Prostate Scotland Robotic Training, Fellowship, Clinical Visit & Research Awards
Prostate Scotland, in association with The Urology Foundation, has a number of awards available to support the training of urologists, surgery nurses and first surgical assistants in Scotland in robotic assisted prostate cancer surgery. The awards – ranging in value...Rotterdam Prostate Cancer Risk app
The widespread use of prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing has led to diagnostic difficulties for patients and urologists. The sensitivity and specificity characteristics of PSA are far from optimal. To try and improve the predictive accuracy of PSA measurements, nomograms...IRCAD France: Robotic Pediatric Surgery and Urology Advanced Course
This 2-day course will cover a broad spectrum of surgical procedures in robotic pediatric surgery and urology, and will be divided into two parts with one morning dedicated to theoretical training, and the rest of the course entirely dedicated to hands-on training.
Robotic Urology
This represents a well written and comprehensive tome covering virtually all aspects of kidney, bladder and prostate surgery. The opening chapters deal well with aspects relating to robotic anaesthesia, training and education which I suspect even the most experienced of...Visual-estimation (cognitive), image-fusion (software) and in-bore targeted prostate biopsy: is there an optimal approach?
The diagnostic superiority of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) prior to targeted and systematic prostate biopsy over systematic transrectal ultrasound-guided (TRUS) biopsy alone in the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) has been proven by multiple level 1 studies...MRI screening for prostate cancer: a step towards a ‘prostagram’
The UK National Screening Committee has been calling for further research into alternative screening tests for prostate cancer. The committee decided against prostate cancer screening using prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing on the basis that “PSA is still a poor...How do we tackle social injustice in urological cancer?
Socioeconomic status as an established determinant of health and associated injustices is well recognised. Confronting these injustices and creating a fairer healthcare system is an ongoing challenge for many governments. In Scotland, the devolved government has created the Scottish Index...The doctor as the patient: receiving bad news
This article, written by a GP working in the NHS, gives a unique insight into the experience of being a urology patient and some thoughtful advice on ‘breaking bad news’. Day 1 Alarm bells ring. It’s spotting an email from...
Near-infrared fluorescence in robotic surgery
This is a systematic review and critical analysis of the current evidence on the applications of near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) in robotic urologic surgery. It uses indocyanine green (ICG), a sterile water-soluble dye which has been tested in various fields. In...Orchid: fighting male cancer for over 25 years
Orchid was established in 1996 by a young testicular cancer patient, Colin Osborne MBE, and the oncologist who saved his life, Professor Tim Oliver MD, FRCP. The charity exists to save men’s lives from testicular, penile, and prostate cancers and...
