Data evaluating risk factors for urinary incontinence (UI) and quality of life (QoL) after robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy are scarce. The objective of our study was to explore the impact of age and body mass index (BMI) on postoperative incontinence, and the impact of such incontinence and urinary symptoms on QoL.

In the past, research has shown that a higher body mass index (BMI) is one of the variables that increase the likelihood of kidney stones; however, no studies have found a connection between the two in the type II diabetic population.

We evaluated whether placement of a retropubic urethral sling fashioned from autologous vas deferens during robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) improved recovery of continence.

In a phase-2, single-blinded trial, age-stratified patients were randomized to undergo RARP by multiple surgeons with or without sling placement.

Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) remains the most commonly used measure for treating localized renal cell cancer (RCC) with an increasing incidence of RCC ever since the 1990s. This study aimed to identify risk factors that affect the postoperative time of drainage and total drainage volume after LPN.

To investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and obesity-related cancers in men and women with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Observational cohort study.

Primary care.

A total of 52 044 patients with T2D who participated in the ZODIAC (Zwolle Outpatient Diabetes project Integrating Available Care) study between 1998 and 2012 was included (49% women).

Elevated body mass index (BMI) is a well-known risk factor for perioperative complications in adults, but has not been investigated in children undergoing urologic procedures. Given the low rate of complications associated with urologic surgery, a large sample is required for their characterization, but BMI is frequently not available in administrative databases.

Obesity is one of the major risk factors of cancer. However, how body mass index (BMI) influences the prognosis of renal cell cancer (RCC) patient is unclear. In this work, we have performed a meta-analysis to elucidate the role of abnormal weight in RCC mortality and postoperative survival.

Due to more difficult intraoperative courses, elevated rates of case abortion and unfavored postoperative outcomes in obese patients, urologists tend to consider other therapeutic modalities than prostate removal in very obese patients.

Adiposity has been associated with elevated risk of urinary incontinence in epidemiological studies, however, the strength of the association has differed between studies.

To conduct a systematic literature review and dose-response meta-analysis of prospective studies on adiposity and risk of urinary incontinence.

We assessed the correlation between BMI and Gleason score in prostate biopsies in Chinese Population. In this retrospective study, we collected the Gleason score, PSA, BMI, age, race, and other related clinical data on 290 patients who had undergone prostatic biopsy.

Prostate cancer screening algorithms and preoperative nomograms do not include patients' body mass index (BMI). We evaluated outcomes at radical prostatectomy (RP) adjusted to BMI.

Current studies report mixed results in health status and health behaviors after a diagnosis of cancer. The aim of our study is to investigate potential differences in lifestyle factors among cancer survivors and cancer-free individuals in a prospective cohort study conducted in the United States.

We and others have previously shown that testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) results in sustained weight loss in the majority of middle-aged hypogonadal men. Previously, however, a small proportion failed to lose at least 5% of their baseline weight.

The aim of this study was to identify the clinical features of patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and investigate the impact of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment on nocturnal urine volume.

Urinary incontinence symptoms severely affect older people with different body mass index (BMI).To compare the efficacy of the pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) in patients with post-prostatectomy incontinence with different BMI.

We evaluated the effect of the year of surgery on the clinical, pathologic, and oncologic outcomes of patients with bladder cancer (BCa) treated with radical cystectomy (RC) at a single institution.

To assess the impact of lifetime obesity on the development of urinary incontinence (UI).

Using data from the Women's Health Initiative (WHI), we evaluated the cumulative impact of obesity over a postmenopausal woman's lifetime on the development of UI.

The association between obesity and aggressive forms of prostate cancer is controversial. We compared preoperative body mass index (BMI) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels as predictive risk factors for increased prostate weight and disease aggressiveness.

Epidemiological studies show an association of increased BMI with increased risk of kidney stone formation in adults. We conducted a population-based pediatric study to examine the epidemiology of nephrolithiasis in the Israeli pediatric population during a 30-year period, and to examine BMI distribution during the same period.

Previous studies indicate a possible inverse relationship between prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and body mass index (BMI), and a positive relationship between PSA and age. We investigated the associations between age, BMI, PSA, and screen-detected prostate cancer to determine whether an age-BMI-adjusted PSA model would be clinically useful for detecting prostate cancer.

Kidney stones are a source of significant morbidity and have been shown to negatively impact health-related quality of life (HRQoL). We aimed to understand the association between HRQoL, socioeconomic status (SES), and race among patients with kidney stones.

Renal cell cancer (RCC) is the major type of kidney cancer with increasing incidence. Obesity is one of the well-established risk factors for RCC. Meta-analyses including multiple cohort and case-control studies have found a consistent positive association between obesity and RCC.

The worldwide prevalence of obesity is increasing among both sexes, with associated impacts on chronic health and medical comorbidities. Similarly, the effects of obesity on reproductive health are increasingly being recognized.

Obese patients may be predisposed to adverse perioperative outcomes and it is uncertain whether robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) benefits obese patients in comparison to open radical cystectomy (ORC).

Obesity might negatively affect prostate cancer (PCa) outcomes. However, evidence according to the associations between obesity and metastases-free survival after radical prostatectomy (RP) is still inconsistent.

Aim: To investigate if overweight and obesity were associated with a higher degree of biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy, in Mexican men with prostate cancer (PCa).Methods: We included 180 men with PCa, who underwent radical prostatectomy (RP).

This systematic review investigated the effect of paternal obesity on reproductive potential. Databases searched were Pubmed, Ovid, Web of Science, Scopus, Cinahl and Embase. Papers were critically appraised by two reviewers, and data were extracted using a standardized tool.

To determine the efficacy and predictive factors for the success of Er:YAG laser treatment in patients with urinary incontinence (UI).

Eighty-two patients with UI were treated by Er:YAG laser in this cohort study.

To assess the postoperative status of clinically localized prostate cancer patients who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) with a focus on de novo overactive bladder (OAB).

The present study included 156 patients who did not have preoperative OAB and underwent RARP between December 2015 and April 2020 at our institution.

Incontinence and urgency are common after prostatectomy. The University of Virginia prostatectomy functional outcomes program (PFOP) was developed to comprehensively assess and optimise continence outcomes following robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP).

Leptin and its receptor (LEPR) are key players in the regulation of energy balance and body weight control and act as a growth factor for specific organs in both normal and disease states. However, LEPR accumulation may be involved in carcinogenesis, progression, and metastasis in many cancers.

OBJECTIVE - To test PSA mass density (PSAMD) as a predictor of total tumor volume (TTV) at radical prostatectomy (RP).

METHODS - We conducted a detailed pathologic analysis of 469 RP from men with NCCN low risk prostate cancer who had Gleason score 3+3=6 (Grading group 1) at RP.

Low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy has been established as an effective and safe treatment option for men with low and intermediate risk prostate cancer. In this retrospective analysis, we sought to study the effect of body mass index (BMI) on post-implant dosimetric quality.

In the developed and developing countries, the overall prevalence of central obesity in the elderly men is growing. In addition, the progressive aging of male population increased the possibilities of coexisting morbidities associated with obesity such as lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) or to prostate cancer (PCa) needing primary treatment, including radical prostatectomy (RP), which can further adversely affect the quality of life.
