Article Synopsis
- The incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has increased in recent years, largely due to more frequent imaging studies, and the 5-year survival rate has improved, possibly due to better surgical methods and medical treatments.
- A retrospective study analyzed 588 adult RCC patients treated from 2008 to 2019, focusing on clinical presentation, surgical outcomes, and management trends.
- Results showed a majority of cases were diagnosed incidentally, with robotic surgeries becoming more common, while no significant differences in survival rates were found by region or tumor type, though patients from Riyadh had higher recurrence times.
Objective: The main objective is to review the overall result and impact of preoperative testosterone level on sperm retrieval rate (SRR) by microdissection testicular sperm extraction (micro-TESE) in patients with nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA).
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the files of patients who underwent micro-TESE for NOA from August 2013 to December 2014. All patients were evaluated with history, physical examination, and hormonal assessment.
Purpose: Augmentation cystoplasty (AC) is a surgical procedure used in adults and children with refractory bladder dysfunction, including a small bladder capacity and inadequate bladder compliance, and in whom conservative and medical treatment has failed. This study was aimed to determine the long-term outcomes of AC in children.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of 42 patients (31 males; mean age, 14.
