Robotic Ureter Reimplantation After Urinary Diversion.

Introduction: Benign ureterointestinal anastomotic stricture (UIAS) is a recognized long-term complication following radical cystectomy with urinary diversion (UD). The incidence of UIAS following robotic-assisted radical cystectomy varies, with reported rates ranging from 6.5%-25.

[Balloon dilation treatment of primary obstructive megaureter in children].

Purpose: Investigation of the results of ureteral stricture single balloon dilation in children with primary obstructive megaureter.

Materials And Methods: Since 2012 to 2020 79 children (65 boys and 15 girls) with primary obstructive megaureter of II and III grades who had 92 affected ureters were operated on by method of ureteral stricture balloon dilation. Duration of postoperative stenting period was Me=68 [48; 91] days, bladder catheterization period - Me=15 [5; 61] days.

Reporting and grading of complications for intracorporeal robot-assisted radical cystectomy: an in-depth short-term morbidity assessment using the novel Comprehensive Complication Index.

Objective: To assess suitability of Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) vs. Clavien-Dindo classification (CDC) to capture 30-day morbidity after robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC).

Materials And Methods: A total of 128 patients with bladder cancer (BCa) undergoing intracorporeal RARC with pelvic lymph node dissection between 2015 and 2021 were included in a retrospective bi-institutional study, which adhered to standardized reporting criteria.

Impact of obesity on perioperative, functional and oncological outcomes after robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy in a high-volume center.

Objective: To compare surgical, oncological and functional outcomes between obese vs. normal-weight prostate cancer (PCa) patients treated with robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).

Materials And Methods: We assessed 4555 consecutive RARP patients from a high-volume center 2008-2018.

[Morphological changes in the ureteral wall in contact ureterolithotripsy].

We studied a harmful action of laser, ultrasound and ballistic energies on intact wall of human ureter in 15 ureters of men and women with renal carcinoma aged 43-55 years (mean age 48 +/- 8 years) before nephrureterectomy in vivo. With growing time of exposure to laser radiation, ureteral mucosa undergoes destructive alterations up to muscular layer. Ureteral wall exposure to ultrasound do not change thickness of the wall considerably, cell elements remain viable.
