Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers analyzed data from 400 living donors, finding a significant correlation between predicted and actual kidney function post-surgery, with the predictive model showing good accuracy.
  • * The validated formula offers a useful tool for improving the selection process of living kidney donors, helping to mitigate concerns about decreased renal function after donation.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to compare living-donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) performed either sequentially, in one operating room, leading to extended cold ischemia time (CIT) or simultaneously, in two different operating room, with shorter CIT.

Methods: We retrospectively included all living-donor nephrectomies and kidney transplantations, performed from March 2010 to March 2014, in three French university centers. In the first one (C1), LDKTs were performed in sequential manner (Sequential group) and in C2 and C3, LDKTs were performed in simultaneous manner (Simultaneous group).

The main objective of this preliminary study was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of 3-D laparoscopic living donor left nephrectomy (LDLN). The secondary objective was to compare intraoperative and postoperative outcomes between 3-D and 2-D laparoscopic LDLN. All patients who underwent a laparoscopic LDLN from January 2015 to April 2018 in a university center were included.

Purpose: This study aimed at reporting the long-term oncological outcomes of robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) for renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Methods: Data from all consecutive patients who underwent RAPN for RCC from July 2009 to January 2012 in three departments of urology were prospectively collected. Overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS) and disease free-survival (DFS) were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

The genitourinary syndrome of menopause has a negative impact on quality of life of postmenopausal women. The treatment of vulvovaginal atrophy includes administration of estrogens. However, oral estrogen treatment is controversial because of its potential risks on venous thrombosis and breast cancer.

Postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with estrogen plus progestogens is the first line therapy to treat menopausal symptoms. The progestogen is added to estrogen to reduce or eliminate the excess risk of endometrial cancer due to the unopposed effect of estrogen. Whereas progestin clearly opposes the proliferative and deleterious long-term actions of estrogen on the endometrium, the interference of progestin on the other estrogen action remains unclear.

Objective: Kidney transplantation from a living donor nephrectomy (LDN) is the best treatment for end-stage renal disease, but decrease in donor renal function is often revealed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between preoperative factors and postoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and test a predictive model to estimate postoperative eGFR, 1 year after LDN.

Patients And Methods: We reviewed 226 records of consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy between 2006 and 2014 in a single tertiary center.

Background: Only a few studies have compared the outcomes of robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) and open partial nephrectomy (OPN). This study aimed to compare perioperative and oncologic outcomes of RPN and OPN.

Methods: The data of all patients who underwent partial nephrectomy from 2006 to 2014 in six academic departments of urology were retrospectively collected.

Background: We propose to improve the prognostic assessment after radical prostatectomy (RP) by dividing high-risk prostate cancer (hrPCa) (according to the d'Amico classification) into subgroups combining 1, 2 or 3 criteria of aggressiveness (cT2c-T3a, PSA >20 ng/ml, Gleason score (GS) > 7).

Methods: Data from 4795 hrPCa patients who underwent RP in two French university hospitals from 1991 to 2013 were analyzed. Subgroups were formed to determine whether an increasing number (1, 2 or 3) of criteria of tumor aggressiveness was associated with poorer oncological results and early biochemical recurrence (BCR) (PSA > 0.

Purpose: To evaluate and compare perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing either transperitoneal (TP) or retroperitoneal (RP) laparoscopic nephrectomy for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).

Methods: All patients with ADPKD who underwent unilateral laparoscopic nephrectomy between 2000 and 2012 in two academic departments were retrospectively included. The perioperative parameters were compared between the TP and RP groups.

The life expectancy of women has risen in the past century from 48years to more than 80. The decline of endogenous estrogen production (in particular, the principal circulating physiological hormone, 17β-estradiol) at menopause (which occurs at an average of 51years) is often accompanied by a series of functional disorders that affect quality of life (QoL). This estrogen deficiency affects different tissues and results in an increase in the prevalence of various disorders, including but not limited to osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease.

Objective: To establish an external validation of the updated nomogram from Briganti et al., which provides estimates of the probability of specimen-confined disease using the variables age, prostate-specific antigen (PSA), clinical stage and biopsy Gleason score in preoperatively defined high-risk prostate cancer (PCa).

Patients And Methods: The study included 523 patients with high-risk PCa, as defined by d'Amico classification, undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP) and bilateral lymph node dissection in one of two academic centres between 1990 and 2013.
