Prevalence of perioperative pulmonary embolism in patients with renal cell carcinoma undergoing nephrectomy.

This study aims to determine the prevalence of perioperative PE and outcomes in patients with RCC scheduled for nephrectomy. A total of 418 patients were included in this single-center, observational study. Three hundred patients with RCC were retrospectively reviewed between 2016 and 2020, and the remaining patients were prospectively collected between 2020 and 2022 to minimize the effect of the long-time span.

Comparison of renal function of patients after tumor nephrectomy versus donor nephrectomy: Long term outcome using a propensity score matching analysis.

Objective: To compare long-term incidence rate of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients after tumor nephrectomy (TN) and donor nephrectomy (DN) and to evaluate risk factors for developing CKD.

Materials And Methods: Data from 1048 patients who performed TN (552) and DN (496) between 2000 and 2018 at Siriraj hospital were retrospectively analyzed. We obtained 106 patients for each group after using a 1:1 propensity score matching by age and preoperative glomerular filtration rate (GFR).

Perioperative factors and 30-day major complications following radical cystectomy: A single-center study in Thailand.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of early postoperative complications of radical cystectomy, using standardized reporting methodology to assess perioperative characteristics and determine risk factors for major complications.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study included 254 consecutive bladder cancer patients undergoing RC between 2012 and 2020 at a urological cancer referral center. Postoperative complications within 30 days were recorded and graded according to the Clavien-Dindo classification (CDC).

Anterior quadratus lumborum block provided superior pain control and reduced opioid consumption in kidney transplantation: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: The research aimed to assess the effectiveness of inside-out anterior quadratus lumborum (QL3) block and local wound infiltration in managing postoperative pain and total morphine dosage following kidney transplantation.

Methods: In this prospective, randomized, double-blind study; 46 end-stage renal disease patients undergoing kidney transplantation were randomly allocated into 2 groups: a QL group (n = 23) receiving 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine using the ultrasound-assisted inside-out technique before wound closure, while the local wound infiltration (LA) group (n = 23) receiving the same dose around the surgical wound and drain at the time of skin closure.

In vitro Comparison of the Mechanical and Optical Characteristics of 5 Disposable Flexible Ureteroscopes.

Introduction: Disposable (single-use) flexible ureteroscopes are alternatives to reusable ureteroscopes. With their superior surgical efficacy and safety in the presence of upper urinary calculi, disposable ureteroscopes aim to overcome the main limitations of conventional reusable ureteroscopes. However, studies on the performance of the most recently developed models of single-use flexible ureteroscopes are scarce.

Survival benefits after radical nephrectomy and IVC thrombectomy of renal cell carcinoma patients with inferior vena cava thrombus.

Objective: The role of tumor thrombus as a predictor of survival in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is controversial. This study aims to evaluate surgical and oncological outcomes after surgery in RCC with inferior vena cava (IVC) tumor thrombus patients.

Materials And Methods: A total of 58 patients (2002-2019) underwent radical nephrectomy and IVC thrombectomy at our institute, were retrospectively reviewed.

Role of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging on the surgical outcomes of radical prostatectomy: Does preoperative tumor recognition reduce the positive surgical margin in a specific location? Experience from a Thailand prostate cancer specialized center.

Objective: Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become the standard of care for the diagnosis of prostate cancer patients. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of preoperative MRI on the positive surgical margin (PSM) rates.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 1070 prostate cancer patients treated with radical prostatectomy (RP) at Siriraj Hospital between January 2013 and September 2019.

Color Doppler Guided in Early Renal Allograft Biopsy: A Safer and Non-Inferior Technique.

Background: This study compared a novel technique for renal allograft biopsy, color Doppler ultrasound-guided biopsy (CDUS-Bx), with routine ultrasound-guided biopsy (RUS-Bx).

Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on 111 patients, with 42 undergoing CDUS-Bx and 69 undergoing RUS-Bx. Urologists used an 18-gauge automatic spring-loaded biopsy needle for all procedures.

The Impact of Arterial Clamping Technique in Robot-Assisted Partial Nephrectomy on Renal Function and Surgical Outcomes: Six-Year Experience at Siriraj Hospital, Thailand.

Introduction: Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) with different arterial clamping techniques has increasingly been performed to avoid ischemic injury to nephron. However, postoperative renal function remains controversial. We determine the impact of each renal arterial clamping on surgical and renal outcomes after RAPN.

Comparison of urinary continence outcome between robotic assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy versus laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.

Objective: To compare urinary continent rate at six and 12-month postoperative period, and perioperative outcome between robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) at Siriraj Hospital.

Material And Method: All medical records of patients performed RALP and LRP between 2005 and 2010 were reviewed. Data composed of demographic information, perioperative outcome, and oncologic outcome.

Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy: oncological and functional outcomes of 559 cases in Siriraj Hospital, Thailand.

Objective: To evaluate the results of oncological and functional outcomes of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) during the first five years experience in Siriraj hospital.

Materials And Method: Between September 2004 and September 2009, the functional and oncological outcomes of 559 patients that underwent LRP were retrospectively evaluated.

Results: The distribution of pathological T stage was T2 (52.

Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy: perioperative outcomes and morbidity of 559 consecutive cases in Siriraj Hospital, Thailand.

Objective: To evaluate perioperative outcomes and morbidity of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in Siriraj Hospital during a 5-year experience.

Material And Method: Five hundred fifty nine patients who underwent laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) by seven surgeons at Siriraj Hospital between September 2004 and September 2009 were included in the study. Data of perioperative results and postoperative parameters were retrospectively evaluated.
