Abstract Aim This systematic review aims to evaluate the perioperative outcomes between laparoscopic (LPN), open (OPN), and robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RPN) using standardised system, Clavien-Dindo Classification (CDC). Method The was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. A search performed on Cochrane, Embase PubMed databases. Articles January 2016 December 2021 were includ...

The aim of this paper was the application of the failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) approach to assess the risks for patients undergoing radiotherapy treatments performed by means of a helical tomotherapy unit. FMEA was applied to the preplanning imaging, volume determination, and treatment planning stages of the tomotherapy process and consisted of three steps: 1) identification of the i...

OBJECTIVE In this study we aimed to compare renal functions in patients who underwent robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) with on-clamp and zero- ischemia techniques. MATERIAL AND METHODS Between 2009 and 2015, 12 off-clamp and 22 on-clamp RPN procedures were performed on a total of 34 patients in two centers. The main outcome parameters examined were serum creatinine, and estimated glomerular ...

PURPOSE To develop and implement a failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA)-based commissioning and quality assurance framework for dynamic multileaf collimator (DMLC) tumor tracking systems. METHODS A systematic failure mode and effect analysis was performed for a prototype real-time tumor tracking system that uses implanted electromagnetic transponders for tumor position monitoring and a DML...

Liver cancer remains a major problem around the world. Resibufogenin (RBG) is a major bioactive compound that was isolated from Chansu (also called toad venom or toad poison), which is a popular traditional Chinese medicine that is obtained from the skin secretions of giant toads. RBG has strong antitumor effects, but its poor aqueous solubility and its cardiotoxicity have limited its clinical ...

Predicting the failure modes effect and criticality analysis (FMECA) of a dynamic positioning (DP) system using fuzzy logic is aim this research. The identification DP systems subsystems, classification into critical less-critical levels based on Risk Priority Number (RPN) to depict main root causes in are some objectives support goal. offers details number issues, including their effects funct...

BACKGROUND A multidisciplinary and multi-institutional working group applied the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) approach to the actively scanned proton beam radiotherapy process implemented at CNAO (Centro Nazionale di Adroterapia Oncologica), aiming at preventing accidental exposures to the patient. METHODS FMEA was applied to the treatment planning stage and consisted of three ste...
