The present study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety between robot-assisted nephroureterectomy (RANU) and open nephroureterectomy (ONU) for the treatment of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). We systematically searched four electronic dat...
BACKGROUND: For medical institutions without robotic equipment, it remains uncertain whether laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy (LNU) can achieve results similar to those of robotic surgery for the treatment of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (...
BACKGROUND: Accurate lymph node staging is important for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with bladder cancer. We aimed to develop a lymph node metastases diagnostic model (LNMDM) on whole slide images and to assess the clinical effect of an a...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Radiomics and deep learning are two popular technologies used to develop computer-aided detection and diagnosis schemes for analysing medical images. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of radiomics, single-task d...
BACKGROUND: Applying deep learning to digital histopathology is hindered by the scarcity of manually annotated datasets. While data augmentation can ameliorate this obstacle, its methods are far from standardized. Our aim was to systematically explor...
PURPOSE: Functional outcomes of robot-assisted (RA) radical cystectomy (RC) with intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder (i-ON) have been poorly investigated. The study aimed to report functional outcomes of a prospective randomized controlled trial (RC...

INTRODUCTION: We aimed to compare short term outcomes after robot assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) and open radical cystectomy (ORC) for urinary bladder cancer in a large population.
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess midterm functional outcomes and complications of robot-assisted laparoscopic cystectomy with non-continent urinary diversion in patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction.
BACKGROUND: Accurate pathological diagnosis of invasion depth and histologic grade is key for clinical management in patients with bladder cancer (BCa), but it is labour-intensive, experience-dependent and subject to interobserver variability. Here, ...
