Multi-institutional review of outcomes of robot-assisted laparoscopic extravesical ureteral reimplantation.
Published in The Journal of urology
Compared to the literature we found a notably lower success rate for robot-assisted laparoscopic extravesical ureteral reimplantation in the hands of 5 fellowship trained, robotically experienced pediatric urologists. More than 10% of patients required at least 1 reoperation for persistent vesicoureteral reflux or a surgical complication. Our exper...
The mutational spectrum of WT1 in male infertility.
...Published in The Journal of urology
Results suggest a role for rare WT1 damaging variants in severe spermatogenic failure in populations of European ancestry. Large multicenter studies are needed to fully assess the contribution of WT1 genetic alterations to male infertility in the absence of other disease phenotypes.

Published in The Journal of urology
The novel technique of the tunneled buccal mucosa tube graft in patients with proximal hypospadias represents a good alternative for a long urethroplasty in patients with a paucity of skin. After the learning curve plateaus the rate and degree of complications decrease. Furthermore, voiding function is adequate, as assessed by uroflow studies and p...

Published in The Journal of urology
Tadalafil 5 mg once daily led to clinically meaningful improvement in approximately two-thirds of men with lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia. More than half of this group of tadalafil treated responders achieved clinically meaningful improvement after 1 week of therapy and more than 70% did so within 4 weeks.

...Published in The Journal of urology
Vesicoureteral reflux management is still controversial. In contrast to recently published studies and guidelines, this meta-analysis supports antibiotic prophylaxis in all children with vesicoureteral reflux regardless of reflux grade. More studies are needed to support this finding.
