Placement of a mid-urethral sling is the gold standard in the surgical management of stress urinary incontinence in women in France. The cure rate of this material is no longer to be demonstrated, but the per- and post-operative complications are currently the subject of a growing controversy not only in Europe but also across the Channel and across the Atlantic, having led to the modification of operative indications.

To examine time-to-event data for 19 common postoperative complications within 30 days following radical cystectomy (RC).

Patients undergoing RC were identified within the ACS-NSQIP database (2005-2011).

The role of anatomical factors in predicting outcomes after radical prostatectomy (RP) remains unclear. This review aims to evaluate the impact of various anatomical factors on the perioperative outcomes of patients undergoing RP for localized prostate cancer (PCa).

To evaluate the mid-range subjective and objective success rate of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy.

Of the 317 women with pelvic organ prolapse who underwent laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy surgery at the same center between January 2013 and March 2015, we assessed 233 patients who were followed up for >3 years.

Partial nephrectomy (PN) is the primary surgical method for renal tumor treatment, typically involving clamping the renal artery during tumor removal, leading to warm ischemia and potential renal function impairment.

To compare surgical complications for patients having minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy (MISCP) with concomitant incontinence procedure, to those having MISCP alone.

Patients undergoing MISCP with and without a concomitant incontinence procedure between 2006 and 2015 were identified in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database using Current Procedural Terminology codes.

Today, there are few indications for the use of bowel in pediatric urology. This is in large extent due to the successful conservative therapy in patients with neurogenic bladder and the improved success of primary reconstruction in patients with the bladder exstrophy-epispadias complex.

Bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) is common in older adults. Many older adults who pursue surgery have additional vulnerabilities affecting surgical risk, including frailty. A clinical tool that builds on frailty to predict surgical outcomes for the spectrum of BOO procedures would be helpful to aid in surgical decision-making but does not currently exist.

Transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) is a pivotal procedure in the management of bladder cancer, essential for both diagnosis and treatment. Effective anesthesia is crucial in TURBT to ensure a stable and pain-free operative field, facilitate precise tumor resection, and minimize complications such as the obturator reflex, which can lead to involuntary leg movement and bladder injury.

To examine the association between CT measures of visceral obesity and short-term postoperative outcomes in renal clear cell carcinoma (RCCC) patients.

In this retrospective study, 76 patients treated with unilateral laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for stage I-III renal cancer were classified as obese or non-obese by preoperative CT-based measures of adiposity [obese: visceral fat area (VFA) > 100 cm2, BMI ≥ 28 kg/m2].

Management of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) is highly individualized and often involves cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN) and systemic therapy (ST). The optimal sequencing of CN and ST is uncertain.

To analyze postoperative, in-hospital, complication rates in patients with organ transplantation before radical prostatectomy (RP).

From National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database (2000-2015) prostate cancer patients treated with RP were abstracted and stratified according to prior organ transplant versus nontransplant.

The midurethral sling (MUS) has largely been regarded as the "gold standard" in treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Recently the safety and use of the MUS has come under scrutiny following concerns about the use of mesh implants.

There is a growing interest in combined pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and rectal prolapse (RP) surgery for concomitant pelvic floor prolapse despite a paucity of data regarding complications and clinical outcomes of combined repair.

To report a series of 1,000 patients treated by a single surgeon using robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) and to show how to prevent and manage complications of the procedure.

To analyse surgical, functional, and mid-term oncological outcomes of robot-assisted nephroureterectomy (RANU) in a contemporary large multi-institutional setting.

Data were retrieved from the ROBotic surgery for Upper tract Urothelial cancer STtudy (ROBUUST) 2.

The Covid-19 pandemic is changing the organization of healthcare and has a direct impact on digestive surgery. Healthcare priorities and circuits are being modified. Emergency surgery is still a priority.

Injuries to surrounding structures during radical prostatectomy (RP) are rare but serious complications. However, it remains unknown if injuries to intestines, rectum, or vascular structures occur at different rates depending on the surgical approach.

Transurethral resection of the bladder tumour (TURBT) is one the most common urological procedures. It is also one the fundamental surgeries performed by residents. The learning curve (LC) for TUR has never been analysed.

There are limited data on toxicity and surgical safety associated with neoadjuvant programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors prior to radical cystectomy (RC) in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC).

Surgeries for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) are commonly performed in older adults, many of whom are also frail. A surgical risk calculator for older adults undergoing POP/SUI surgeries that incorporates frailty, a factor known to increase the risk of surgical complications, would be helpful for preoperative counseling but currently does not exist.
