Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of spectral parameters of dual-layer spectral detector computed tomography (DLCT) in distinguishing between low- and high-grade bladder cancer (BCa).
Methods: This single-center retrospective study included pathologically confirmed BCa patients who underwent preoperative contrast-enhanced DLCT. Patients were divided into low- and high-grade groups based on pathology.

Purpose: To assess the surgical outcomes of Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Extravesical Ureteral Reimplantation (RALUR-EV) in infants under one year of age with primary vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) as compared to older children.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 48 children with VUR who underwent unilateral or bilateral RALUR-EV between June 2018 and December 2022. Patients were divided into two groups: Group A (25 infants under one year) and Group B (23 children over one year).

The patient was treated with the luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone-antagonist and abiraterone acetate plus prednisone, dabigatran 150 mg bid (for atrial fibrillation and coronary heart disease) and 5-aminosalicylic acid for the management of mild ulcerative colitis. Imaging revealed bladder overdistention and blood analysis low levels of hematocrit (HCT) and hemoglobin (HGB) (HCT, 22%; HGB, 7.

Objective: To develop a three-dimensional (3D) image based extended tumor plane technique for robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN).
Methods: We prospectively enrolled patients with a local renal tumor for RAPN between March 2019 and Mar 2022. 3D virtual model was reconstructed based on the computed tomography urography.
