To test whether radical prostatectomy might result in better survival than external beam radiation therapy in metastatic prostate cancer patients. Newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer patients with M1a/b substages, treated with radical prostatectomy or external beam radiation therapy were abstracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database (2004-2016).

To summarize the available evidence on the survival and pathologic outcomes after deferred radical prostatectomy (RP) in men with intermediate- and high-risk prostate cancer (PCa). The PubMed database and Web of Science were searched in November 2020 according to the PRISMA statement.

Our primary objective is to detail the incidence, site, and timing of pSCC recurrence after ILND. Retrospective analysis of 551 patients who underwent ILND for pSCC, from 2000 to 2017. The primary outcome was pSCC recurrence after ILND.

Presently, major guidelines do not provide specific recommendations on oncologic surveillance for patients who harbor VH BCa at radical cystectomy. We aimed to create a personalized follow-up scheme that dynamically weighs OCM versus the risk of recurrence for VH BCa, and to compare it with a similar one for pUC.

Standard treatment for high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer is transurethral resection of bladder tumour followed by intravesical BCG immunotherapy. However, despite high initial responses rates, up to 50% of patients have recurrence or become BCG-unresponsive.

Three or four cycles of cisplatin-based chemotherapy is the standard neoadjuvant treatment prior to cystectomy in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Although NCCN guidelines recommend 4 cycles of cisplatin-gemcitabine, three cycles are also commonly administered in clinical practice.

Performing one-stage urethroplasty in patients with urethral strictures caused by lichen sclerosis (LS) is hotly debated among reconstructive urologists due to conflicting reports of success. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the pooled incidence of stricture recurrence following one-stage buccal mucosal graft (BMG) urethroplasty in LS patients, to determine the impact of […]

To assess our results of surgical treatment for urethral strictures in transgender men, and to provide a surgical treatment algorithm. A single center, retrospective cohort study was conducted with transgender men who underwent surgical correction of their urethral stricture(s) between January 2013 and March 2020.

To report the early experience of a modified technique of robot-assisted artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation in female, with a posterior approach to the bladder neck and intraoperative real-time cystoscopic monitoring.

Methods to increase surgical preparedness in urogynecology are lacking. Our objective was to evaluate the impact of a preoperative provider-initiated telehealth call on surgical preparedness. This was a multicenter randomized controlled trial.
