(1) Background: Somatic and germline alterations can be commonly found in prostate cancer (PCa) patients. The aim of our present study was to perform a comprehensive review the current literature order examine impact BRCA mutations context PCa as well their significance genetic biomarkers. (2) Methods: A narrative all available performed. Only “landmark” publications were included. (3) Results: Overall, number patients who harbor BRCA2 mutation range between 1.2% 3.2%. However, BRCA1 are...
Prostate biopsy is the cornerstone in diagnostic pathway of prostate cancer. It's normally performed using local or general anesthesia. The prostate's high sensitivity to mechanical stimuli and irritation due its complex nerve supply, mainly from pelvic plexus. It originates sacral plexus, with both parasympathetic sympathetic nerves having a role prostatic innervation. As procedure involves needle penetration into sensitive tissues, it essential ensure effective peribioptic pain management,...
Ureterocalicostomy refers to the anastomosis of lower pole calyces with ureter after excision hydronephrotic renal (1, 2). Indications for ureterocalicostomy include previous failed pyeloplasty, ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) anatomical abnormalities, such as intrarenal pelvis or short (3) and proximal ureteral strictures (4). The purpose this video is demonstrate technique Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic (RALUC) in a patient UPJO pelvis. Preoperatively, retrograde...
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of preoperative training in an experimental setting on preparation and docking avatera robotic system. Materials Methods: Two different surgical groups (consisting two nurses, one assistant, operating surgeon) attended initial robot draping procedures. Group 1 was involved 10 robotic-assisted operations while 2 trained dry lab using artificial insufflated abdominal model (10 sessions). The decrease time needed for evaluated. After completion training, each...
Endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery (ECIRS) provides simultaneous retrograde and percutaneous access to the upper urinary tract. The purpose of this study is present revised data, tips tricks, technique modifications arising from our five-year experience with ECIRS. data 62 patients who underwent nonpapillary prone ECIRS January 2019 November 2023 were prospectively collected. All cases performed in position. Inclusion criteria complex stone stones multiple calyces requiring either...
(1) Background: This study aims to evaluate how different irrigation settings and the use of ureteral access sheaths (UASs) varying sizes impact intrarenal pressure (IRP) during flexible ureteroscopy (fURS) procedures in pigs. (2) Methods: utilized three anesthetized female A novel ureteroscope with ability continuously record live was used perform settings. Ureteroscopy performed without UAS 11/13 12/14 at ureteropelvic junction. Two methods were employed for each parameter: one using...
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy is a minimally invasive, safe procedure preferred in the management of localized prostate cancer. In this study, we present our initial experience with avatera™ system (avateramedical GmbH, Jena, Germany) robot-assisted prostatectomy.METHODS: A total fourteen patients underwent using newly introduced department from June 2022 to October 2022. The primary endpoints study were time and successful completion operation, hemoglobin drop presence...
Purpose: To evaluate the utilization of novel Avatera system in urological operations according to IDEAL-D framework recommendations for high-risk invasive surgical devices. Materials and Methods: Three surgeons attempted perform 23 upper lower urinary tract on human cadavers live porcine models using system. Total operative time duration substeps were evaluated. Surgical performance was assessed with Global Evaluative Assessment Robotic Skills (GEARS) score. Suturing rated technical...
Abstract Purpose Testicular Germ Cell Tumors (TGCTs) are the most frequent solid malignancies in young adult men. Regardless of differences their cell origin, all TGCTs considered highly curable malignancies. However, approximately 3–5% do not respond to platinum-based chemotherapies. The purpose our paper is investigate whether immunohistochemical expression MLH1 and REV-7 can be used as predictive tissue markers for TGCTs. Material Methods main demographic clinicopathological...
The prostatic utricle, also known as the utricle of prostate or Müllerian duct cyst, is a small blind-ended tubular structure found within gland some males. In this work, we report case 15-month-old boy, with history recurrent epididymitis, presenting new-onset left scrotal swelling and pain. On cystourethrogram, patient had an enlarged (EPU). A successful minimally invasive (laparoscopic) approach for total excision cyst was performed, while injury vas deferens avoided. Identification...
The aim of this study is the presentation an endoscopic therapeutic approach for three patients with a solitary kidney who were diagnosed urothelial cancer upper tract.
Abstract Background We sought to clarify the role of testosterone substitution in terms insulin resistance and metabolic profile dysregulation hypogonadism. Methods Twenty-nine male Wistar rats aged 11–12 weeks were divided three groups: control (C, n = 10), sham operation; orchiectomy (ORX, 9); + (ORX+T, 10). Blood samples obtained at day 1 (operation), after 10 days (intramuscular T injection 100 μg/100 g b.w.), 25 (second injection) 40 (sacrifice). Results Hormonal replacement...
