However, most clinical studies targeting bladder cancer have limited the upper age limit to 75 years. With the higher age of diagnosis of older patients with bladder cancer, there is a lack of prognostic data for bladder cancer at advanced ages. In this study, we analyzed the prognostic factors of older patients with bladder cancer 75 years or older using Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) data.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 Clinical parameters that constitute potential risk factors were analyzed by downloading a total of 13,505 patients with bladder cancer from the SEER database using univariate and multifactorial Cox proportional risk regression. Nomogram was constructed based on parameters significantly associated with overall survival (OS). The consistency index (c-index) and area under the curve were used to evaluate the predictive performance of the model.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 From the SEER database, we analyzed 13,505 cases and found that the median survival time for the whole cohort was 52 months. However, the median survival was 11 months, 8 months, and 6 months in 75 to 79 years subgroup, 80 to 84 years subgroup, and older than 85 years subgroup, when patients were diagnosed with stage IV. OS was poorer in the high histological grade patients. Furthermore, it was found that patients with lymph node metastasis had a significantly unfavorable prognosis than those with negative lymph nodes. The more advanced stage and distant metastases of patients had the shorter survival. Patients who underwent surgery had better overall survival than nonsurgical patients, and chemotherapy had prolonged survival. Conversely, survival was documented to be shorter with radiotherapy than those without radiotherapy.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 The overall prognosis of older patients with bladder cancer was poor, especially in patients with lymph node metastasis, high histological grade, and advanced stage, while a combination of surgery and chemotherapy could prolong survival.\u0000","PeriodicalId":508272,"journal":{"name":"JU Open Plus","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141034191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These have the potential to act as a nidus for stone recurrence, and the effectiveness of irrigation via the ureteroscope at clearing them is not well understood. Using an in vitro quartz-based model, fragments of known sizes from <63 µm to 2mm are irrigated at rates of 15 mL/min, 30 mL/min and 120 mL/min. Clinically achievable rates of 15-30 mL/min are unable to wash out larger particles >500 µm, and even 120 mL/min irrigation was able to wash out less than half of these larger particles. Complete stone clearance is unlikely to be achievable by intraoperative irrigation alone and requires additional technologies such as suction.","PeriodicalId":508272,"journal":{"name":"JU Open Plus","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141042668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After discussion of treatment options with the patient, we elected to perform both holmium LASER enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) of a 200cc prostate and buccal graft urethroplasty during the same surgery. The HoLEP was performed through a dorsal urethrotomy in anticipation of urethroplasty. Nontransecting anastomotic repair was then combined with the buccal graft urethroplasty. The patient did not have any acute postoperative complications and had no recurrence. He reported improvements in outcome questionnaire scores and uroflow parameters at the 12-month follow-up.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 This case presentation is the first to report on simultaneous complex urethroplasty and endoscopic management of BPH, specifically HoLEP.

We aimed to compare the occurrence and importance of complications after radical (RN) or partial (PN) nephrectomy for localized renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and contribution to patient mortality.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 All RCC cases were extracted from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program between 2005 and 2017. All-cause mortality was the primary endpoint that defined a failure to rescue (FTR) after the occurrences of complications. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to adjust for confounding variables between the 2 groups. The exclusion criteria included patients on dialysis, those with distant metastases, and those with concurrent procedures. Null hypotheses were rejected when P-values were < .05.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 The database included 24,830 patients, with 22,015 in the RN group and 2815 in the PN. After PSM, 2226 patients after PN were matched 1:1 to an equal number of patients who underwent RN. Overall, postoperative complications occurred in 20.5% after RN, more frequent than 15.9% after PN (P < .001). While the mortality rates were similar, patients were more likely to experience blood transfusion and reintubation, as well as longer hospital stay after RN, while they were likely to have more infectious complications, including abdominal abscess, and more likely to return to the operating room after PN. In both groups, cardiac and respiratory complications were associated with FTR, leading to mortality. Excessive bleeding (requiring transfusion) was also a significant cause of death after RN but not after PN.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 When planning PN or RN, patients should be counseled on the risks of their selective procedure and the potential increased mortality risk with certain complications.
