to improve the results of radical cystectomy by optimization of patient preparation for surgery and early postoperative care.

A total of 136 patients who underwent radical cystectomy and either orthotopic ileal neobladder or ileal conduit formation were included in the study.

Adolescents are considered to be at high risk of developing complications after lower genitourinary tract reconstruction. This perception may be due to base rate bias, where clinicians favor specific information (adolescents with complications), while ignoring more general information (number of total adolescents being followed).

To evaluate whether the sling position is associated with particular types of complications in patients undergoing suburethral sling placement for stress urinary incontinence.

Data from 100 women diagnosed at the Evangelical Hospital Hagen-Haspe with complications after suburethral sling insertion were analyzed.

We evaluated short- and long-term renal function in patients after radical cystectomy with urinary diversion and identified risk factors for the deterioration of renal function.

This retrospective study comprised 91 patients who underwent radical cystectomy and urinary diversion for bladder cancer and survived ≥3 years after surgery.

Robot assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) with extensive pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) is an effective procedure for treating and staging prostate cancer; however, high grade complications represent a critical issue.

To assess the frequency and severity of cardiac dysrhythmias and identify any intraoperative or post-operative complications in children undergoing extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL).

ESWL has been used in adults since 1980 but was not used in children until 1986.

Increased incidences of complications related to the use of mid-urethral slings (MUS) for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence resulted in both the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Health Canada issuing advisories in 2008 and 2010 respectively.

To examine predictors of early readmissions following radical cystectomy. Factors associated with preventable readmissions may be most evident in readmissions that occur within 3 days of discharge, commonly termed "bounce-back" readmissions, and identifying such factors may inform efforts to reduce surgical readmissions.

To compare outcomes between Robot assisted video endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy (RA-VEIL) and open inguinal lymph node dissection (OILND) in patients without bulky nodal metastasis in a tandem contemporary cohort.

To compare perioperative outcomes and complications of robot assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with extracorporeal (ECUD) vs. intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD) for bladder cancer.

Prior studies of complications after sling surgery excluded the large number of women in military treatment facilities (MTFs).

To characterize the postoperative complication rates after sling surgery for Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) within MTFs in the United States.

To examine the nature, timing, and risk factors underlying return to the operating room (ROR) following radical cystectomy (RC). ROR has been proposed as a surgical quality metric based on data from the general surgery literature, but ROR has not been comprehensively characterized following RC.

Nutrition is the 3rd most important factor in surgery, following anesthesia and asepsis. Until now, it has been a poorly explored field of urology. The relationship between malnutrition and postoperative complications has been proven beyond doubt in general surgery, where 30% of patients are operated in a malnutrition state.

Prior studies suggest that obese patients are at increased risk for complications following continent catheterizable urinary (CCU) channel surgery. We hypothesized that postoperative weight gain increases the risk of channel angulation, difficulty catheterizing, and possible channel perforation requiring subfascial revision.

BACKGROUND - We evaluated the complications, mortality, hospital length of stay (LOS), and cost for patients with diabetes undergoing radical cystectomy (RC).

MATERIALS AND METHODS - Data were extracted from the National (Nationwide) Inpatient Sample for 2001 to 2012 using the "International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification" codes for patients with uncontrolled diabetes (UD) (patients with diabetes receiving treatment that did not keep the blood glucose at acceptable levels) and controlled diabetes (CD) (patients with diabetes not otherwise stated as uncontrolled) who had undergone RC.

Obesity has been thought to increase the risk of complications and need for additional resources with surgery, but only a limited amount of evidence is available in the pediatric population.

The objectives were to describe the weight status of pediatric and adolescent patients undergoing a continent urinary tract reconstruction and to determine the association between obesity and 30-day postoperative morbidity.

INTRODUCTION - Long-term outcomes of patients treated for invasive bladder cancer in Poland are poorly documented in the literature. Impact of various clinical parameters on their survival is even less well studied.

To evaluate the feasibility and effect of implementing enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC) and urinary diversion.

Since October 2016, a 15-point ERAS protocol has been implemented for patients undergoing elective RC and urinary diversion at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center (FUSCC).

No procedure-specific definitions in complication reporting have been universally accepted in urological surgery, and conventional classification systems do not reflect cumulative morbidity.

To conduct a rigorous assessment of 30-d complications after radical cystectomy and improve morbidity estimates by introducing the novel Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI).

The suburethral sling procedure has been widely used as the first-line treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women. Although the success rate is high, difficult urination and urine retention can occur in a small portion of patients.

Patients with bladder cancer undergoing radical cystectomy (RC) experience high rates of perioperative blood transfusions (PBTs) and morbidity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of blood storage duration on the risk of adverse perioperative outcomes in this high-risk patient population.

To determine the effect of disseminated cancer on peri-operative outcomes following radical nephrectomy.

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing radical nephrectomy for kidney cancer from 2005-2014 using the ACS National Surgical Quality Improvement Program, a multi-institutional prospective registry that captures peri-operative surgical complications.

Preoperative chemotherapy is underused in conjunction with radical cystectomy (RC) for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) due to concerns for complications and delay of surgery. Prospective data on short-term complications from population-based settings with frequent use of preoperative chemotherapy and standardised reporting of complications is lacking.

To evaluate the outcome of adjustable continence balloons in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).

In two tertiary centers, adjustable continence balloons were implanted in 29 patients with post-TURP SUI between 2007 and 2018.

To compare perioperative outcomes and complications of extracorporeal (ECUD) vs intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD) in patients after undergoing robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) at five referral centers in France.

Minimally invasive surgery regarding cystectomy has not had the same development as other urological surgeries. This could be due to the lack of published studies defining the advantages of this approach versus open surgery.

Radical cystectomy (RC) is a challenging procedure with significant morbidity, though remains the standard of care treatment for many patients with bladder cancer. There has been debate regarding the utility of universal risk calculators to aid in point-of-care prediction of complications in individual patients preoperatively.

Nephrectomy due to stone disease may be a challenging procedure owing to the presence of significant inflammation and infection, involving high complication rate. The objective of our study was to identify predictors for complications of nephrectomy for urolithiasis.

Robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) has been shown to be non-inferior to open radical cystectomy (ORC) for the treatment of bladder cancer (BC). However, most data on RARC come from high-volume surgeons at high-volume centers.

We report the perioperative outcomes and complications after transition from extracorporeal urinary diversion (ECUD) to intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD) following robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC).

OBJECTIVE - To compare outcomes after retropubic sling (RPS) in women with and without Valsalva voiding.

METHODS - Women who underwent RPS for stress incontinence from 2010-2014 were identified and their baseline characteristics were examined.

Cystectomy for bladder cancer is associated with a high risk of postoperative complications. Standardized perioperative protocols, such as enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols, aim to improve postoperative outcome.

To evaluate the effect of a smoking-, alcohol- or combined-cessation intervention starting shortly before surgery and lasting 6 weeks on overall complications after radical cystectomy. Secondary objectives are to examine the effect on types and grades of complications, smoking cessation and alcohol cessation, length of hospital stay, health-related quality of life and return to work or habitual level of activity up to 12 months postoperatively.

To present our technique of suprameatal urethrolysis with Martius flap (SMUM) and outcomes of this procedure for refractory female bladder outflow obstruction (BOO).

A retrospective chart review was performed to identify female patients who underwent SMUM between January 2010 and August 2016 after failed transvaginal urethrolysis (TVU) for BOO due to prior stress urinary incontinence (SUI) surgery.

Treatment of locoregionally advanced penile squamous cell carcinoma (LAPSCC) is challenging. The exact role (in terms of oncological benefit) of extensive surgery is not well established. Moreover, surgery invariably leads to large defects requiring reconstructive surgery.

To determine whether surgical approach is a determinant of clinical outcomes following radical cystectomy (RC) and urinary diversion when using an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol.

We studied all patients undergoing both open radical cystectomy (ORC) and robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) and urinary diversion with ERAS for bladder urothelial carcinoma from May 2012 to December 2016.

The absence of a testis occurs for various reasons in children, but testicular prosthesis implantation in children is uncommon. The optimal time for prosthesis placement is still unclear, and its complication rate has been poorly studied in children.

The comparative effectiveness of ureteral stents placed during ureteroscopy for urinary stone disease is widely debated. We sought to evaluate unplanned medical visits within the early post-operative period after ureteroscopy in patients with and without ureteral stent placement.

We previously reported catheterizable channel associated outcomes and concluded that the incidence of postoperative complications was greatest in the first 2 years after surgery. At that time our followup was short.
