Objectives: To review radiation exposure during emergency ureteric stent insertion to identify differences based on operator experience, specialty operator and stone characteristics.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective audit over 10 years was performed for patients who underwent emergency stent insertion for urolithiasis with intraoperative fluoroscopy. Outcomes measured included operator experience, radiation exposure (mGy), dose area product (Gy/cm), fluoroscopy time, stone characteristics and patient BMI.
Objective: To evaluate the rate of revision surgery following commonly performed procedures for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is hyperplasia of both glandular and stromal components of prostate especially in periurethral transitional gland, using real-world data from Medicare Australia.
Methods: Prospection is a Healthcare Data Analytics firm that has negotiated access with the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) to provide longitudinal data on the use of specific procedural item codes. We identified patients over the age of 40 years who had undergone primary transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP) or photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) between 2005 and 2010 using MBS item numbers 37203, 37207 and 36854, respectively.
Background: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography/computerised tomography (PET/CT) is increasingly being utilised in the diagnostic pathway for prostate cancer (PCa). Recent publications have suggested that this might help identify those who can avoid biopsy.
Objective: The primary objective of this study was to determine whether PET magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) fusion could negate the need to biopsy prior to prostatectomy in a selected population of men.
