Essays on Urologic

Abstract

Robotic- assisted surgery has revolutionized the surgical practice since its inception and allows surgeons to use minimally invasive techniques in cardiac, urology, and general surgeries. Robotic surgery is quickly becoming an alternative to standard laparoscopic approaches to surgery and especially in the area of urology. Even though the use of robotic- assisted surgery is more advantageous than conventional methods, its use is hinged on the surgical teams training and experiences with it. The study examines the frequency of use of the technique among various surgical teams and their response to its effectiveness. The research design of the study begins ...

Medical area is being improved with the technological advances under which robotic-assisted surgeries have been increasing in their numbers on the global scale. Based on the Bertram et al. (1637) in the last decades a minimal invasive revolution has been seen also in the area of urology, but the access and the acceptance of robotic-assisted surgery is variable across the geographical locations. There is still a lack of documentation in the area of the robotic-assisted surgeries, but it is becoming increasingly prevalent. The use of technology, availability and perception differs across countries as well as geographical locations and hospitals ( ...

Urinary Tract Infections

Introduction Microbes such as bacteria, fungi and viruses are known to be the leading causes of infection. An infection of the urinary tract is associated with the urine formation system. The tract is colonized by several health bacteria. Infective ones are quickly eliminated from the system when available. The parts of the system that can be infected are the bladder a disease called cystitis. Urethritis affects the urethra, and the kidney is pyelonephritis which is caused by the diffuse spread of infectious organisms into the kidneys (Rechtsteiner & Schappert, 2006). The bacteria E. Coli is the primary cause of UTIs. ...
