This study aimed to evaluate the effects of bladder cuff method on oncological outcomes in patients who underwent radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) for upper tract urothelial carcinoma. The records of 1,095 patients treated with RNU performed at our hospital between 1994 and 2018 were retrospectively reviewed; 856 patients with no bladder tumor history were enrolled in […]

In this article, we describe the survival of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), initially managed with surgical removal of metastasis or metastasectomy (MxT). Over a period of time ranging from 1989 to 2015, patients presenting with metastasis thought to be amenable to complete resection and no evidence of disease (NED) status, fit enough […]

By all accounts outside of our world of prostate cancer, 2020 was a pretty bad year. That much has been decided and agreed upon by just about everyone in the world. With that said, 2020 was not a horrible year in the progress against prostate cancer. Several new developments arose and progressed in the past […]

Radical cystectomy (RC) with bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection is the standard of care for muscle-invasive urothelial bladder cancer (UBC), and very-high-risk and recurrent non–muscle-invasive UBC. However, RC is associated with a high rate of perioperative complications and a non-negligible mortality rate. Cigarette smoking is the strongest modifiable risk factor for the development and prognosis […]

Exposure to radiation is known to have adverse effects such as secondary malignancies. Patients with nephrolithiasis are exposed to radiation in the workup and treatment of their condition. Furthermore, exposure to radiation is often repeated due to the high recurrence rate of nephrolithiasis.

Urinary biomarkers such as neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and N-acetyl-B-D-glucosamindase (NAG) are recognised as being useful for the detection of kidney tubular damage but their role in the diagnosis and prognosis of kidney stone disease (KSD) is still unknown.

Laparoscopic sacral colpopexy (LSC) is the gold standard treatment for apical pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) has a high success rate in treating recurrent stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

Although artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) has become an established treatment for moderate to severe stress urinary incontinence (SUI), implantation can be challenging. This study aimed to review the outcomes of laparoscopic AUS (LAUS) implantation and revision in women presenting with SUI.
