Abstract

Objective: To compare clinical outcomes of single‐use endoscopes with those of reusable endoscopes to better define their role within urology. Methods: A systematic search of electronic databases was performed. All studies comparing the clinical outcomes of participants undergoing urological procedures with single‐use endoscopes to those of participants treated with reusable endoscopes were included. Results are reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 statement. Results: Twenty‐one studies in 3943 participants were identified. Six different single‐use flexible ureteroscopes and two different single‐use flexible cystoscopes were assessed. There were no differences in mean postoperative infection rates (4.0% vs 4.4%; P = 0.87) or overall complication rates (11.5% vs 11.9%; P = 0.88) between single‐use and reusable endoscopes. For patients undergoing flexible ureteroscopy there were no differences in operating time (mean difference −0.05 min; P = 0.96), length of hospital stay (LOS; mean difference 0.06 days; P = 0.18) or stone‐free rate (SFR; 74% vs 74.3%; P = 0.54) between the single‐use and reusable flexible ureteroscope groups. Conclusion: This study is the largest to compare the clinical outcomes of single‐use endoscopes to those of reusable endoscopes within urology, and demonstrated no difference in LOS, complication rate or SFR, with a shorter operating time associated with single‐use flexible cystoscope use. It also highlights that the cost efficiency and environmental impact of single‐use endoscopes is largely dependent on the caseload and reprocessing facilities available within a given institution. Urologists can therefore feel confident that whether they choose to 'use' or to 'reuse' based on the financial and environmental implications, they can do so without negatively impacting patient outcomes.

12. Social determinants of health: does socioeconomic status affect access to staging imaging for men with prostate cancer

Author

Kelly, Brian D., Perera, Marlon, Bolton, Damien M., and Papa, Nathan

Abstract

Socioeconomic status (SES), race and geographical factors are known to impact prostate cancer management and outcomes. We aimed to assess these factors with regard to access to novel imaging in prostate cancer. Using the Prostate Cancer Outcomes Registry of Victoria (PCOR-Vic) we identified 5256 men diagnosed with prostate cancer via biopsy. Following the introduction of government rebate, the access to MRI improved with respect to SES. Access to PET imaging remains poor with respect to SES and geographical location in the absence of Federal funding. Further improvements for men with low SES and regional areas to access PET staging.

13. Reporting and ideal testosterone levels in men undergoing androgen deprivation for prostate cancer—time for a rethink?

Author

Cabarkapa, Sonja, Perera, Marlon, Sikaris, Ken, O’Brien, Jonathan S., Bolton, Damien M., and Lawrentschuk, Nathan

Abstract

This study aims to review current laboratory reporting strategies across Australia and New Zealand with a view to propose a more useful template for reporting serum testosterone in the context of prostate cancer.
