Prostatectomy (Robotic)

Very clear about process and all information supplied. Very happy with final result in what is a difficult time. Thank you.

mp-MRI showed good performance at both detection and ruling out clinically significant disease, according to the definition used. mp-MRI can then be used as a triage test in the population with persistently elevated or rising PSA levels to select patients that can avoid unnecessary prostate biopsy.

The accuracy of multiparametric MRI in men with negative biopsy and elevated PSA level--can it rule out clinically significant prostate cancer? - PubMed

Prostate biopsy targeted to suspicious lesions on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging has encouraging rates of detection of clinically significant cancer while also decreasing the detection rate of clinically insignificant cancer. This is achieved with fewer biopsy cores than for systematic t …

Transperineal magnetic resonance image targeted prostate biopsy versus transperineal template prostate biopsy in the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer - PubMed

MRI-TB seems to have encouraging detection rates for clinically significant cancer with fewer cores compared with TPM, although TPM had higher detection rates for smaller lower grade lesions.

• The ADC and T2-nSI of benign/cancer PZ are higher than benign/cancer TZ. • DCE parameters are significantly different between benign PZ and TZ, but not between cancerous PZ and TZ. • Diagnostic models containing contrast enhancement parameters have reduced performance when applied across zones.

Zone-specific logistic regression models improve classification of prostate cancer on multi-parametric MRI - PubMed

mp-MRI can detect radiorecurrent prostate cancer. The optimal examination included T2-weighted imaging and high b-value DWI; adding ADC maps and DCE imaging did not significantly improve the diagnostic accuracy.

We present a case of prostate cancer with abnormal renal and ureteric anatomy who underwent robotic assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy. This is a 59-year-old European patient who presented with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and pelvic pain. Investigations revealed prostate cancer as well as a …

Symptomatic duplex kidney is a rare presentation in adults. In our experience, heminephrectomy for non-functioning renal unit is safe and reproducible in experienced hands with no major complications and resolution of symptoms in the majority of patients. We have, however, observed a higher complica …

• MRI helps find prostate cancer in the anterior of the gland • Logistic regression models based on mp-MRI can classify prostate cancer • Computers can help confirm cancer in areas doctors are uncertain about.

Logistic regression model for diagnosis of transition zone prostate cancer on multi-parametric MRI - PubMed

The presence of an mp-MRI lesion in men with low-risk prostate cancer on TRUS biopsy confers, in most patients, a high likelihood that higher-risk disease will be present (either Gleason pattern 4 or a significant cancer burden). Conversely, if a lesion is not seen on mp-MRI, the attribution of low- …

MpMRI demonstrated encouraging diagnostic performance characteristics in detecting and ruling out clinically significant prostate cancer in men at risk, who were biopsy naive.
