Abstract Purpose Transperineal laser ablation (TPLA) is a new minimally-invasive surgical treatment for patients with benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). We report the perioperative and mid-term functional results of first 100 consecutively undergoing TPLA at our institution. Methods Clinical data from consecutive institution April 2021 to July 2023 were prospectively collected. Primary endpoints postoperative changes in IPSS, QoL MSHQ 3-item questionnaires Qmax post-void residual volume...
To explore the perspective of urological patients on possibility to defer elective surgery due fear contracting COVID-19.All scheduled for procedures malignant or benign diseases at 2 high-volume centers were administered a questionnaire, through structured telephone interviews, between April 24 and 27, 2020. The questionnaire included 3 questions: (1) In light COVID-19 pandemic, would you planned surgical intervention? (2) If yes, when be willing undergo surgery? (3) What do consider...
Transperineal interstitial laser ablation of the prostate (TPLA) has been shown to be a novel option for minimally invasive treatment benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). Herein we provide an educational step-by-step overview our technique TPLA, focusing on standardization its surgical steps, logistical aspects performance in outpatient setting, as well early perioperative and functional outcomes. The procedure can performed clinic with patient lithotomic position. After local disinfection,...
Background: The aim of our study is to evaluate the prevalence and predictive factors short- (30 d) mid-term continence in a contemporary cohort patients treated with robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) without any posterior or anterior reconstruction at referral academic center. Methods: Data from undergoing RALP between January 2017 March 2021 were prospectively collected. was performed by three highly experienced surgeons following principles Montsouris technique,...
Objective: To report a case of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for two highly complex renal tumors in patient with Horseshoe kidney (HSK), focusing on the utility hyperaccuracy three-dimensional (HA3D) virtual models accurate preoperative and intraoperative planning procedure. Methods: A 74-year-old Caucasian male was referred to our Unit incidental detection masses left portion HSK. The 50 × 55 mm, larger, predominantly exophytic mass located at middle-lower pole left-sided (PADUA...
In this paper, we aimed to highlight functional and safety outcomes of highly-comorbid patients undergoing transperineal laser ablation (TPLA) prostate at a referral academic center. Patients TPLA from April 2021 February 2023 with moderate severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), volume ranging 30 100 mL, an American Society Anesthesiologists (ASA) Score ≥3 were included. All evaluated as unfit for standard surgery. Procedures performed in outpatient setting using local anesthesia....
Objective To date, several ultra-minimally-invasive surgical techniques are available for the treatment of male LUTS due to benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). Herein we report our preliminary experience with SoracteLite™ TPLA carefully selected patients BPO. Methods Data from all consecutive undergoing at institution between April 2021 and February 2022 were prospectively collected in a specific database. regarding functional sexual outcomes evaluated by validated questionnaires...
Despite transrectal prostate biopsy (TRPB) being still widespread globally, the EAU Guidelines strongly recommend transperineal approach, due to reported lower infectious risk. Our study aims evaluate impact of a standardized clinical pathway for TRPB on post-operative complications. We prospectively collected data from all patients undergoing mpMRI-targeted at our Academic Centre January 2020 December 2022. All followed standardized, structured multistep pathway. Post-procedural...
Importance There is a high level of public and professional interest related to potential safety issues the COVID-19 vaccines; however, no serious adverse cardiovascular events were reported in phase 3 randomized controlled trials their efficacy. Moreover, none case series from United States (US) these complications have been population-based. Objectives To estimate reporting rates myocarditis pericarditis US using Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), assess if disproportionally...
