Perioperative Outcomes Articles

The objective of this study was to evaluate the early surgical outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for small renal masses in a large Japanese multicenter series.

A total of 804 consecutive cases of RAPN were examined at 42 institutes between 2011 and 2016.

Current trials are investigating radical intervention in men with metastatic prostate cancer. However, there is a lack of safety data for radical prostatectomy as therapy in this setting.

To examine perioperative outcomes and short-term complications after radical prostatectomy for locally resectable, distant metastatic prostate cancer.

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.

To report perioperative outcomes in robot assisted radical cystectomy and laparoscopic radical cystectomy.

From January 2010 and July 2019, 298 patients with bladder cancer underwent RARC (n = 172) and LRC (n = 126) at our institution were enrolled in the retrospective study.

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.

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 Ramathibodi Hospital, were retrospectively reviewed.

No data are available on the surgical safety of radical cystectomy (RC) and pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) after the administration of checkpoint inhibitors. We aimed at reporting the first prospective rigorous assessment of perioperative outcomes after RC and extended PLND following neoadjuvant pembrolizumab in a contemporary cohort of patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) enrolled in the PURE-01 trial.

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.

Evidence on the learning curve for robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD) is limited.

To assess the effect of surgical experience (SE) on perioperative and intermediate-term oncological outcomes in a large contemporary cohort of RARC patients after accounting for the impact of intersurgeon variability.

The rate of postoperative complications might vary according to the method used to collect perioperative data. We aimed at assessing the impact of the prospective implementation of the European Association of Urology (EAU) guidelines on reporting and grading of complications in prostate cancer patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).

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.
