Urolithiasis is a common disease around the world and its incidence has been growing every year. There are various diagnosis techniques based on kidney stone identification aiming to find the formation cause.
Holmium laser has been established asthe gold-standard for the ureteroscopic management of urinary stone disease. However the role of laser inpercutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) varies, as multiple energy sources and lithotripters are available.
There are currently various fixation or suspension techniques for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery. Laparoscopic colposacropexy is considered the gold standard. We present the surgical steps of the laparoscopic latero-abdominal colposuspension (LACS) technique and the preliminary results obtained.
To compare the perioperative and pathological outcomes between robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP) and LRP based on the patient’s risk. The medical records of 588 patients with prostate cancer who underwent RP, using minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques (240 LRP and 348 RALRP) by a single surgeon during January 2008 to June 2018 at the […]
Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) has become the standard of surgical care in the USA and around the world. Over the past 18 years, we have performed 13,000 radical prostatectomies, and our surgical technique has evolved over time.
Reliable biomarkers for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) have yet to be found. Plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has been clinically applied as a minimally invasive blood biomarker for various types of cancer.
It remains unclear which patients with metastatic germ cell tumours (mGCTs) need prophylactic anticoagulation to prevent venous thromboembolic events (VTEs). To assess the risk and onset of VTEs stratified by risk factors.
As one of the 10 most common cancers in men, the incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has been increasing in recent years. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common pathological type of RCC, counting for 80%-90% of cases.
Clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma (CCPRCC) shares histomorphologic and immunophenotypic features with clear cell RCC (CCRCC) and papillary RCC (PRCC). We compared the cytomorphology, immunoprofile, and clinical management of CCPRCC (n = 18), CCRCC (n = 20), and PRCC (n = 18).
TFE3 (transcription factor binding to IGHM enhancer 3) nuclear translocation and transcriptional activity has been implicated in PINK1-PRKN/parkin-dependent mitophagy. However, the transcriptional control governing the mitophagy in TFE3/Xp11.
