The influence of the console surgeon on the feasibility and outcome of various robot-assisted surgeries has been evaluated. These variables may be partially affected by the skills of the patient-side surgeon (PSS), but this has not been evaluated usi...
Despite being standard tools for decision-making, the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC), European Association of Urology (EAU), and Club Urologico Espanol de Tratamiento Oncologico (CUETO) risk groups provide moderate...
Bladder cancer is one of the top 10 frequently occurring cancers and leads to most cancer deaths worldwide. Recently, blue light (BL) cystoscopy-based photodynamic diagnosis was introduced as a unique technology to enhance the detection of bladder ca...
We aimed to compare the oncologic outcomes of intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD) and extracorporeal urinary diversion (ECUD) following robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) in patients diagnosed with bladder cancer. Medical records of 730 p...
Accurate segmentation of the tumour area is crucial for the treatment and prognosis of patients with bladder cancer. However, the complex information from the MRI image poses an important challenge for us to accurately segment the lesion, for example...
In 2012, the European Association of Urology (EAU) Ad Hoc Panel proposed a standardised methodology on reporting and grading complications after urological surgical procedures. The aim of the current study was to assess the impact of this implementat...
BACKGROUND: Although deep learning algorithms for clinical cytology have recently been developed, their application to practical assistance systems has not been achieved. In addition, whether deep learning systems (DLSs) can perform diagnoses that ca...

BACKGROUND: Most comparisons of robot-assisted (RARC) versus open radical cystectomy (ORC) for urothelial carcinoma do not factor the inherent stage selection bias or surgical experience.
Traditional histopathology performed by pathologists by the naked eye is insufficient for accurate and efficient diagnosis of bladder cancer (BCa). We collected 643 H&E-stained BCa images from Shanghai General Hospital and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TC...
