World journal of urology · 2026
To report perioperative and short-term outcomes of single-port (SP) robotic vascular-preserving (non-transecting) Y-V flap pyeloplasty with stricturoplasty for ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). The most commonly performed pyeloplasty technique is...
World journal of urology · 2026
Ileal ureter interposition is a well-established option for complex ureteral strictures. While minimally invasive approaches have evolved, the application of the single-port (SP) robotic platform for ileal ureter reconstruction has not been previously...
World journal of urology · 2024
To compare the outcomes of patients undergoing robotic YV plasty for bladder neck contracture (BNC) vs. vesico-urethral anastomotic stricture (VUAS). A retrospective study included male patients who underwent robotic YV plasty for BNC after endoscopic...
The Journal of urology · 2024
Several factors influence recurrence after urethral stricture repair. The impact of socioeconomic factors on stricture recurrence after urethroplasty is poorly understood. This study aims to assess the impact that social deprivation, an area-level measure...
American journal of transplantation : official journal of the American Society of Transplantation and the American Society of Transplant Surgeons · 2023
Ureteral strictures are a common and often challenging complication of renal transplantation. The use of single-port (SP) robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery is a novel approach in the management of these patients. Here we describe 3 patients with...
Urology · 2022
To examine the safety, feasibility and durability of robotic reimplantation of ureteroenteric stricture after radical cystectomy. A retrospective multi-institutional review was performed for all patients undergoing robotic repair of ureteroenteric...
Urology practice · 2016
We compare the costs associated with primary endoscopic realignment vs delayed elective bulbomembranous anastomotic urethroplasty after initial management of pelvic fracture urethral injuries with suprapubic tubes. Decision analysis was performed comparing...
The 5-Minute Urology Consult, 3rd Ed · 2015
BJU international · 2015
To review the guidelines released in the last decade by several organisations for the optimal evaluation and management of genitourinary injuries (renal, ureteric, bladder, urethral and genital). This is a review of the genitourinary trauma guidelines from...
Urology · 2015
To describe the technique of robotic buccal mucosa graft ureteroplasty as a minimally invasive alternative method of ureteral reconstruction for proximal or multifocal ureteral strictures not amenable to primary anastomosis. Between October 2013 and May...
Urology · 2015
To determine variability in urethral stricture surveillance. Urethral strictures impact quality of life and exact a large economic burden. Although urethroplasty is the gold standard for durable treatment, strictures recur in 8%-18%. There are no...
Urology · 2015
To determine a nationwide contemporary description of surgical Fournier gangrene (FG) and necrotizing fasciitis of the genitalia (NFG) outcomes because historically reported mortality rates for FG and NFG are based on small single-institution studies from...
BJU international · 2015
To evaluate the long-term outcomes of robotic-assisted laparoscopic (RAL) upper urinary tract (UUT) reconstruction performed at a tertiary referral centre. Data from 250 consecutive patients undergoing RAL UUT reconstruction, including pyeloplasty with or...
The journal of sexual medicine · 2013
The epidemiology of priapism is not well characterized. A small number of studies based on inpatient data or small population samples have estimated the incidence to range from 0.34 to 1.5 cases per 100,000 males. To estimate the current epidemiology and...
The journal of trauma and acute care surgery · 2013
Penetrating external genital injuries, although uncommon, may present complex problems for the urologic and trauma surgeon. A paucity of data exists on the incidence, clinical characteristics, and management outcomes of these injuries because few...

Journal of endourology · 2009
Specimen morcellation during laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN) for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is controversial. We seek to evaluate the safety and efficacy of specimen morcellation and LRN for treatment of presumed malignant renal lesions. We...
Journal of endourology · 2009
Most series on ureteroscopy for urolithiasis use postoperative plain radiography of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder (KUB) or intravenous urography (IVU) to determine outcomes. These imaging modalities, however, are not very sensitive and may overestimate...

As nephron sparing surgery is used more frequently for select renal tumors, the incidence of urine leaks will likely increase. To our knowledge the risk factors of and management strategies for urine leaks have not been studied. We report our experience...
Journal of endourology · 2008
Iatrogenic occurrences (including radiologically guided renal biopsy, shockwave lithotripsy, and minimally invasive ablative procedures) of subcapsular hematoma that lead to acute renal failure are rare but serious. The advancement of minimally invasive...

Journal of endourology · 2008
Specimen morcellation during laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for renal-cell carcinoma is controversial, and supporting literature remains sparse. We seek to evaluate the safety and efficacy of morcellation for specimen removal after laparoscopic radical...
Journal of endourology · 2008
The usefulness of plain film chest radiography (CXR) in evaluation for thoracic complications after laparoscopic urologic procedures is uncertain. Our objectives were to examine the association between radiographic findings and clinical manifestations of...
Journal of endourology · 2007
Although the use of stents after ureteroscopy has been studied extensively, relatively little has been published about stent placement before complicated ureteroscopic procedures. In this study, we examined our experience with stent placement before...
American journal of transplantation : official journal of the American Society of Transplantation and the American Society of Transplant Surgeons · 2005
Reactivation of latent human cytomegalovirus is of significant concern in immunocompromised transplant patients and is likely to occur through transcriptional activation of immediate early (ie) gene expression through mechanisms that are not well...
