Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed risk factors for biochemical recurrence (BCR) after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) using data from patients treated between 2018 and 2020, excluding those with certain complications or missing data.
- Results indicated that the International Society of Urological Pathologists (ISUP) grade is a strong predictor for BCR, particularly for higher grades, while pT3b stage also significantly predicted BCR in patients with advanced tumors.
- The findings conclude that ISUP grade and tumor stage are critical risk factors for BCR after RARP, with additional emphasis on the significance of positive surgical margins in pT2 cases and the pT3b substage in pT3 cases.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the relationship between multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) parameters and the up-staging of pT3a prostate cancer in a large cohort of patients who underwent robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).
- The analysis included 383 cases, examining factors like age, BMI, PSA levels, and various MRI and histopathological parameters to determine their association with cancer progression.
- Key findings reveal that higher PSA levels, PI-RADS scores, and ISUP grades are significantly linked to upstaging, while greater tumour coverage is correlated with worse surgical outcomes, indicating potential markers for cancer prognosis.
Prior history of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) can complicate Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Very few studies analyse the outcomes of RARP in men with a prior history of TURP. We analysed the oncological and functional outcomes of RARP in post-TURP men from our prospectively maintained database.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective multicentre study of 1600 RCs at three high-volume institutions between January 2009 and March 2022 was performed. Pathological findings in gynaecological organs in female RC specimens were reviewed.
Background And Aims: Ketamine use as a recreational drug is becoming more popular nowadays. Ketamine-induced uropathy (KIU) is a late finding observed with long-term use of ketamine. A systematic review of Ketamine-Induced Uropathy was performed to emphasise its key clinical manifestations, mechanism of action and establish an effective treatment pathway.
