To compare the accuracy of open-source Artificial Intelligence (AI) Large Language Models (LLM) against human authors to generate a systematic review (SR) on the new pulsed-Thulium:YAG (p-Tm:YAG) laser.
Flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheaths (FANS) have been introduced without current evidence on how to optimize deflection. Aim was to evaluate in vitro deflection angles with 2 different FANS techniques-sheath advancement and ureteroscope deflection; and effects of sheath size-ureteroscope combinations.
To assess and compare the use of same-day discharge (SDD) for robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) between the "Pre-pandemic" and "Pandemic" periods and investigate SDD impact on mortality and readmissions.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the real-world safety profile of medical devices used in focal prostate cancer treatment utilizing the Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) database.
The primary objective of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on patients suffering from comorbid erectile dysfunction (ED) and chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome(CP/CPPS).
Over the past decade, the range of surgical options to benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) has expanded significantly with the advent of minimally invasive surgical therapies (MISTs). Nevertheless, the available evidence in the field is heterogeneous.
The introduction of the "da Vinci S HD Surgical System" marked a significant shift towards robotic surgeries in Japan. However, initial high costs and lack of efficacy data posed barriers to its widespread adoption.
Definitive surgical treatment for prostate cancer continues to evolve with robotic prostatectomy being the preferred technique. This technique has led to decreased blood loss and transfusion rates. Although uncommon, this case report presents a rare incident of delayed inferior epigastric bleed from a port site after a robotic prostatectomy.
To evaluate the differential activity in robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) by urologic surgeon gender.
This was a retrospective study of American Board of Urology surgical case logs from 2012-2022.
To review the latest evidence on the complications of elevated intrarenal pressures (IRPs) in retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) and the strategies to mitigate the increase of IRP during surgery.
A literature search of the PubMed, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar databases was conducted from inception to April 2024.
