Highlights • Patients undergoing partial nephrectomy with multiple comorbidities face a higher risk of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI). • The risk of AKI escalates with increased warm ischemia time,…
Highlights • It is difficult to distinguish fp-AML and hm-ccRCC using conventional imaging methods. • Whole-tumor histogram analysis can serve as a powerful mean to distinguish fp-AML and hm-ccRCC. •…
Highlights • Nephron-sparing surgeries after response to immunotherapy are feasible. • These surgeries offer prolonged remissions and good functional results. • These surgeries can be performed with limited morbidity. •…
Highlights • pTA-treated mRCC patients were compared to patients who underwent NLT and CN. • pTA was associated with significantly lower mortality compared to NLT. • OM between pTA and…
Highlights • Detrusor muscle sampling rates are significantly higher in patients undergoing immediate second resection than standard TURBT (97% vs. 66%). • There is a high rate of recurrence in…
Highlights • Increasing cumulative smoking exposure is associated with worse oncologic and overall survival outcomes. • For moderate to heavy smokers, cessation did not appear to improve survival outcomes. •…
Abstract Aims The aim of the study was to analyze the cut-off value for the percentage of the high-grade (HG) component that has clinical significance in urothelial carcinoma (UC). Material…
Highlights • Tumor location at TURBT predicts ipsilateral lymph node metastases. • Right-sided tumors show more positive ipsilateral lymph nodes. • Left-sided tumors also predict increased ipsilateral node positivity. •…
