The clinical value of sarcopenia has not been determined yet in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). We retrospectively evaluated data of 70 consecutive patients with mHSPC receiving treatment with either early docetaxel (<i>n</i> = 42) or abiraterone acetate (<i>n</i> = 28) between July 2018 and April 2021. Skeletal muscle index was calculated from cross-sectional areas of skeletal muscle on baseline computed tomography (CT), defining sarcopenia as a skeletal muscle index of ≤5

Purpose: To compare the perioperative outcomes and oncological results of open, laparoscopic, and robotic radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) in patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) and to analyze trends in the utilization of RNU. Methods: From 2017 to 2020, the records of 61, 185, and 119 patients who underwent open, laparoscopic, and robotic RNU, respectively, were reviewed. Results: Baseline characteristics were not significantly different among the three groups. Robotic RNU has

<b><i>Objective:</i></b> To compare the surgical results of retroperitoneal (RP) robot partial nephrectomy (PNx) using either a single-port robot (SP) or a multi-port robot (MP). <b><i>Materials and Methods:</i></b> We retrospectively reviewed all RP robotic PNx performed at a single institution from September 2021-when the SP robot was introduced to the institution-through April 2023. In total, 125 patients underwent the surgery; 81 patients were treated with surgery using a MP robot whereas 44

Elevated inflammatory markers are significantly associated with the presence of kidney stones, particularly in individuals aged 50 years or older. These findings suggest that systemic inflammation plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of nephrolithiasis, especially in the older population. The results imply that inflammation contributes to the increasing prevalence of urinary stones with age, highlighting the importance of managing systemic inflammation in preventing nephrolithiasis. Future r

The SARA technique using the da Vinci SP robotic system is a safe and feasible approach for PN and various retroperitoneal procedures. It allows for minimal invasiveness, low complication rates, and rapid recovery. Further studies are needed to validate these findings and define the learning curve.

To evaluate the performance of ChatGPT-4o in estimating International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS) based on patients’ natural language descriptions and full outpatient records, compared to actual questionnaire scores. This study included 91 patients, of whom 52 completed IPSS and 77 completed OABSS. ChatGPT-4o was prompted with verbatim symptom statements and full medical records written by a urologist. Predicted scores were compared to actual scores

sTMI, a BIA-based index reflecting truncal skeletal muscle normalized to BMI, is an independent predictor of moderate-to-severe OAB in men. This suggests a potential role of muscle composition in OAB pathophysiology and risk stratification.

This study aimed to assess the exact location, size, and clinical significance of prostatic calcification using computed tomography (CT). We retrospectively analyzed data from 5,492 patients who underwent CT at the Department of Urology in our hospital between January 2010 and December 2020. After applying exclusion criteria (prostate cancer, post-prostatectomy, indwelling urethral catheter, severe artifacts, and software errors), 4,805 patients were included in the final analysis. Patient age,

<b>Background:</b> Differentiating histologic subtypes of fat-poor small renal masses using conventional imaging remains difficult due to their overlapping radiologic characteristics. We aimed to develop a machine learning-based diagnostic model using CT-derived radiomic features to classify the five most common renal tumor subtypes: clear cell RCC (ccRCC), papillary RCC (pRCC), chromophobe RCC (chRCC), angiomyolipoma (AML), and oncocytoma. <b>Methods:</b> A total of 499 patients with pathologic

<b>Background:</b> We investigated whether EphA2 inhibition can attenuate the progression of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in an orthotopic mouse model of kidney tumor cells (Renca). <b>Materials and Methods:</b> 16 BALB/c mice were divided into two groups and implanted with either control or shRNA-mediated, EphA2-knockdown Renca-Luciferase cells via injection under the right renal capsule. Tumor progression was followed by in vivo bioluminescence imaging (BLI). Tumor growth was evaluated via ex vi

This study aims to determine the problems involved in using a mathematical calculation to analyze the pathophysiology of nocturia using a frequency volume chart (FVC). In this retrospective study, we reviewed 253 patients who completed the FVC during ≥ 3 days for nocturia from January 2017 to February 2019. The etiology of nocturia was defined as a combination of 4 pathophysiologies, including nocturnal polyuria (NP), decreased bladder capacity (dBC), decreased nocturnal bladder capacity, and gl
