Summary Peyronie's disease ( PD ) is a common condition which results in penile curvature making sexual intercourse difficult or impossible. Collagenase clostridium histolyticum CCH the first licensed drug for treatment of and indicated patients with palpable plaque deformity at least 30° curvature. However, only few monocentric studies are available current literature this national multicentric study focusing on new treatment. In five Italian centres, 135 have completed three injections...
Recent evidences demonstrated that male factor alone is responsible for about 30% cases of infertility. Human follicle-stimulating hormone (hFSH) has been introduced to increase sperm concentration, spermatogonial population, or both natural assisted pregnancy rates (PRs) in oligozoospermic subjects with normal concentrations gonadotropins.Fifty infertile men affected by idiopathic azoospermia were enrolled this study, after undergoing medical history, physical and clinical examination,...
Abstract Background Urinary continence (UC) recovery dramatically affects quality of life after robot‐assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Membranous urethral length (MUL) has been the most studied anatomical variable associated with UC recovery. Objective To investigate whether levator ani thickness (LAT), assessed multi‐parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI), correlates RARP. Design, Setting, and Participants The study included 209 patients treated RARP by expert surgeons...
Mediterranean diet has shown a protective role against cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer onset, microvascular damage and dementia in many trials. Our purpose is the assessment of correlation between physical activity, diet, body mass index (BMI), depression erection disorder (ED).After having signed disclaimer to study participation, we administered IIEF 15 questionnaire (International Index Erectil Function), Hamilton for major depression, Med-Diet Questionnaire, Ipaq Questionnaire...
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess the early and mid-term functional outcomes Endoscopic Robot Assisted Simple Enucleation (ERASE) verified through a standardized tumor-resection reporting system (Surface Intermediate Base [SIB] score) investigate for predictors renal function (RF) loss in patients with T1 tumors treated tertiary referral institution. METHODS Data 553 ERASE were analyzed. Only SIB score 0-1 negative oncological follow-up included. A ≥25% drop from baseline...
Abstract Background Bladder cancer is the ninth most common type of worldwide. In past, radical cystectomy via open surgery has been considered gold-standard treatment for muscle invasive bladder cancer. However, in recent years there a progressive increase use robot-assisted laparoscopic cystectomy. The aim current project to investigate surgical, oncological, and functional outcomes patients with who undergo comparing three different surgical techniques (robotic-assisted, laparoscopic,...
Low-risk prostate cancer (PCa) is currently managed also with active surveillance (AS). However, up to 40% of patients in AS may require radical treatment at a long-term follow-up. The aim our study further investigate the role prostate-specific antigen (PSA) density AS.A prospective observational on PCa naïve PSA<20 ng/ml submitted biopsy was conducted. Data family history PCa, PSA biopsy, and digitorectal examination were collected. Prostate volume calculated during TRUS. Bioptic cores...
Cystic nephroma is a benign kidney tumor, which presents as unilateral cystic mass without solid elements. We presented the first case of treated with robotic nephron-sparing surgery in pediatric patient. The procedure adopted was robot-assisted simple enucleation lesion, arterial clamping.
Objective: The aim of the study is evaluation efficacy and safety treatment with topical alprostadil (Vitaros © ) in post-robot assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) rehabilitation therapy patients erectile dysfunction (ED). Methods: Seventy-four were enrolled underwent non-nerve-sparing RARP. Inclusion criteria: age <75, preoperatively International Index Erectile Function (IIEF-5) >16, erection hardness score (EHS) ⩾2, weekly sexual intercourse ⩾1, affirmative answers to Sexual...
To investigate the role of Cumulative Cancer Length (CCL) and PCa positive core number (PCapcn) in random prostate biopsies as predictors Adverse Pathology (AP) at definitive pathology.We prospectively enrolled patients submitted to ultrasound guided for suspect our center since 2016. Inclusion criteria were PSA <20 ng/ml or >3 age<71 years. Data on CCL Grade Group (GG) biopsy pathology after Radical Prostatectomy (RP) collected. AP was defined pT3 higher TNM, Positive Surgical Margin (>2mm)...
Introduction: The role of reservoir position was investigated in this series patients treated with three-pieces penile prosthesis implantation (PPI). outcomes and the patients’ reported quality life after insertion balloon retropubic space, or Retzius’s space (SOR), were compared who received an intraperitoneal (IP). study aimed to analyze how anatomy SOR influenced long-term results PPI, especially have been previously exposed pelvic surgery radiotherapy. has usually identified as ideal for...
According to ISTAT data, actually 6% of italian population has been constituted by strangers. About 600.000 are minors and 1 child over 10 is a son an immigrant. So paediatrics fully involved in the phenomenon immigration. To point out stranger’s needs health we have taken account flow reasons access Policlinico S. Matteo, Pavia, Paediatric Emergency Service, during 4 months, representative 2008 year. The results obtained reported that pathologies for those immigrants go more frequently...
Guillain-Barre syndrome is a rare inflammatory autoimmune disorder of the peripheral nerves, characterized by tingling, weakness, or paralysis in legs, arms, breathing muscles, and face. The exact cause unknown. However, about 70% patients, recent infection vaccine surgery serves as trigger to an response. first symptoms include: • Progressive muscle weakness on both sides Prickly, tingling sensations, usually feet hands. Pain significant complaint. Loss normal reflexes. Symptoms may develop...
The diagnosis of cervical lymphadenitis relies classically on the association epidemiological, clinical and bacteriological criteria. Regional lymphadenopathy commonly involves only a single node localization. should exclude malformations (the most common laterocervical region are cysts fistulas second cleft followed by those first cleft, fourth pouch thymic cysts) but it is also important to malignant disease. However, can be problematic viral, bacterial mycobacterial pathogen which might...
L’ipertrofia tonsillare e una condizione molto frequente nell’eta infantile adolescenziale, dovuta a continui stimoli immunitari provenienti dall’ambiente esterno. Tale puo essere considerata fisiologica salvo in alcuni casi dove l’ipertrofia tale da modificare la pervieta delle vie aeree fino provocare deficit di ossigenazione o difficolta alla deglutizione.
