To evaluate the impact of multiparametric magnetic0 resonance imaging (mpMRI) to guide nerve-sparing (NS) surgical plan in prostate cancer (PCa) patients referred robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).One hundred thirty-seven consecutive PCa were submitted RARP between September 2016 and February 2017 at two high-volume European centers. Before RARP, each patient was 1.5T or 3T mpMRI. NS recorded as Grade 1, 2, 3, 4 according Tewari colleagues classification. A preliminary determinate...
Clinical Practice Points•Three-dimensional (D) models can be used as additional preoperative tools to improve the understanding of size, location, depth a renal mass and vascular anatomy before robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN).•During RAPN, augmented reality (AR) technology with overlapping 3D inside robotic console, facilitate fast accurate anatomic identification vasculature tumor in real-time manner.•The 3D-guided approach AR during RAPN allows surgeon perform selective...
BACKGROUND: To develop a clinical nomogram aimed to predict the achievement of trifecta in patients treated with open, laparoscopic and robotic partial nephrectomy (PN) for localized renal masses (METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated 482 consecutive who underwent PN open (OPN: 243), (LPN: 156) (RAPN: 83) approach T1 mass at single tertiary center. Trifecta was defined as follows: warm ischemia time (WIT) <20 min no positive surgical margins (PSM) postoperative complications. First, we...
BACKGROUND: We aimed to assess the detection rate of overall PCa and csPCa, clinical impact MRI/TRUS fusion targeted biopsy (FUSION-TB) compared TRUS guided systematic (SB) in patients with different settings.METHODS: Three hundred five were submitted FUSION-TB, divided into three groups: naïve patients, previous negative biopsies under active surveillance (AS). All had a single suspicious index lesion at mpMRI. Within these groups, we enrolled men underwent both FUSION-TB SB same session....
Local tumor ablation to treat small renal mass is increasing. The aim of the present study was compare oncologic outcomes among patients with T1 treated partial nephrectomy and local ablation.To reduce inherent differences between undergoing laparoscopic or robot-assisted (n = 405) 137), we used a 1:1 propensity score-matched analysis. consisted radiofrequency cryoablation. Disease-free survival, overall survival other causes mortality-free rates were estimated using Kaplan-Meier method....
To report the perioperative and early functional outcomes of patients undergoing Robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with totally intracorporeal urinary diversion performed by a single surgeon after modified modular training.The (A.P.) attained 30-days training at referring Center mentored worldwide-recognized robotic (P.W.). The program consisted of: 1) e-learning based on 10 hours theoretical lessons made mentor; 2) video-session concerning different steps procedure, 3) step-by-step...

Objective: To assess the economic impact of Holmium laser enucleation prostate (HoLEP) in comparison with transurethral resection (TURP) and open prostatectomy (OP). Methods: Between January 2017 2018, we prospectively enrolled 151 men who underwent HoLEP, TURP or OP at tertiary Italian center, due to bladder outflow obstruction symptoms. Patients volume ≤ 70 cc those > were scheduled for HoLEP respectively. Intraoperative early post-operative functional outcomes recorded up 6 months...
Objective To evaluate the clinical impact of 68 Ga‐prostate‐specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography on planned management prostate cancer patients with biochemical recurrence after surgery. Methods We enrolled 276 referred to due surgery (two consecutive prostate‐specific assays ≥0.2 ng/mL). First, detection rate was assessed according different levels. Second, independent predictors positive results were assessed. Finally, intended treatment before...
BACKGROUND We report long-term oncologic outcomes in patients with positive surgical margins (PSMs) at radical prostatectomy (RP) and the impact of different scenarios PSMs presentation. METHODS selected 494 men least 3 years follow-up after surgery. patterns were recorded as: burden (focal vs. multifocal), site (apical-anterior posterolateral base-bladder neck multiple) side (unilateral bilateral). Kaplan-Meier curves depicted clinical recurrence-free survival (CR-FS) rates 10-year overall...
