Artificial Intelligence in Urological Oncology: An update and future applications
Brodie, Andrew; Dairu, Dai; Teoh, Jeremy; Decaestecker, Karel; Dasgupta, Prokar; Vasdev, Nikhil (2021-05-20)There continues to be rapid developments and research in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Urological Oncology worldwide. In this review we discuss the basics of AI, application of AI per tumour group (Renal, ... -
Comparative study between the use of double J ureteric stents vs bander ureteric stents during robotic assisted radical cystectomy with intra corporeal ileal conduit urinary diversion
Ibrahim, Mohamed; Nayak, Arvind; Patel, Amit; Brodie, Andrew; Decaestecker, Karel; Teoh, Jeremy Yuen-Chun; Vasdev, Nikhil (2024-01-10)Robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) is fast becoming the standard of care with comparable oncological outcomes to open surgery for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Ileal conduit is by far the most popular ... -
Comparing different pneumoperitoneum (12 vs. 15 mmHg) pressures with cytokine analysis to evaluate clinical outcomes in patients undergoing robotic‐assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy and intracorporeal robotic urinary diversion
Vasdev, Nikhil; Martin, Naomi; Hackney, Amon B.; Piedad, John; Hampson, Alexander; Gowrie-Mohan, Shan; Prasad, Venkat; Chilvers, Michael; Ebon, Martin; Smith, Philip; Tegan, Gary; Decaestecker, Karel; Baydoun, Anwar (2023-09-25)BACKGROUND: Robotic cystectomy is the mainstay surgical intervention for treatment-refractory nonmuscle-invasive and muscle-invasive bladder cancer. However, paralytic ileus may complicate the postoperative recovery and ... -
Current role of cytoreductive nephrectomy in metastatic renal cell carcinoma
Van Praet, Charles; Slots, Charlotte; Vasdev, Nikhil; Rottey, Sylvie; Fonteyne, Valérie; Andras, Iulia; Albersen, Maarten; De Meerleer, Gert; Bex, Axel; Decaestecker, Karel (2021-02-01)Historically, immediate cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN) was considered the standard of care in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) who were fit enough to undergo surgery.
