BACKGROUND: The pathologic diagnosis and Gleason grading of prostate cancer are time-consuming, error-prone, and subject to interobserver variability. Machine learning offers opportunities to improve the diagnosis, risk stratification, and prognostic...
Radical prostatectomy has largely become a procedure requiring a single day in the hospital with improving convalescence. Pre-operative counseling on perioperatively expectations including a discussion of pain management using non-opioid alternatives...
The Charlson comorbidity index is an outdated comorbidity assessment tool which is not disease specific and is not applicable to contemporary BCa patients.
BACKGROUND: Although recent advances in multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) led to an increase in MRI-transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) fusion prostate biopsies, these are time consuming, laborious, and costly. Introduction of deep-learning ...
BACKGROUND: Kidney autotransplantation (KAT) is the ultimate way to salvage kidneys with complex renovascular, ureteral, or malignant pathologies that are not amenable to in situ reconstruction. A minimally invasive approach could broaden its adoptio...
The use of robotic techniques in laparoscopic donor nephrectomy currently tends to involve a longer ischemia time without clear advantages, and the cost of robotic surgery is significantly higher. If only one robot is available, then unnecessary prol...
CONTEXT: Incidental adrenal masses (or adrenal incidentalomas [AI]) are a common finding during imaging and are present in up to 5% of the computed tomography (CT) scans performed on the general population. The best way to manage these lesions is sti...
BACKGROUND: Laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) surgery and minilaparoscopy (ML) represent the evolution of laparoscopy for the treatment of urologic diseases.
