Induced hypothermia does not preserve kidney function during partial nephrectomy

08 May 2021

While surgeons usually induce renal hypothermia during partial nephrectomy, recent evidence from a randomized controlled trial (RCT) suggests that such approach does not preserve kidney function in patients with normal or mildly impaired renal function.

Automated performance metrics may predict outcomes during robotic partial nephrectomy

06 May 2021

A recent study has shown that expert surgeons are more efficient and focused in their movement during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy. In addition, automated performance metrics during key steps are associated with objective measures of tumour complexity and may predict clinical outcomes.

Blood glucose, HbA1c not linked to infection rates after penile prosthesis implantation

30 Apr 2021

Blood glucose and haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels before penile prosthesis (PP) placement do not seem to influence the risk of postoperative infection, revision, or explantation among diabetic men, a recent study has found.
