Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is challenging in men with prior history of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Few studies analyze this peculiar group of patients, and hence we sought to investigate the outcome of RARP in pos...
Core needle biopsy (CNB) is a method that can be used as an alternative to fine-needle aspiration for the sampling of thyroid nodules to provide a preoperative diagnosis. Nuclear atypia is of paramount importance in diagnosing thyroid tumors. We aime...
Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in men with body mass index (BMI) ≥ 35 kg/m is considered technically challenging. We conducted a retrospective matched-pair analysis to compare the oncological and functional outcomes of RARP in men with B...
Prior history of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) can complicate Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Very few studies analyse the outcomes of RARP in men with a prior history of TURP. We analysed the oncological and functional ...
