Delay from biopsy to radical prostatectomy influences the rate of adverse pathologic outcomes.
William Berg,Matthew R. Danzig,Jamie S. Pak,Ruslan Korets,Arindam RoyChoudhury,Gregory W. Hruby,Mitchell C. Benson,James M. McKiernan,Ketan K. Badani +8 more
TL;DR: This study sought to determine maximum wait times between biopsy diagnosis and surgery for localized prostate cancer, beyond which the rate of adverse pathologic outcomes is increased.

Dorsal penile nerve block for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy catheter related pain: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
Aaron C. Weinberg,Solomon L. Woldu,Ari Bergman,Arindam RoyChoudhury,Trushar Patel,William Berg,Christel Wambi,Ketan K. Badani +7 more
TL;DR: The data does not support the routine use of a dorsal penile nerve block with bupivacaine following RARP, and there were no differences in reported catheter-related discomfort or bladder spasm-associated discomfort at any of the measured time points.
Prostate cancer disease characteristics for foreign-born South Asian men living in the United States
TL;DR: SA men living in the United States have pathologic disease profiles that are comparable to AA men, and these profiles are worse in SA men and similar to that of AA men.

Findings of Routine Apical Margin Biopsy During Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy
Chris Wambi,Trushar Patel,Edan Y. Shapiro,Oded Tal,Greg Hruby,William Berg,Mitchell C. Benson,Ketan K. Badani +7 more
TL;DR: Cancer is rarely detected by IFS analysis of routine biopsy of the apical margin during RARP, and selective utilization of IFS may be useful in directing apical dissection in men with apical tumors, allowing for the preservation of maximal urethral length.

Baseline serum 25-hydroxyvitamin d levels in men undergoing radical prostatectomy: is there an association with adverse pathologic features?
William Berg,Edan Y. Shapiro,Michael B. Rothberg,Ari Bergman,Kyle Scarberry,Chris Wambi,Trushar Patel,Ketan K. Badani +7 more
TL;DR: It was found that baseline preoperative VitD level was not associated with any adverse pathologic features and VitD deficiency is a common finding in this population, although unrelated to patient age.
