OBJECTIVES: To compare the perioperative and oncological outcomes between robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal urinary diversion versus open cystectomy for bladder cancer in a contemporary Enhanced Recovery After Surgery cohort.
PURPOSE: When exploring survival outcomes for patients with bladder cancer, most studies rely on conventional statistical methods such as proportional hazards models. Given the successful application of machine learning to handle big data in many dis...
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...
