Robotic Cystectomies Have Advantages
Robotic radical cystectomy (RC) may offer advantages over open surgery without compromising pathologic measures of early oncologic efficacy, researchers suggest.

PARIS—Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) for localized prostate tumors is associated with a relatively low positive margin rate, data show.
Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and urinary incontinence (UI) are common in the Canadian population, researchers report.
Transobturator tape (TOT) is a safe and effective as tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) in surgery for stress urinary incontinence.
PARIS—Early results suggest that patients like the newly modified AMS 700 series inflatable pump penis prosthesis.
PARIS—Dutasteride is more effective than tamsulosin for treating men with moderate-to-severe urinary symptoms of BPH, data suggest.
CHICAGO—Clinicians can safely use sirolimus and voriconazole concurrently if certain steps are followed, according to investigators.
Using a single drug to block the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) may be just as effective as using two drugs at decreasing albuminuria in hypertensive patients with microalbuminuria and elevated cardiovascular risks, data suggest. Dual RAAS blockade achieves greater BP reductions, however.
Systemic vasculitis (SV) in renal transplant recipients does not significantly affect patient and graft survival, an Italian study found.
One third of the standard dose of bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) could be recommended as adjuvant treatment for intermediate-risk superficial bladder tumors, Spanish researchers say.
