– ARV-471 demonstrates evidence of anti-tumor activity, and potential for best-in-class safety, and estrogen receptor (ER) degradation profile and robust efficacy signals in a heavily pretreated patient population – – Initiation of a combination trial of ARV-471 and Ibrance® (palbociclib) expected this month; three additional trials of ARV-471 in patients with breast cancer expected to […]

The patient enrolment deadline of the Global Prevalence Study of Infections in Urology (GPIU) is extended to 31 January 2021. Qualified urologists and urology departments collaborating with microbiologists and infectious disease specialists are encouraged to join. A department can choose any Wednesday as a single study day within the period of 16 December 2020 and […]

Many major guidelines across the globe address the medical and surgical management of urolithiasis. We elected to compare and contrast the recommendations among the five most highly-cited guidelines on stone disease to offer insights on where evidence has created a consensus and where there remains ongoing controversy and hence a need for the pursuit of […]

Calculous pyonephrosis tended not to be accurately diagnosed before operations. It is mostly confirmed during percutaneous nephrolithotripsy or percutaneous nephrostomy. We aimed to evaluate the risk factors for predicting obstructive pyonephrosis patients with upper urinary tract stones.

Repeating endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with recurrent common bile duct (CBD) stones is problematic in many ways. Choledochoduodenostomy (CDS) and choledochojejunostomy (CJS) are 2 surgical treatment options for recurrent CBD stones, and each has different advantages and disadvantages.

To compare the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of patients with residual fragments after surgical intervention for kidney stones to patients that are stone-free using the disease-specific WISQOL questionnaire.

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the development of telemedicine due to confinement measures. However, the percentage of outpatient urological cases that could be managed completely by telemedicine outside of the COVID-19 pandemic remains to be determined.

To investigate the outcomes and feasibilities of gasless laparoendoscopic single-port clampless sutureless partial nephrectomy. We reviewed 356 consecutive patients with primary unilateral non-metastatic renal masses who underwent gasless laparoendoscopic single-port partial nephrectomy (2011-2018), which was performed retroperitoneally using a three-dimensional flexible endoscope, without vascular clamping or renorrhaphy in principle.

To evaluate an effectiveness of simultaneous laparoscopic procedures in patients with synchronous multiple primary cancer (SMPC). We observed 3 patients (2 men and 1 woman) aged 61-78 years with synchronous multiple primary gastric and kidney cancer.

Minimally invasive surgery includes traditional laparoscopic and robot-assisted surgery. Although many studies related to robotic surgery and laparoscopic surgery have been published, when doing our search, scientometric studies that focus on related robotic surgery versus laparoscopic surgery were limited.
