BACKGROUND: Despite efforts aimed at preserving renal function, the functional decline after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is not negligible. To address the risk of intraparenchymal vessel injuries during renorrhaphy, with consequent loss...
CONTEXT: Men suspected of harboring prostate cancer (PCa) increasingly undergo multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and mpMRI-guided biopsy. The potential of mpMRI coupled to artificial intelligence (AI) methods to detect and classify P...
Body composition analysis (BCA) generates objective anthropometric data that can inform prognostication and treatment decisions across a wide variety of urologic conditions. A patient's body composition, specifically muscle and adipose tissue mass, m...
The field of artificial intelligence continues to advance rapidly. Improvements in both patient outcomes and the patient-doctor relationship may occur if physicians embrace this technology.
BACKGROUND: Open radical cystectomy (ORC) is still considered the reference approach for RC, although robot-assisted RC (RARC) has recently gained in popularity. There are literature reports on perioperative and oncologic outcomes of RARC, but functi...
Robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) continues to expand, and several surgeons start training for this complex procedure. This calls for the development of a structured training program, with the aim to improve patient safety during RARC learning...
