In 2018, the da Vinci Single Port (SP) robotic system was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for urologic procedures. Available studies for the application of SP to prostate cancer surgery are limited. The aim of our study is to summariz...
The da Vinci Vessel Sealer is a major contributor to the total cost of robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). We aimed to assess whether the use of the Vessel Sealer is associated with better surgical outcomes in a population of patients t...
We compared outcomes of robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) in patients with and without a history of prior prostate surgery for management of symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). We retrospectively reviewed our multi-institutiona...
BACKGROUND: Most radical prostatectomies are completed with robotic assistance. While studies have previously evaluated perioperative outcomes of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), this study investigates disparities in access and clinical ...
Traditional teaching suggests that prior pelvic operations, including prostatectomy, are a contraindication to laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Despite the growing use of robotic platforms in inguinal hernia repair, there are few studies describi...
PURPOSE: To assess the clinical acceptability of a commercial deep-learning-based auto-segmentation (DLAS) prostate model that was retrained using institutional data for delineation of the clinical target volume (CTV) and organs-at-risk (OARs) for po...
Systematic reviews (SR) have always been used as the best evidence to compare three radical prostatectomy (RP) techniques: retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP), laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP), and robotic radical prostatectomy (RARP). De...
PURPOSE: It is unclear whether ketorolac-based patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) leads to acute kidney injury (AKI) after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in patients susceptible to AKI. We compared the postoperative AKI incidence with ke...
OBJECTIVE: To compare robot-assisted simple prostatectomy intraoperative and postoperative.ßoutcomes between single-port (SP) and multiport (MP) robotic systems in a multi-institutional setting.
Lipoma is a benign mesenchymal tumour that can develop in any part of the body containing adipose tissue. Very few cases of pelvic lipomas have been reported in the literature. Due to their location and slow growth, pelvic lipomas are often asymptoma...
