Background Robot assisted kidney transplantation is a technically challenging procedure and there has been limited reporting of its learning curve, mostly by a single surgical working group. The aim of the current study was to perform an independent analysis of learning curve and describe our modifications in technique of robot assisted kidney tran...

Backround: We present our series of free-hand transperineal prostate biopsy using a novel coaxial needle introducer guide. All cases were performed in the office under local anesthesia without sedation. The majority received no prophylactic antibiotics. We retrospectively reviewed the electronic medical records of 242 consecutive free-hand transper...

Background: There are multiple stone types, each forming under different urinary conditions. We compared clinical and metabolic findings in pure stone formers to understand if there are consistent factors that differentiate these groups in terms of underlying etiology and potential for empiric treatment. Materials and Methods: Pure SFs based on inf...

To investigate the efficiency of three advanced lithotripters during the treatment of artificial stones (hard and soft) in an experimental in vitro and in vivo setting. An experimental configuration was created to treat artificial stones, made from BegoStone Plus in a weight ratio of 15:3 or 15:6 powder to water, replicating hard and soft urinary s...

Characterizing patterns of laser activation is important for assessing thermal dose during laser lithotripsy. The objective of this study was twofold: first, to quantify the range of operator duty cycle (ODC) and pedal activation time during clinical laser lithotripsy procedures, and second, to determine thermal dose in an in vitro calyceal model w...

The GreenLightTM MoXy® laser fiber has been used since 2010 for BPH procedures. We tested a novel principle to increase the saline irrigation flow rates beyond the current standard of gravity drip (~22cc/min) to eliminate the likelihood of degradation due to abnormal overheating. The objective was to assess differences between the nominal and activ...

To compare valveless insufflation (Airseal®) with a conventional insufflation system (CIS) during robotic prostatectomy and the ability to use ultralow pneumoperitoneum at 6mmHg with each system as well as comparison of physiologic outcomes and pain scores. We conducted a prospective study of 100 patients randomized to Airseal® or CIS during RP. Th...

Objective: To evaluate the safety of irreversible electroporation (IRE) for renal ablation adjacent to the ureter or bowel. Materials and Methods: Six adult pigs each underwent bilateral IRE of the kidney. To simulate adjacence, the left proximal ureter and duodenum were secured onto the left and right kidney capsule, respectively. Two IRE probes w...

Objectives: To report trifecta outcomes of our "off-clamp" partial nephrectomy (PN) patients operated without main renal artery and/or any selective/superselective clamping. Materials and Methods: Between April 2008 and March 2020, 52 patients received "off-clamp" robot-assisted partial nephrectomy. Postoperative sixth month estimated glomerular fi...

Conventional cystoscopy plays an important role in detection of bladder cancer; however, it is difficult to differentiate benign and neoplastic lesions based on cystoscopic appearance alone. Advanced microscopic modalities, such as confocal laser endomicroscopy and optical coherence tomography, have been shown to provide critical histopathologic in...
