Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the bladder: do they have a worse prognosis? A large retrospective cohort study by propensity score matching analysis.

Background: The aim was to develop nomograms by integrating clinical characteristics and treatment data to predict overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) for bladder patients including urothelial carcinoma (UC) and neuroendocrine bladder cancer (NEBC).

Methods: We utilized the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (2004-2015) to compare the OS and CSS between NEBC and UC. Multivariable Cox analyses and propensity score matching (PSM) were employed for analysis.

Functional Outcomes After 'SHURUI' Single-Port Robot-Assisted Pyeloplasty for Uretero Pelvic Junction Obstruction: Single-Centre Experience.

Background: To explore the preliminary safety and efficacy of domestic single-port robot-assisted pyeloplasty in ureteropelvic junction obstruction.

Methods: Data from patients undergoing single-port robotic-assisted pyeloplasty (November 2023-May 2024) using the 'SHURUI' SP system through a single-site approach were reviewed. Details included patient demographics, intraoperative and postoperative data, and surgical outcomes.
