Robotic Prostatectomy in a Patient with Hemophilia
Given the rich blood supply to the prostate and the adjacent Santorini's plexus, radical prostatectomy is associated with significant blood loss even in patients with normal coagulation profiles. In patients with hemophilia, any surgical procedure carries a risk of significant hemorrhage due to a deficiency of factors in the coagulation cascade. For these reasons, hemophiliac patients have ofte...
متن کاملDiagnostic and Treatment Delay and Associated Factors in Patients with Tuberculosis in Sistan, Iran
Background and purpose: Delay in diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis (TB) patients with positive sputum is a main reason for spread of the disease. The present study aimed at investigating delayed diagnosis and treatment of patients with positive tuberculosis in Sistan, Iran. Materials and methods: This cross sectional study was conducted among 384 patients with positive smear tuberculosis...
متن کاملDonepezil and concurrent sertraline treatment is associated with increased hippocampal volume in a patient with depression.
To the Editor: Donepezil is a widely used acetylcholinesterase inhibitor that has been shown to slow the progress of cognitive impairment in patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease. We observed a case of refractory depression with a hippocampal volume reduction identical to that commonly observed in earlyonset Alzheimer’s disease. Addition of donepezil in our case led to complete rem...
متن کاملRobotic-assisted radical prostatectomy: who is benefiting?
The first robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) was performed in 2001, and in less than 10 years it has been claimed that 80% of all radical prostatectomies are performed using this approach. How did this happen? There are, I believe, two reasons. First, there is only one commercially available robotic system, developed and manufactured by one company, Intuitive Surgical, w...
متن کاملCare of the patient undergoing robotic-assisted prostatectomy.
Prostate cancer has many treatment options. In addition to open retropubic and perineal approaches to radical prostatectomy, laparoscopic robotic prostatectomy is available as a newer surgical option. Potential advantages of robotic surgery include reduced pain and trauma, less blood loss, reduced infection risk, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery, and less scarring (Intuitive Surgical, 200...
