[Interactions between radical prostatovesiculectomy and diagnosis of prostate cancer : A medical-historical inventory on the occasion of 20 years of robot-assisted treatment].

The question of what came first-in this case the diagnosis of prostate cancer or its therapy-seems absurd at first glance and is reminiscent of the classic metaphor-like problem that preoccupied the Greek writer Plutarch (45-125). Today it is a matter of course that a reliable diagnosis is made before treating a disease, but this must be viewed as inconsistent in medical history. The beginnings of...

A Deep Learning-Based Approach for Glomeruli Instance Segmentation from Multistained Renal Biopsy Pathologic Images.

Glomeruli instance segmentation from pathologic images is a fundamental step in the automatic analysis of renal biopsies. Glomerular histologic manifestations vary widely among diseases and cases, and several special staining methods are necessary for pathologic diagnosis. A robust model is needed to segment and classify glomeruli with different staining methods and apply in cases with various glo...

[Needle Lost during Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy : A Case Report].

A 66-year-old man, who presented with prostate cancer, underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. During surgery, a suture needle wa...
