Objective: To assess the efficacity and safety of using tranexamic acid (TXA) in the irrigation solution during transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
Patients And Methods: A total of 50 patients undergoing TURP for benign prostatic hyperplasia were prospectively randomised in a controlled clinical trial and distributed into two groups. Group A received 0.
Background: Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is considered one of the best choices for the treatment of various kinds of urinary tract calculi, although it might cause acute kidney injury.
Objective: To measure the urinary long non-coding RNA-messenger RNA (LncRNA-mRNA) panel before and after ESWL to evaluate post-ESWL renal injury in a reliable and non-invasive method.
Patients And Methods: The study included 60 patients with renal stones treated with ESWL and 30 healthy volunteers.
Objective: To evaluate the safety, efficacy and cost-effectiveness of holmium enucleation of the prostate and bipolar transurethral enucleation of the prostate.
Methods: In our randomized controlled trial, 120 patients were allocated into two equal groups representing holmium enucleation of the prostate and bipolar enucleation of the prostate. Operative parameters were recorded according to operative, enucleation and resection time in addition to the intraoperative complications.
Article Synopsis
- - The study reviews current evidence on robot-assisted vasovasostomy (RAVV) and vasoepididymostomy (RAVE) as alternatives to traditional microscope-assisted vasovasostomy (MAVV) for reversing vasectomies.
- - After analyzing 782 records, 12 human and 3 animal studies were included, showing patency rates of 88%-100% for RAVV, while RAVE had lower rates of 55%-61%.
- - The findings suggest that RAVV is a viable option with outcomes similar to microsurgical methods, benefiting from enhanced precision and visibility during the procedure.
Eight-Year Experience With 3-T Intraoperative MRI Integration in Focal Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery: Impact on Extent of Resection, Residual Volumes, and Seizure Outcomes.
AJR Am J Roentgenol
June 2020
The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of 3-T intraoperative MRI (ioMRI) on the extent of resection of pediatric focal epileptogenic lesions, residual lesion volumes, and postoperative seizure outcomes. All surgical procedures for focal epilepsy from 2003 to 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups: those who underwent ioMRI and those who did not.

Group A, underwent transperitoneal stentless LLP sealed with fibrin glue, whilst Group B underwent the same procedure without fibrin glue.

We assessed real-world safety and efficacy of LDV/SOF with or without ribavirin (RBV) in GT4-infected patients with compensated and decompensated cirrhosis.
Patients & Methods: This observational cohort (n = 213) included GT4 treatment-naïve (59.
