Changes in the UK renal oncologic surgical practice from 2008 to 2017: implications on cancer service provision and surgical training

Abstract Objective To improve endoscopic recognition of the most frequently encountered kidney stone morphologies for a better etiological approach in lithiasis by urologists. Materials and methods An expert urologist intra‐operatively and prospectively (between June 2015 and June 2018) examined the surface, the section and the nucleus of all encountered kidney stones. Fragmented stones were subsequently […]

Round ligament suspending treatment in orthotopic ileal‐neobladder after radical cystectomy in women: A single centre prospective randomized trial

Abstract Objectives To compare the occurrence of emptying dysfunction between surgical techniques for orthotopic neobladder suspended with round ligament (rONB) and the standard procedure (sONB). Subjects and Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial was performed in a single center in female patients undergoing creation of an orthotopic neobladder using rONB or sONB. Patients were followed […]

Stress urinary incontinence in the mesh complication era: current Australian trends

Abstract Objectives To examine available data relating to the surgical management of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in Australia before, during and after a well‐publicised Senate Inquiry into transvaginal mesh use and consider outcomes in the context of global guideline changes. Patients and Methods The annual number of surgical procedures for the management of stress urinary […]

Pyeloureteral magnetic anastomosis (PUMA) device to simplify laparoscopic pyeloplasty: a proof of concept study

Abstract Laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) is a standard, but demanding operation. According to the European Association of Urology guidelines this procedure scores 13 out of 18 on the difficulty scale [1]. Articulating instruments, 3D video systems and robots may facilitate complex suturing of the ureteropelvic anastomosis at higher costs [2,3]. Magnetic compression anastomosis (magnamosis) has been […]

Estimating the Health‐Related Quality of Life of Kidney Stone Patients: Initial Results from the Wisconsin Stone Quality of Life Machine Learning Algorithm (WISQOL‐MLA)

Abstract Objective To build the Wisconsin Quality of Life Machine Learning Algorithm (WISQOL‐MLA) to predict urolithiasis patients’ health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) based on demographic, symptomatic, and clinical data collected for the validation of the WISQOL, an HRQOL measurement tool designed specifically for kidney stone patients. Material and Methods We used data from 3206 stone […]

Prostate Cancer Grading, Time To Go Back To the Future

Objective To investigate association of preoperative C‐reactive protein (CRP) and non‐cancer mortality (NCM) in a cohort of patients undergoing surgery for localised renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Patients and Methods Retrospective multicentre analysis of patients surgically treated for clinical Stage 1–2 RCC from 2006 to 2017, excluding all cases of cancer‐specific mortality. Descriptive analyses were obtained […]

The Obesity Paradox: Defining the impact of Body Mass Index and Diabetes Mellitus for patients with Non‐Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer Treated with Bacillus Calmette–Guérin

Abstract Objectives To evaluate if the obesity‐paradox ‐ wherein obesity portends worse overall prognosis for a disease but improved outcomes for patients receiving immunotherapy ‐ exists for patients receiving Bacillus‐Calmette Guerin (BCG) in a contemporary cohort. Subjects and Methods We performed an IRB approved database review to identify patients with NMIBC completing at least an […]

Conspicuity of cribriform prostate cancer on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging: the jury is still out

Abstract Cribriform, from the Latin for ‘sieve‐like,’ describes an aggressive prostate cancer pattern associated with poor prognosis, including biochemical recurrence after prostatectomy [1]. Following progressive integration of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) into risk stratification for suspected prostate cancer, there has been understandable concern that particular morphologies (including, intraductal, mucinous and cribriform) may have reduced […]

Management of patients who opt for radical prostatectomy during the COVID‐19 pandemic: An International Accelerated Consensus Statement

Abstract Cribriform, from the Latin for ‘sieve‐like,’ describes an aggressive prostate cancer pattern associated with poor prognosis, including biochemical recurrence after prostatectomy [1]. Following progressive integration of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) into risk stratification for suspected prostate cancer, there has been understandable concern that particular morphologies (including, intraductal, mucinous and cribriform) may have reduced […]
