Transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURB) is the cornerstone in urological care of bladder cancer patients. Since the introduction of resectoscopes almost 100 years ago, little has changed in the basic resection technique. The further dissemin...
BACKGROUND: Muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is the second most common genitourinary malignancy, and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Recently, molecular subtypes of MIBC have been identified, which have important clinical implic...
Accurate grading of non-muscle-invasive urothelial cell carcinoma is of major importance; however, high interobserver variability exists. A fully automated detection and grading network based on deep learning is proposed to enhance reproducibility. A...
Robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal Studer pouch formation (ICSPF) is increasingly being performed. Balbay's technique of ICSPF replicates the open approach with the additional advantages of inserting internal Double-J stent...

BACKGROUND: Relatives of patients with bladder cancer have been shown to be at increased risk for kidney, lung, thyroid, and cervical cancer after correcting for smoking-related behaviors that may concentrate in some families. We demonstrate a novel ...

Since the introduction of robot-assisted radical cystectomy, efforts have been made to meet the standards in terms of perioperative safety and oncological efficacy. Several randomized controlled studies and meta-analyses, and multi-institutional stud...
OBJECTIVE: To determine if the addition of electronic health record data enables better risk stratification and readmission prediction after radical cystectomy. Despite efforts to reduce their frequency and severity, complications and readmissions fo...
OBJECTIVES: To perform a comparison of complications following open versus robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RC) among women who undergo the procedure. Studies comparing robotic to open RC have been mixed without a clear delineation of which patient...
Nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer has a relatively high postoperative recurrence rate despite the implementation of conventional treatment methods. Cystoscopy is essential for diagnosing and monitoring bladder cancer, but lesions are overlooked whil...
