INTRODUCTION: Botulinum toxin injection (BTI) has been advocated as a second line therapy in management of neuropathic bladder in pediatric population for refractory patients to conventional medical management such as anticholinergics. The purpose wa...
INTRODUCTION: Pediatric surgery began with single-incision flank surgery and has evolved to multi-port laparoscopic and robotic approaches. Recent technological advances with the single-port (SP) robot have allowed for transition back to single-incis...
The aim of the present study was to compare the perioperative outcomes of extracorporeal (EXTRA) intracorporeal (INTRA) urinary diversion in patients undergoing robotic cystectomy and ileal conduit for neurogenic bladder. All consecutive patients ...
AIM: The objective of the present study was to compare the outcomes of open versus laparoscopic versus robotic cystectomy and ileal conduit for neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD).
PURPOSE: Cystectomy associated with non-continent ileal diversion is a common surgery in patients with neurogenic bladder. Few data are available, especially for the robotic approach. Our purpose was to compare open cystectomy (OC) and robot-assisted...
PURPOSE: Urologists rely heavily on videourodynamics to identify patients with neurogenic bladders who are at risk of upper tract injury, but their interpretation has high interobserver variability. Our objective was to develop deep learning models o...
PURPOSE: Patients with spinal cord injuries (SCIs) experience variable urinary symptoms and quality of life (QOL). Our objective was to use machine learning to identify bladder-relevant phenotypes after SCI and assess their association with urinary s...
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have indicated that creatinine (Cr)-based glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimating equations - including the new Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology creatinine (CKD-EPI) equation without race and the estimated glomerul...
