Partial prostatectomy, encompassing various techniques, demonstrates promising short-term outcomes in tumor control and functional preservation. Preoperative imaging and biopsy aid in candidate select...
Partial prostatectomy offers a minimally invasive and effective treatment option for localized prostate cancer, particularly in selected patients. Preoperative imaging and biopsy play crucial roles in...
Partial prostatectomy is explored for localized prostate cancer treatment, aiming to balance cancer control with preserving function. Short-term outcomes are promising, but long-term data on recurrenc...
According to the guidelines of the European Association of Urology, open simple prostatectomy should be offered to men with a prostate size exceeding 80 mL suffering from moderate to severe LUTS in th...
The patients were identified by a search for the respective procedure codes. In the OSP group enucleation of the adenoma was performed through the prostatic capsule (Millin procedure), while access to...
27 patients who underwent OSP were retrospectively identified and compared to the first 26 patients who were subjected to RASP. The groups were similar with respect to age, body mass index and ASA sco...
The introduction of robotic assisted simple prostatectomy reduced perioperative morbidity at our department....
Against the background of a continuous improvement of established treatment outcomes and the compatibility of health economic considerations, pre- and perioperative processes are constantly being deve...
Radical prostatectomy (RP) has been considered primary treatment for localized prostate cancer. Biochemical recurrence (BCR) occur approximately 20-30% in five year after RP. We aim to develop a novel...
This retrospective cohort study included 370 localized and regional prostate cancer patients who underwent laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) in Songklanagarind hospital between January 2010 and...
For primary Songklanagarind cohort, BCR was found in 105 patients (44.7%). Overall 1-year BCR-free survival was 52.8%, and 5-year BCR-free survival was 45.7% with median time to BCR of 18.1 months. Mu...
Prostate cancer patients with unfavorable factors, including high initial PSA (> 20), ISUP Gleason grade group > = 3, positive margin and extra-prostatic tumor extension are considered high risks and ...
Precision Prostatectomy (PP) is a viable treatment option for men with unilateral dominant cancer who are interested in preserving functional outcomes. To date, the data published about the outcomes o...
Between 2022 and 2023, PP was offered to select patients who were interested in preserving their functional status. Men who underwent PP were followed at 3 monthly intervals; information regarding the...
The median age and median PSA of the study group was 63 years and 6.89 ng/ml respectively. The median operative and console times were 196.5 and 154 minutes. No intra-operative complications were note...
PP is a safe and reproducible technique that can ensure cancer control and preservation of functional status in select patients. Further studies with large sample sizes and longer follow-up are requir...
Stratifying patients with biochemical recurrence (BCR) after primary treatment for prostate cancer based on the risk of prostate cancer-specific mortality (PCSM) is essential for determining the need ...
To evaluate the association of BCR after radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy and its current risk stratification with PCSM....
This population-based cohort study included a total of 16 311 male patients with 10 364 (64%) undergoing radical prostatectomy and 5947 (36%) undergoing radiotherapy with curative intent (cT1-3, cM0) ...
Primary outcomes of the study were the cumulative incidence of BCR and PCSM. Patients with BCR were stratified in low- and high-risk according to European Association of Urology (EAU) criteria....
Radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy....
A total of 16 311 patients were included. Median (IQR) age was 64 (59-68) years in the radical prostatectomy cohort (10 364 patients) and 69 (64-73) years in the radiotherapy cohort (5947 patients). M...
These findings suggest the validity of EAU-BCR stratification system. However, while the risk of dying from prostate cancer in low-risk EAU-BCR after radical prostatectomy was very low, patients who d...
One of the most frequent side effects of radical prostatectomy (RP) is urinary incontinence. The primary cause of urine incontinence is usually thought to be impaired urethral sphincter function; neve...
We retrospectively screened patients who underwent radical prostatectomy between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2023 at the First People 's Hospital of Nantong, China. According to nomogram results,...
The study involved 142 patients in all. Multivariate logistic regression analysis following RP found seven independent risk variables for early urinary incontinence. A nomogram was constructed based o...
The nomogram model created in this study can offer a clear, personalised analysis of the risk of early urine incontinence following RP. It is highly discriminatory and accurate, and it can help create...
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a well-known adverse outcome following robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). Although postoperative SUI has been extensively studied, little focus ha...
