Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the real-world safety profile of medical devices used in focal prostate cancer treatment utilizing the Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) database.
The primary objective of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on patients suffering from comorbid erectile dysfunction (ED) and chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome(CP/CPPS).
Over the past decade, the range of surgical options to benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) has expanded significantly with the advent of minimally invasive surgical therapies (MISTs). Nevertheless, the available evidence in the field is heterogeneous.
The introduction of the "da Vinci S HD Surgical System" marked a significant shift towards robotic surgeries in Japan. However, initial high costs and lack of efficacy data posed barriers to its widespread adoption.
Definitive surgical treatment for prostate cancer continues to evolve with robotic prostatectomy being the preferred technique. This technique has led to decreased blood loss and transfusion rates. Although uncommon, this case report presents a rare incident of delayed inferior epigastric bleed from a port site after a robotic prostatectomy.
To evaluate the differential activity in robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) by urologic surgeon gender.
This was a retrospective study of American Board of Urology surgical case logs from 2012-2022.
To review the latest evidence on the complications of elevated intrarenal pressures (IRPs) in retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) and the strategies to mitigate the increase of IRP during surgery.
A literature search of the PubMed, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar databases was conducted from inception to April 2024.
H-index is an indicator of research productivity considered in faculty promotion. We examine trends in female authorship and effect of student authorship on H-index of principal investigators (PI).
Author gender, degree, designation as student, PI, or other, were recorded from Journal of Endourology from 2011 to 2020.
To analyze the effect of transvesical laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (TVLRP) on sexual function and urinary continence.
The data of 72 patients diagnosed with low-risk and localized prostate cancer, who underwent treatment at our hospital between January 2017 and June 2022, were retrospectively analyzed.
To evaluate the two-year functional and oncological outcomes of Retzius-sparing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (rsRALP) and standard approach (sRALP).
A total of 200 consecutive patients who underwent either sRALP (n = 100) or rsRALP (n = 100) for clinically localized PCa at a single referral European center between 2015 and 2020 were identified from a prospectively cohort, as part of the Belgian Cancer Registry.
