Abstract Background The Senhance ® robotic surgery system is a novel platform used in several European and World centres. We present our experience urologic using this platform. Patients Methods From May 2019 to December 2020, we performed 30 operations of upper urinary tract (UUT) 70 extraperitoneal radical prostatectomies (RRP). Relevant data were prospectively collected for key outcomes. Results median age UUT was 51, RRP 65 years. average estimated blood loss 30, 200 ml. operating time...
Senhance is novel robotic platform which can be used to perform radical prostatectomy (RP). We compare our results of RP similar patients operated with laparoscopic technique.A prospective study 61 laparoscopically and 107 using the system. have analysed operative postoperative in both groups.There was no difference time, estimated blood loss, positive surgical margins, length hospitalisation catheterisation. There were 4 (6.5%) Clavien-Dindo grade I complications, 5 (8.1%) late...
Eighty-five patients had staging laparoscopic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (L-RPLND) for nonseminomatous germ cell tumors at our institution. The largest size was measured and presence or absence of metastatic disease determined. A total 1139 nodes have been removed in 27 (31.8%) patients, metastases one more were detected. There 338 (29.7%) hilar, 259 (22.7%) paraaortic, 221 (19.4%) interaortocaval, 171 (15%) paracaval, 133 (11.7%) preaortic 17 (1.5%) precaval nodes. number with 74...
The current guidelines for the management of adrenal incidentaloma advise hormonal and radiological follow-up patients 2-5 years after initial diagnosis. However, vast majority are non-functional benign cortical adenomas that require no treatment, so routine application strategies often results in a number unnecessary biochemical investigations. aim this study was to analyse clinical course with provide critical review strategy disease.This retrospective performed Croatian Referral Center...
We present a case series of 12 consecutive robot-assisted adrenalectomies performed from May 2019 to March 2020 by single surgeon experienced in laparoscopy using the novel Senhance robotic system. Eleven patients had primary aldosteronism due an adrenal adenoma, diagnosed means endocrinological and radiological evaluation, 1 benign cyst. The adrenalectomy technique is described detail. mean procedure time was 165.1 minutes, with docking 11.6 minutes console 98.6 minutes. estimated blood...
Senhance Surgical System is a novel robotic platform used in University Hospital Centre Zagreb since February 2019. In this study, we present our 3-year experience with platform.Data were prospectively collected for 200 patients who underwent extraperitoneal radical prostatectomy (RRP) from May 2019 to March 2022.The median age of the was 65 years, and prostate-specific antigen 6.9 ng/mL. Clinically, most had T1c stage. The estimated blood loss 250 mL, there 6 conversions laparoscopic 2 open...
Laparoscopic adrenalectomy has become the standard of care for surgical treatment benign adrenal pathology. We present following case series documenting our experience in refinement this approach.Analysis patient records identified those whom laparoscopic was performed from January 1997 through February 2010. Study variables included indications, operative time, blood loss, length hospital stay, histopathological evaluation, and complications.Laparoscopic 306 patients using transperitoneal...
Abstract Objective The purpose of the study was to compare long‐term outcomes patients with localized adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) subjected open vs laparoscopic surgery. Design Retrospective study. Patients This retrospective included 46 ACC ENSAT stage I‐stage III whom 23 underwent surgery (OA group), whereas were adrenalectomy (LA group). main analysed in differences between OA and LA groups recurrence‐free survival (RFS) overall (OS). Results group had larger tumours (120 [70‐250] mm...
Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy for patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) faces limitations in efficacy and significant side effects, aggravated by a recent global shortage. In this prospective clinical study, we report outcomes of sequential intravesical adminis-tration gemcitabine docetaxel (Gem/Doce) as the first-line treatment BCG-naïve high-risk NMIBC (HR NMIBC). From October 2019 until April 2022, enrolled 52 followed protocol set University Iowa. Follow-up...
Indices based on aldosterone/cortisol (A/C) concentration in the successfully cannulated adrenal vein (AV) and inferior vena cava (IVC) (AV/IVC) appear to be possible markers verify subtype of primary aldosteronism (PA) case inconclusive results sampling (AVS). The variability previous studies encouraged us calculate AV/IVC A/C cutoff values that could predict aetiology PA.This retrospective study included 96 patients who underwent AVS due PA between 2015 2020. derivation cohort ultimately...

Complete surgical removal of adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) represents the only chance long-term cure. In this study, we compared outcomes ACC patients depending on whether they had adrenal surgery performed in a high-volume (HVC) or low-volume (LVC) center. This retrospective study included 49 from Croatian Registry with European Network for Study Adrenal Tumors (ENSAT) stage I-III ACC, which 35 underwent HVC whereas 14 them were operated one LVCs. Patients LVCs significantly higher rate...

Background While numerous studies have explored treatment outcomes for the overall ACC patient cohort, data on subpopulation of patients with recurrent disease are limited. Therefore, aim this study was to assess in ACC.
The human testis is composed of seminiferous tubules and interstitium.Within the interstitium, residing Leydig cells can occasionally bear Reinke´s crystals.The aim current study was to investigate crystals in perivascular peritubular control infertile (cryptorchid) testes.For that purpose, bright field, confocal transmission electron microscopy were applied.The crystal lattice investigated by Fast Fourier Transformation number determined stereology.Results indicated a higher (in both...
We performed a retrospective case series study of 39 LPA in our center from April 2011 until
