To develop a standardized scoring system, the BPH surgical scoring (BPHSS) system, to quantify the ability to predict the perioperative outcomes resulting from an enlarged prostate. There are two parts included in this study: the retrospective observational study (875 patients treated with holmium laser enucleation of the prostate, HoLEP) and the prospective observational study (111 patient underwent HoLEP).

The comparative effectiveness of robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) versus open radical cystectomy (ORC) in terms of perioperative outcomes is still a matter of debate affecting payors, physicians, and patients.

OBJECTIVE - To investigate the modified frailty index (mFI) as a preoperative predictor of postoperative complications following radical cystectomy (RC) in patients with bladder cancer.

MATERIALS AND METHODS - Patients undergoing RC were identified from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program participant use files (2011-2013).

Radical prostatectomy (RP) represents one standard of care for patients with localized prostate cancer and is associated with several established postoperative complications.

We tested the relationship between RP early postoperative outcomes and age within a population-based data repository.

A considerable number of individuals with prostate cancer (PCa) still harbor locally-advanced and metastatic disease. Although such men were initially not considered eligible for local treatment, the role of radical prostatectomy (RP) has been recently reassessed.

Radical cystectomy and regional lymph node dissection is the standard treatment for localized muscle-invasive and for high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, and represents one of the main surgical urologic procedures.

Although robot assistance can facilitate the advantages of minimally invasive surgery, it is unclear whether it offers benefits in settings in which laparoscopic surgery has been established as the standard of care.

Nephrometry systems provide important information for treatment planning, patient counseling and comparison between different partial nephrectomy (PN) series. RENAL and PADUA classification are the most popular and widely used nephrometry systems.
