Because value in healthcare has shifted to a measurement of quality relative to the cost, a greater emphasis exists on improving clinical and functional outcomes and patient satisfaction. Despite advances in implant design, surgical technique, and postoperative rehabilitation, multiple studies demonstrate that nearly 20% of patients remain dissatisfied with their overall outcomes after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Because implant positioning, alignment, and equal soft-tissue balance are critical for a successful TKA, malalignment in the coronal, sagittal, and rotational planes continue to increase failure rates and cause poor clinical outcomes. Robotic-assisted TKA has gained momentum within the past 10 years to better control surgical variables by mitigating technical errors caused by insecure cutting guides and imprecise bone cuts. Contemporary robotic platforms have evolved along with our ability to collect high-quality patient-reported outcome measures data, and this combination is proving the clinical effectiveness. This comprehensive review investigates the advent of robotic-assisted TKA including advantages, disadvantages, historical, and commercially available newer generation systems, clinical outcomes, and cost analysis to better understand the potential added value of this technology. To describe and critically discuss the most recent evidence regarding stone management during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and post-COVID-19 era. There is a need to plan for resuming the normal elective stone surgery in the post-COVID era, keeping a clear record of all surgeries that are being deferred and identifying subgroups of surgical priorities, for the de-escalation phase. Telehealth is very useful because it contributes to reduce virus dissemination guaranteeing at the same time an adequate response to patients' care needs. Once the pandemic is over, teleurology will continue to be utilized to offer cost-effective care to urological patients and it will be totally integrated in our clinical practice. This COVID-19 pandemic represents a real challenge for all national health providers on the one hand, every effort should be made to assist COVID patients, while on the other hand we must remember that all other diseases have not disappeared in the meanwhile and they will urgently need to be treated as soon as the pandemic is more under control. A correct prioritization of cases when surgical activity will progressively return back to normality is of paramount importance.

Exposure to radiation is known to have adverse effects such as secondary malignancies. Patients with nephrolithiasis are exposed to radiation in the workup and treatment of their condition. Furthermore, exposure to radiation is often repeated due to the high recurrence rate of nephrolithiasis. We discuss practices inside and outside of the operating room to strive to keep radiation exposure as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) for patients being treated for nephrolithiasis. These efforts include reduced dose computed tomography scans, fluoroless surgical techniques and new alternative technologies. Maintaining radiation exposure ALARA for our patients is increasingly practical. The urologist must make every effort to adhere to ALARA principles to protect patients from the stochastic effects of radiation.

Urinary biomarkers such as neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and N-acetyl-B-D-glucosamindase (NAG) are recognised as being useful for the detection of kidney tubular damage but their role in the diagnosis and prognosis of kidney stone disease (KSD) is still unknown. To clarify this, we performed a systematic review of literature in accordance with Cochrane methodology from inception to September 2020. Twelve studies were included and a variety of urinary biomarkers (KIM-1, NGAL, NAG, proteins/peptides, cytokines, CA19-9) were measured in a total of 998 patients with KSD. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/ly3522348.html Despite some contradicting studies, majority of the biomarkers studied showed a significant rise in patients with KSD compared to healthy controls, with levels decreasing after their surgical management, noticed as early as 4 h postprocedure. There was limited evidence of correlation with stone burden and elevated levels were also associated with hydronephrosis and superimposed infections. Urinary biomarkers could be used in the diagnosis, prognosis and stone-treatment response in patients with KSD. However, as novel indicators, they may not be reliable as the sole diagnostic or prognostic tool for KSD as they are readily confounded by other causes of kidney injury. Further studies are needed to determine their ability to separate KSD from other causes of obstructive uropathy and acute renal injury.

The frequency with which sensory disturbances occur in patients with radicular leg pain and disc herniation is not well known, and the efficacy of tests to identify such changes are not firmly established. The presence of sensory disturbances is a key sign of nerve root involvement and may contribute to the diagnosis of a lumbar disc herniation, identify patients for referral to spinal imaging and surgery, and improve disease classification. In this study, we sought (1) to determine the frequency with which abnormal sensory findings occur in patients with lumbar disc herniation-related radicular pain, using a standard neurological sensory examination; (2) to determine what particular standard sensory test or combination of tests is most effective in establishing sensory dysfunction; and (3) to determine whether a more detailed in-depth sensory examination results in more patients being identified as having abnormal sensory findings. Between October 2013 and April 2016, 115 patients aged 18 to 65 years referred to secondary health care with radicular leg pain and disc herniation were considered potentially eligible for inclusion in the study.
