The article presents the results of a comparative study of the frequency and severity of bleeding after prostate biopsy performed under the control of Doppler mode of vascular scanning and without its use. Compared with the usual mode of ultrasound scanning of the prostate, the use of Doppler imaging mode of intraprostatic vessels reduces the number of hemorrhagic complications of prostate biopsy, which confirms the feasibility of using the Doppler mode when taking biopsy material.
Urothelial carcinoma is one of the most common solid malignancies. Moreover, urothelial cancer of the ureter of a single kidney is a rare entity that requires nephron-sparing treatment and carries a high risk of postoperative recurrence. An analysis of the literature on this disease was conducted using the databases of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science for the period from 2011 to 2022. A clinical case of recurrence of urothelial cancer of the pyelocaliceal system of the kidney in a 73-year-old patient was presented. For the primary tumor, the patient underwent percutaneous laser en bloc resection on the narrow base of the tumor. In case of recurrence, given the acute angle of attack and the wide tumor base, bipolar loop resection became necessary. This clinical observation demonstrates the need for logistical equipment with laser, mono- and bipolar energy sources, and flexible nephroscopes for the most effective and personalized treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
