Four Studies Worth Knowing
|
|
|
|
|
A multicenter study found significant symptom improvement following iTIND treatment, but 32% of patients reported high decision regret at one year—highlighting the importance of patient counseling and expectation management.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Endourological Society Census
|
|
|
96.3% of respondents reported that the Society positively impacted their professional development. Accessibility and mentorship remain key areas for continued growth.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The lower-cost Revo-i robotic system demonstrated comparable outcomes in routine partial nephrectomy cases, while careful patient selection remains important for complex tumors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Men with symptomatic BPH had more than twice the risk of developing kidney stones within five years compared with matched controls.
