Background:
Penile cancer is a rare urological malignancy, accounting for less than 1% of all cancers in males. Given its rarity, few studies exist reporting survival outcomes. The primary objective of this project was to review the mortality of patients diagnosed with penile cancer in Western Australia between 1992 and 2017 and to determine if Ab...
Objectives To develop a nomogram that could predict spontaneous stone passage (SSP) in patients presenting with acute ureteric colic who are suitable for conservative management. Patients and Methods A 2517 patient dataset was utilised from an international multicentre cohort study (MIMIC, A Multi-centre Cohort Study Evaluating the role of Inflamma...
Objective
A micturating or voiding cystourethrogram (MCUG) is commonly performed in paediatric patients to evaluate a range of urological conditions with structural and neurogenic aetiology.
The primary objective was to determine the incidence of culture-positive urinary tract infection (UTI) after MCUG. We further wanted to identify risk factors f...
Objective:
To assess the necessity of routine prophylactic drain tube use following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).
Method:
We performed a literature review using the Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science databases with no restriction of language from January 1900 to January 2020. The following terms we used in the literature search:...
Objectives: To assess the relationship of white blood cell count (WBC) and other routinely collected inflammatory and clinical markers including stone size, stone position, and medical expulsive therapy use (MET), with spontaneous stone passage (SSP) in a large contemporary cohort of patients with acute ureteric colic, as there are conflicting data...
An extraosseous or soft tissue chondroma is a rare, benign cartilaginous tumour characterised by the formation of mature hyaline cartilage. The majority of osseous chondromas are located within the medullary cavity of long bones. Soft tissue chondromas are extremely rare with only five cases affecting the bladder being reported in the literature. S...
Introduction & Objectives
There is conflicting evidence on the role of medical expulsive therapy (MET) in spontaneous stone passage in patients with acute ureteric colic. Randomised trial data has not shown a role for MET use, though these have been underpowered to explore its role in specific patient subgroups. It is unknown whether MET use may h...
Background:
Surgical operation notes are crucial for medical record keeping and information flow in continued patient care. In addition to inherent medical implications, the quality of operative notes also has important economic and medico-legal ramifications. Further, well-documented records can also be useful for audit purposes and propagation o...
Background: Published research on fathers in the setting of teenage pregnancy reports higher levels of social risk factors and poorer pregnancy outcomes. However, there is limited data on the father’s birth experiences. We report on the birth experience of a cohort of teenage fathers.
Methods: Observational study of 50 teenage fathers and 100 non-...
