Comparison of Perioperative, Functional, and Oncological Outcomes of Transperitoneal and Extraperitoneal Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the oncological, functional, and perioperative outcomes of localized and locally advanced prostate cancer treated with intraperitoneal or extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP).

Methods: From April, 2008, through December, 2020, 266 patients underwent laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, 168 cases with an extraperitoneal approach (E-LRP) and 98 cases using a transperitoneal approach (T-LRP). The clinical, perioperative, functional, and oncological outcomes were collected and compared between these groups.

Oncological Outcomes of Radical Cystectomy for Transitional Cell Carcinoma of Bladder.

Objective: To investigate the oncological outcome of radical cystectomy for muscle invasive bladder (MIBC) on cancerspecific survival.

Material And Method: A consecutive series of patients undergoing radical cystectomy from 2004 to 2012 were recorded. The prognostic significance of several clinicopathologic factors in these patients were analyzed.

Oncological Outcome of Docetaxel-Based Chemotherapy for Men with Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer.

Objective: To retrospectively review the oncological outcome of docetaxel-based chemotherapy in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).

Material And Method: The present study included 68 patients with mCRPC who were treated with 3-weekly docetaxel (75 mg/m2) plus prednisone between 2010 and 2014. The prognostic significance of several clinicopathologic factors in these patients were analyzed.

Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in Songklanagarind Hospital: first series from Southern Thailand.

Objective: To describe our technique of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) and evaluated outcome during the first year experience in Songklanagarind Hospital.

Material And Method: Between August 2011 and October 2012, sixteen patients of localized prostate cancer underwent LRP in Songklanagarind Hospital and were evaluated. The authors used five ports and conducted with an extraperitoneal approach.

Renal pelvic villous adenoma presented with mucusuria: report of a case and literature review.

Villous adenomas of the urinary tract are an uncommon condition, and appear mostly in patients where the disease occurred in the lower urinary tract. In contrast, upper urinary tract villous adenomas are a rare condition. Currently, just three cases of villous adenoma in the renal pelvis have been published.

Application of "cinch/tie" technique to robotic-assisted nephropexy for posterior abdominal wall fixation.

Nephropexy remains standard for symptomatic nephroptosis, and several minimally-invasive techniques have been described. Triangulation sutures placed between the abdominal wall and the renal capsule are often difficult to tie tightly due to the confined working space. We propose a technique modification to fixate the kidney utilizing the da Vinci Surgical System robot and Lapra-Ty absorbable suture clips.

Tuberculosis of the urinary tract in southern Thailand.

Background: The urinary system is one of the common sites of involvement of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB). The accurate diagnosis and treatment of extrapulmonary TB is complex and difficult.

Objective: To address the epidemiology and drug susceptibility of urinary tract TB in southern Thailand.
