Article Synopsis
- Selective clamping during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) relies on detailed knowledge of a patient's kidney blood flow, which is obtained through imaging technology.
- The study aimed to validate a custom algorithm that generates 3D models of kidney blood supply to enhance surgical planning for 25 patients treated at Ghent University Hospital between 2020 and 2022.
- Results showed the algorithm was highly accurate in predicting the ischemic zones, with high ratings from urologists on its performance, though future studies are needed to fully assess its clinical benefits.
The Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) has been used as intravesical immunotherapy for superficial urothelial bladder carcinoma in preventing its recurrence. Prosthetic joint infections due to those instillations are very rare and few practitioners know this side effect. We report the case of a 77-year old male with a medical history of right hip replacement and super- ficial urothelial bladder carcinoma treated with BCG-instillations.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate surgical outcomes after implantation of the ZSI 475 FTM in the neophallus; this is the first erectile device specifically manufactured for implantation after phalloplasty.
Methods: This is a prospective observational study of patients undergoing implantation of the ZSI 475 FTM in the neophallus at a tertiary referral center since September 2017.
