Bladder endometriosis accounts for 70%-85% cases of urinary tract endometriosis. A high index of suspicion is needed to diagnose this condition as most women have associated pelvic and menstrual complaints. The presence of cyclical haematuria along w...
This paper presents an application of neural networks operating on multimodal 3D data (3D point cloud, RGB, thermal) to effectively and precisely segment human hands and objects held in hand to realize a safe human-robot object handover. We discuss t...
CONTEXT: Retzius sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) is increasingly being used, but results of pertinent studies on perioperative, functional, and oncological outcomes comparing the Retzius sparing approach with standard robot-ass...

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to evaluate partial excision of the levator ani muscle (PELM) enables preservation of anal sphincter function although levator ani muscle (LAM) was invaded.
INTRODUCTION: There is still a lack of availability of high-quality multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) interpreted by experienced uro-radiologists to rule out clinically significant PC (csPC). Consequently, we developed a new imaging ...
