Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the perioperative results of robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty using the new hinotori surgical robot.
- It compared outcomes between 11 patients operated on with hinotori and 30 patients operated on with the da Vinci system, focusing on surgical time, success rates, and complications.
- Results showed similar performance between the hinotori and da Vinci systems, indicating that hinotori is at least as effective as da Vinci for this procedure.
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers analyzed medical records from patients at Kobe University Hospital, utilizing immunohistochemistry (IHC) and next-generation sequencing (NGS) to assess biological markers and mutations in t-NEPC cases.
- * Findings revealed a strong correlation between IHC and NGS results, suggesting that these methods can enhance diagnostic accuracy and understanding of the cancer's progression from adenocarcinoma to t-NEPC.
Introduction: A prolonged operative time of lithotripsy with ureteroscopy for urolithiasis increases the risk of infectious complications; however, few reports have investigated the factors prolonging the operative time for ureteral stones. We investigated the factors associated with longer operative time in ureteroscopy for ureteral stones.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed patients who underwent retrograde ureteroscopic lithotripsy for ureteral stones and achieved an endoscopic stone-free status between April 2019 and July 2022.
Background: Managing medication use in older orthopedic patients is imperative to extend their healthy life expectancy in an aging society. However, the actual situation regarding polypharmacy, the intake of potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs), and fall risk-increasing drugs (FRIDs) among older orthopedic patients is not well characterized. This study aimed to investigate the medication-based profiles of older orthopedic patients to highlight the critical points of concern.
