BACKGROUND: There is paucity of data about functional outcomes of Robot-assisted Radical Cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder (ICON), and the impact of learning curve (LC) on those outcomes remains to be addressed. The aim of t...
BACKGROUND: Minimal literature describes the impact of hilar control on the progression to chronic kidney disease (pCKD) after robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) in solitary kidneys (SK). The aim of this study was to compare purely off-clamp (ocRPN) v...
The management of a ureteral orifice injury occurring during robotic radical prostatectomy (RARP) represents a challenge for urologists. Several techniques have been proposed to treat an intraoperative injury, but intraoperative positioning of a DJ s...
In the last few years, the scientific community has seen an increasing interest towards the potential applications of artificial intelligence in medicine and healthcare. In this context, urology represents an area of rapid development, particularly i...
INTRODUCTION: Artificial intelligence and machine learning are the new frontier in urology; they can assist the diagnostic work-up and in prognostication bring superior to the existing nomograms. Infectious events and in particular the septic risk, a...
Standardized training programs for open (OKT) and robot-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT) remain unmet clinical needs. To fill this gap, we designed a modified Delphi Consensus aiming to propose the first structured surgical curricula for both O...
The aim of this study is to present the first Italian experience with robotic-assisted retrograde intrarenal surgery (rRIRS) using the Ily platform. Procedures were performed for renal stones using the Ily Robot (STERLAB, Vallauris, France), which is...
BACKGROUND: BPH-6 achievement remains an objective far to be evaluated for every technique currently available for the surgical management of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) with the goal of preserving ejaculatory function. The aim of this study was...
BACKGROUND: The SPARE Nephrometry Score (NS) is described as easier to implement than the RENAL and PADUA NSs, currently more widely used. Our objective was to compare the accuracy of SPARE NS in predicting renal function outcomes following RAPN.
