Laparoscopic approaches to gynecological surgery have been developed by an elite group of highly skilled surgeons. As these procedures become more prevalent in the general gynecological approach to disease and the general gynecologist's approach to treatment, the complication rate for these procedures is likely to increase. In an effort to assist in avoiding these complications, guidelines for ...

Urinary cytology has a well-established role in the detection and monitoring of urothelial carcinoma. The main strength of cytology is the high specificity for high-grade urothelial carcinoma and carcinoma in situ, but it has a low sensitivity for low-grade, non-invasive tumors. There are several other limitations of cytology. Cytology of the upper urinary tract and after intravesical therapy w...
