We performed a retrospective comparison of surgical, oncologic, and functional outcomes after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy between patients who have undergone prior transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) to TURP-naive patients. Past rob...
Since the transition of surgical robot systems into the medical field, physicians have had to develop new dexterity skills. The ideal learning environment for robotic surgery has yet to be discovered. Virtual reality (VR) simulation is a possible sa...
The study's aim was to externally validate a new predictive model for the new baseline glomerular filtration rate (NB-GFR) postnephrectomy among Japanese patients. Patients with renal tumors who underwent radical nephrectomy (RN) or robot-assisted ...
The Clavien-Dindo Classification (CDC) only reports the postoperative complication of highest grade. It is thus of limited value for radical cystectomy, after which patients usually experience multiple complications. The Comprehensive Complication I...
To analyze operating room (OR) efficiency by evaluating fixed OR times for three common urologic robot-assisted procedures. Over a 24-month period, we prospectively collected intraoperative data for 635 consecutive robot-assisted surgeries. Fixed (...
The decision-making of how to treat urinary infection stones was complicated by the difficulty in preoperative diagnosis of these stones. Hence, we developed machine learning (ML) models that can be leveraged to discriminate between infection and no...
The aim of this systematic review is to assess the robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) learning curve (LC), which is important to consider in both risk-benefit assessment and training. We performed a systematic literature search using two data...
To identify protective and risk factors of early postoperative complications after robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) for urothelial bladder carcinoma. Data of all robot-assisted cystectomies performed in six French centers between February 2...
Robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) and endoscopic enucleation of the prostate (EEP) are two minimally invasive alternatives to simple prostatectomy, which is considered the standard treatment in large prostate glands. It remains unclear whic...
Robot-assisted ureteral reimplantation (RAUR) is a relatively new minimally invasive procedure. As such, research is lacking, and the largest adult cohort studies include fewer than 30 patients. Our aim was to be the first population-based study to ...
