After the introduction of same-day discharge (SDD) pathways for various surgeries, these pathways have demonstrated comparable complication rates and a reduced overall cost of care. Outpatient robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is introduce...
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy is a minimally invasive, safe procedure preferred in the management of localized prostate cancer. In this study, we present our initial experience with the avatera system (avateramedical GmbH, Jena, Ge...
To compare racial differences and pelvis dimensions between Caucasians and African Americans (AAs) and to develop a risk calculator and scoring system to predict the risk of prolonged operative time and presence of positive surgical margins (PSM) ba...
BACKGROUND: Risk of biochemical recurrence (BCR) in localised prostate cancer can be stratified using the 5-tier Cambridge Prognostic Group (CPG) or 3-tier European Association of Urology (EAU) model. Active surveillance is the current recommendation...
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to enhance diagnostic accuracy and improve treatment outcomes. However, AI integration into clinical workflows and patient perspectives remain unclear.
A 48-year-old man with a medical history of hypertension and no family history of prostate cancer presented with abdominal distension, lower abdominal pain, and lower urinary symptoms. Physical examination revealed a palpable mass in the lower abdome...
PURPOSE: To determine baseline factors and surgical procedures associated with clinically meaningful improvement or deterioration of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).
In the present study, we present comparative outcomes of radical prostatectomy after whole-gland therapy (wg-SRARP) and focal gland therapy (f-SRARP). The study assessed 339 patients who underwent salvage robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (SRARP);...
BACKGROUND: Feedback is important for surgical trainees but it can be biased and time-consuming. We examined crowd-sourced assessment as an alternative to experienced surgeons' assessment of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).
INTRODUCTION: Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) of the prostate are extremely rare. We report on a 60-year-old man who was diagnosed with prostatic SFT through transurethral resection (TUR) of the prostate, and we provide a narrative literature review t...
