Department of Urology, University of Turku and Turku University Hospital, Turku, Finland.
Article Synopsis
- This study reports on survival outcomes following radical cystectomy (RC) for bladder cancer in Finland, using data collected from 2005 to 2017.
- It included 2047 patients, finding a 30-day and 90-day mortality of 1.3% and 3.8%, with overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) rates significantly varying according to the pathological staging (pT-category).
- The results showed that while surgical volume did not impact mortality or long-term survival, contemporary survival rates from Finland are comparable to those from high-volume single-center studies.

Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Päijät-Häme Central Hospital of Lahti, 15850 Lahti, Finland.
We have compared tonsillectomy (TE) with tissue welding (TW) technology using a specially designed forceps versus conventional monopolar electrocautery to evaluate whether this new technology may improve recovery after TE. This was a single-blind, randomized clinical trial with two parallel groups. Sixty healthy adult day-surgery patients were allocated into the TW-TE group (n = 31) and the monopolar electrocautery-TE group (n = 29).
