Recently, researchers have proposed perilesional sampling during prostate biopsies to avoid systematic of patients at risk cancer. The aim our study is evaluate the role undergoing fusion biopsies. A prospective cohort transrectal MRI were consecutively enrolled. All underwent (SB), targeted (TB) and within 10 mm from lesion (PB). detection rates different strategies determined. total 262 median age those enrolled was 70 years. mean BMI 27 kg/m2, volume 52 mL. PIRADS score ≥ 4 recorded in...
Patients on alpha-blockers (ABs) treatment may have an increased risk of adverse events (AEs). Aim our study was to compare real-life data neuro-vascular and sexual AEs associated with ABs based Eudra-Vigilance reported AEs.Eudra-Vigilance (EV) database is the system for managing analyzing information suspected reactions medicines which been authorized or being studied in clinical trials European Economic Area (EEA). We recorded number tamsulosin, alfuzosin, silodosin, prazosin doxazosin per...
The aim of our study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety a sutureless off-clamp robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (sl-oc RAPN), particularly its impact on renal function. A multicenter was conducted from April 2021 June 2022. Patients diagnosed with mass >2 cm PADUA score ≤6 consecutively underwent an sl-oc RAPN procedure. Tumor features, patients characteristics, intraoperative outcomes were assessed. An evaluation function performed preoperatively, again at 1 3 months after...
Insufficient physical activity (PA) may be a shared risk factor for the development of both metabolic syndrome (MetS) and prostate cancer (PCa). To investigate this correlation to develop nomogram able predict tumor diagnosis. Between 2016 2018, consecutive series men who underwent biopsy at three institutions were prospectively enrolled. PA was self-assessed by patients through Physical Activity Scale Elderly (PASE) questionnaire; MetS assessed according Adult Treatment Panel III criteria....
The aim of our study was to investigate noninvasive predictors for detrusor underactivity (DUA) in male patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and benign prostatic enlargement (BPE).A consecutive series aged 45 years or older non-neurogenic LUTS were prospectively enrolled. Patients underwent standard diagnostic assessment including International Prostatic Symptoms Score, uroflowmetry, urodynamic studies (cystometry pressure-flow studies), transrectal ultrasound the prostate,...
Stent encrustation is an uncommon event (13%) with a significant impact in patients' management. Aim of our study was to evaluate the available grading systems for encrusted stents.A retrospective analysis stents performed four Italian centers between 2006 and 2020. Encrusted were classified according classifications: Forgotten Calcificated (FECal) Score, Kidney Ureter Bladder (KUB) Visual Grading Ureteral Classification Encrustation Burden Score (EBS). Classifications evaluated predict...
The aim of our study was to compare the performance residents vs. consultants in transrectal fusion prostate biopsies (FUS-PBs), as well patient-reported comfort. Between January 2021 and October 2022, a consecutive series patients undergoing FUS-PBs were randomized into two groups: (A) performed by consultant; (B) trained (>50 procedures). All underwent with 12 systematic cores 3/6 target cores. detection rate number positive lesion compared between groups, patient's discomfort after...
