INTRODUCTION: Transient stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after holmium laser enucleation of prostate (HoLEP) is commonly linked to intraoperative injury of the external urethral sphincter (EUS). We assessed the reliability of the post-HoLEP endoscop...
OBJECTIVES: Hirsutism is a widespread condition affecting 5%-15% of females. Laser treatment of hirsutism has the best long-term effect. Patients with nonpigmented or nonterminal hairs are not eligible for laser treatment, and the current patient jou...
We aimed to develop machine learning (ML) algorithms for the automated prediction of postoperative ureteroscopy outcomes for pediatric kidney stones based on preoperative characteristics. Data from pediatric patients who underwent ureteroscopy for ...
Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is gaining increasing relevance in medicine, with an innovative application being the intraoperative assessment of the outcome of laser ablation treatment used for minimally invasive tumor removal. However, the high dimens...

Supraglottic laryngectomy has evolved from open to transoral endoscopic approaches with advancements in surgical techniques and instruments such as lasers, endoscopes, ultrasonic devices, and robotics. Transoral laser-assisted microsurgery has emerge...
INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to investigate and compare clinical safety and efficiency of Thulium laser enucleation of the prostate (ThuLEP) and robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) for the treatment of large gland benign prostatic h...
Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy with previous holmium laser enucleation of the prostate is challenging, and few studies have analyzed its perioperative, functional, and oncological outcomes. Here we retrospectively evaluated 298 robot-assisted r...
OBJECTIVE: Robot-assisted (RA) stereotactic MRI-guided laser ablation has been reported to be a safe and effective technique for the treatment of epileptogenic foci in children and adults. In this study the authors aimed to assess the accuracy of RA ...
OBJECTIVE: Since 2007, the authors have performed 34 hemispherotomies and 17 posterior quadrant disconnections (temporoparietooccipital [TPO] disconnections) for refractory epilepsy at Sant Joan de Déu Barcelona Children's Hospital. Incomplete discon...
