Objective To compare the therapeutic efficacy of robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy versus conventional laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, and analyze the factors influencing treatment outcomes. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 719 patients (total cohort) who underwent radical prostatectomy in our department from June 2002 to October 2023. According to different surgical methods, they were divided into robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy group (robotic group, n=409) and conventional laparoscopic radical prostatectomy group (conventional group, n=310). Clinical characteristics, biochemical recurrence rates, and recovery of urinary continence at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively, as well as sexual function recovery at 6 and 12 months after surgery, were compared between the 2 groups. Additionally, the factors influencing biochemical recurrence and urinary continence recovery were analyzed across the entire cohort. Results In the cohort, the robot group demonstrated significantly larger proportions of pathological high T stages (≥pT3, P < 0.01), increased positive lymph node rate (P < 0.01), and greater number of dissected lymph nodes (P < 0.01) than the conventional group. There were no statistical differences between the 2 groups in terms of Gleason score, biochemical recurrence rate, or incidence and type of complications. The robot group exhibited significantly higher rates of urinary continence recovery at 1 (P=0.004), 3 (P < 0.01), 6 (P=0.002) and 12 months (P=0.004) postoperatively. But no obvious difference was seen in the score of International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) between the 2 groups at 6 and 12 months. Across the entire cohort, pathological high T stage (≥pT3, P < 0.01), high Gleason score (>7, P=0.036), fewer lymph nodes dissected (≤10, P < 0.01), and positive lymph nodes (P=0.046) were independent risk factors for biochemical recurrence. Additionally, the surgical method, specifically robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, was identified as a significant factor influencing urinary continence recovery at 12 months postoperatively (P=0.005). Conclusion Compared to conventional laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy shows certain effect on reducing biochemical recurrence rate and enhancing recovery of urinary continence in prostate cancer patients at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively.

Objective To summarize our surgical techniques and clinical experience of robot-assisted laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (RARN) and open radical nephrectomy (ORN) plus inferior vena cava thrombectomy (IVCT), and compare the clinical outcomes and safety of the 2 procedures. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 26 patients diagnosed with renal tumor complicated with inferior vena cava tumor thrombus who underwent radical nephrectomy plus inferior vena cava thrombectomy in our department from 2012 to 2022. Among them, 12 patients were conducted with ORN plus IVCT (O-IVCT), including 3 cases having cardiopulmonary bypass, and the other 14 patients received RARN plus IVCT (RA-IVCT), of them 2 cases experienced conversion to open surgery. Surgical characteristics, such as operative time, intraoperative duration for blocking the vena cava, intraoperative bleeding volume, postoperative length of hospital stay and rates of intraoperative blood transfusion and postoperative conversion to ICU were compared between the 2 groups. Results The average operative time was 394±141 min in all cases, and the time of blocking the inferior vena cava was 23.90±6.95 min excluding 3 cases undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass. There were no significantly differences in the average age, body mass index (BMI), tumor size, pathological T stage, or tumor thrombus level by Mayo classification between the RA-IVCT and O-IVCT group. The patients from the RA-IVCT group had a median intraoperative bleeding volume of 600 (50~1 600) mL, significantly less than that in the O-IVCT group [1 100 (600~3 800) mL, P=0.049]. No statistical differences were observed between the RA-IVCT group and O-IVCT group in following indicators: mean operative time (323±102 vs 401±95 min, P=0.089), mean duration of blocking the inferior vena cava (26.10±7.03 vs 20.20±6.16 min, P=0.057), rate of blood transfusion (8/12 vs 8/9, P=0.338), rate of ICU admission (3/12 vs 6/9, P=0.087), or median length of hospital stay after surgery [7(4~14) vs 8(7~20) d, P=0.091]. Conclusion RA-IVCT is a safe and effective operation, with the advantage of less intraoperative bleeding volume when compared with O-IVCT.
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical characteristics of fumarate hydratase-deficient renal cell carcinoma(FH-RCC)in kidney transplant patients so as to improve the diagnosis and treatment of the disease clinically.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed and summarized the clinical data of one kidney transplanted patient with FH-RCC who was treated in the urological department of our medical center in March 2022, including clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis. A literature review was also performed to analyze and summarize its characteristics.ResultsA 52-year-old female patient who received a kidney transplant 20 years ago was diagnosed with right kidney cancer with multiple metastases. Cytoreductive nephrectomy was performed and pathological type was FH-RCC based on Revised Version of WHO 2022 Classification of Renal Tumors. She then received targeted therapy until discontinuation due to elevated serum creatinine and the disease progressed rapidly.ConclusionFH-RCC is characterized by rapid progress and poor prognosis. Its diagnosis relies on immunohistochemistry and genetic test. There are no currently standard-of-care treatment options for kidney transplant patients with renal cell carcinoma. Individualized treatment regimens should be suggested for these patients.
Objective To analyze the risk factors for biochemical recurrence in prostate cancer patients after radical prostatectomy (RP) and establish a risk prediction model for the recurrence. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 279 patients who underwent RP surgery in our hospital from September 2007 to March 2022. There were 21 clinical indicators collected and analyzed. After time factors were included, Lasso regression was applied to screen the indicators, Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curve, univariate and multivariate Cox proportional risk regression models were employed to analyze the risk factors and establish a prediction model. Then receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were plotted to evaluate the discriminative performance of the model. Then a nomogram was draw based on the obtained risk factors. Calibration curve was used to evaluate the accuracy of prediction, and decision curve was employed to assess the clinical benefit. Results During a median follow-up time of 37.10 (17.60, 61.30) months, 86 cases (30.8%), at a median age of 68.00 (65.00, 72.00) years, experienced biochemical recurrence. Univariate analysis showed that 12 indicators were strongly associated with biochemical recurrence after RP (P < 0.05), and Lasso regression screening indicated 7 representative indicator sets, including nutritional risk index (NRI), clinical T-stage, pathological Gleason score, pathological T-stage, positive surgical margin, lymph node invasion, and seminal vesicle invasion. Further multifactorial analysis revealed that pathological high stage (≥pT3 stage) (HR=1.895, 95%CI: 1.045~3.435, P=0.035), positive surgical margin (HR=1.808, 95%CI: 1.006~3.25, P=0.048), lymph node invasion (HR=2.161, 95% CI: 1.118~4.175, P=0.022) and NRI ≤106.9 (HR=0.598, 95% CI: 0.378~0.946, P=0.028) were independent risk factors for biochemical recurrence. The predictive equation was established with an AUC of 0.743 (95% CI: 0.677~0.810, P < 0.001), a sensitivity of 0.826 and a specificity of 0.534. And the established nomogram has a C-index of 0.741 (95%CI: 0.677~0.805; P < 0.001), with good agreement indicated by calibration curve. Clinical decision curve displayed that there was a net benefit when the threshold probability was 15%~85%. Conclusion High pathological stage (≥pT3 stage), positive surgical margin, lymph node invasion, and NRI ≤106.9 are independent risk factors for biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer after RP. Our prediction model can make effective judgments and provide references for clinical decision making.

Background Genetic profiling of patients with prostate cancer could potentially identify mutations prone to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Here, we aimed to identify the differences in genetic profiles of patients with hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (HSPC) and CRPC and stratify HSPC patients to identify mutations associated with CRPC progression. Methods A total of 103 samples were collected, including 62 DNA samples from the tumor tissues of 59 HSPC patients and 41 cell-free DNA (cfDNA) samples from prostate cancer patients at different cancer stages. Targeted sequence was conducted on both the tissue DNA and cfDNA. The associations between mutations and clinical outcomes (CRPC-free time) were analyzed using χ 2 test, logistic regression analysis, Kaplan–Meier analysis, and Cox regression analysis. Results By comparing to that of cfDNA sequencing, the results from DNA sequencing of 1-needle (80%) and mixed 12-needle (77.8%) biopsies are highly comparable. FOXA1 (30.5%), CDK12 (23.7%), and TP53 (22.0%) were the top 3 most frequently mutated genes in HSPC patients; 50.8% (30/59) and 44.1% (26/59) HSPC patients had mutations in DDR and HRR pathway, respectively. Mutations in AR and APC as well as the members involved in the regulation of stem cell pluripotency and EMT pathway were often observed in CRPC samples. We established a panel of four genetic mutations (MSH2, CDK12, TP53, and RB1) to predict the risk of CRPC early progression with concordance index = 0.609 and the area under curve of the ROC curve as 0.838. Conclusions In this study, we demonstrated that the cfDNA can be used in genetic profiling in prostate cancer and our newly established panel is capable of predicting which mHSPC patient has a high risk of early CRPC progression.
Objective To preliminarily investigate the safety and effectiveness of robot-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT) in the perioperative period. Methods Clinical data of 14 patients undergoing renal transplantation in our department from June 2018 to March 2022 were collected and retrospectively analyzed. They were 8 males and 6 females, and at an age of 22 to 45 years. There were 4 patients receiving robotic-assisted laparoscopic living-donor kidney transplantation (RAKT group), and 10 cases receiving open kidney transplantation (OKT group) with deceased donor kidney. Arterio-venous anastomoses (AVAs) time, length of post-operative stay, pre- and post-operative serum creatinine levels, intraoperative blood loss, and incidence of post-operative complications were retrospectively analyzed between the patients of the 2 groups. Results The surgeries went well in the 14 patients. The amount of intraoperative blood loss was 162.5±47.8 mL in the RAKT group and 245.1±68.5 mL in the OKT group(P < 0.05). The arterial anastomosis time was 32.5±6.5 min in the RAKT group and 24.3±5.3 min in the OKT group. The venous anastomosis time was 16.5±3.8 min in the RAKT group and 14.6±1.5 min in the OKT group. The blood creatinine level was 98.1±33.2 μmol/L in the RAKT group and 142.8±42.1 μmol/L in the OKT group in 7 d after surgery. The retention time of drainage tube was 10.0±1.2 d in the OKT group and 6.5±0.5 d in the RAKT group(P < 0.01). The length of stay after surgery was 13.0±2.5 d in the RAKT group and 16.3±2.1 d in the OKT group(P=0.01). Conclusion RAKT is safer than OKT in the perioperative period and causes fewer postoperative complications.

Objective To explore the feasibility of laparoendoscopic single-site epinephroectomy through retroperitoneal approach. Methods Eight patients, including 5 cases of adrenal hyperplasia and 3 cases of adenoma, underwent retroperitonral laparoendoscopic single-site epinephroectomy. In all cases, a 2.5 cm single longitudinal incision was made along the midaxillary line 4-5 cm above the iliac crest. Two 5 mm and one 10 mm trocars were inserted, and medical rubber glove was sutured surrounding these trocars and incision for gas proofing. Flexible electric coagulation hook and plier were used for dissection. The adrenal central vein was held by Hem-o-lock clamps. Results All operations were successfully completed. The mean operating time was 95 (55-135) minutes. The mean estimated blood loss was 85 (50-150) ml. The total drainage volume after operation was less than 100 ml in all case. Follow-up results after 1 to 4 months demonstrated that, blood pressure in all patients decreased respectively and returned to the normal range in 5 cases. Slow cicatrization of incision occured in only 1 case. Conclusions Retroperitoneal laparoendoscopic single-site epinephroectomy is verified to be safe and feasible, and the operation outcome is proved to be effective.
