In intermediate/high risk prostate cancer, preoperative staging exams are mandatory. The aim of these imaging studies is to evaluate eventual lymph nodes involvement and/or metastatic spread the tumor. Nevertheless, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MRI), bone scan modalities have controversial sensitivity. Introduction PET-PSMA and its use also as exam, seems improve diagnostic accuracy due favorable negative predictive value. this study was a exam in predicting cancer (PCa) patients.
Abstract Background Intrathecal baclofen therapy (ITB) is a well-established treatment modality for severe spasticity, but it burdened by the need periodic pump refills. The introduction of new formulation with an extended stability 180 days (Neteka, Nordic Group BV) could decrease frequency We aimed at analyzing clinical and economic impact Neteka in our outpatient facility. Methods Forty-eight patients implanted device intrathecal infusion, who shifted from standard to Neteka, were...
Partial nephrectomy (PN) has become the standard of treatment for most T1 renal masses and is suitable selected T2 cortical masses. In this setting, management complex (CRM) requires a thorough understanding potential risks benefits both PN radical (RN). Indeed, thanks to advent robotic surgery, indications have expanded include larger tumors CRM, despite associated surgical complexity oncologic risks. The decision-making process CRM with or RN complex. Thus, current review aims explore...
Penile cancer is a rare but aggressive malignancy, with inguinal lymph node involvement representing key prognostic indicator (1, 2). NCCN guidelines recommend prophylactic dissection (ILND) for intermediate-to-high-risk patients (pT1b, ≥T2) non-palpable nodes, aiming early staging and improved outcomes (3). The SP-approach employs single incision advanced robotic instrumentation to enhance maneuverability, reduce morbidity, optimize recovery. Widely used in kidney prostate surgery (4, 5),...
Pre-engagement hypospadias repairs are not uncommon in developed countries like India. Male genital malformations that associated with voiding dysfunction often underreported by families or male patients until the boy reaches marriageable age. At point, they seek consultation, fearing rejection potential partners and desiring a rapid possibly single-stage repair. Therefore, it is for primary repair to be performed after puberty, once penis has fully developed. This may also have consequences...
Penile cancer (PC) is a rare malignancy with poor prognosis. To date, reliable preoperative biomarkers for lymph node status and prognosis are still lacking. This study aims to explore the potential role of platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) as predictor inguinal invasion in PC patients. Retrospective analysis was conducted on anamnestic, clinical, laboratory data patients who underwent surgical treatment between January 2016 October 2023. Inguinal lymphadenectomy performed per EAU...
The fibrous tumors of the pleura are rare primary tumors, accounting for 5% malignant pleural neoplasms, which generally originate from sub-mesothelial mesenchymal tissue visceral pleura. These tumours exhibit clinical benign behavior although 12% solitary can be and have worse outcomes. considered "giant" when lesion > 15 cm. Surgical treatment is best choice both neoplasms. We retrospectively analyzed main case series giant In addition we report our experience a 76-year-old woman treated...
Background: Men with localized invasive penile cancer (PC) can be treated organ-sparing treatments different functional and aesthetical outcomes. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate sexual outcomes in patients PC confined glans that underwent wide local excision (WLE) vs. glansectomy urethral glanduloplasty. Methods: Complete data from 60 were analyzed at our institution 2017 2022. Patients asked for personal habits clinical features. was assessed a visit imaging techniques. At...

Similar periods anemic, iron-deficient dogs on diet low cause no increase degree anemia inhibition cell Radioiron appears only traces abscess exudates.

Post-chemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (PC-RPLND) represents an integral component of the management patients with non-seminomatous germ cell tumor (NSGCT). Modified templates have been proposed to minimize surgical morbidity procedure. Moreover, implementation robotic surgery in this setting has explored. We report our experience unilateral post-chemotherapy robot-assisted (PC-rRPLND) for clinical Stages IIA and IIB NSGCTs.A retrospective single institution review was...
Background: The use of intra-fractional monitoring and correction prostate position with the Image Guided Radio Therapy (IGRT) system can increase spatial accuracy dose delivery. Clarity is a used for intrafraction prostate-motion management, it provides real-time visualization transperineal ultrasound. aim this study was to evaluate Clarity-IGRT on proper alignment monitoring, its impact Planning Tumor Volume margin urinary rectal toxicity in elderly patients not eligible surgery. Patients...
We aimed to report sexual and reproductive outcomes following post-chemotherapy robot-assisted retroperitoneal unilateral lymph node dissection (PC-rRPLND) for non-seminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCTs) at a high-volume cancer center. collected records regarding of patients undergoing PC-rRPLND stage II NSGCTs from January 2018 November 2021. Preoperative postoperative (at 12 months) ejaculatory function as well erectile function, based on the International Index Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5)...
Abstract Acute diverticulitis (AD) is associated with relevant morbidity/mortality and increasing worldwide, thus becoming a major issue for national health systems. AD may be challenging, as clinical relevance varies widely, ranging from asymptomatic picture to life-threatening conditions, continuously evolving diagnostic tools, classifications, management. A 33-item-questionnaire was administered residents surgeons analyze the actual practice verify real spread of recent recommendations,...
Abstract Rationale: Robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) is the most frequent strategy used for surgical remedy of patients with localized prostate cancer. Although there awareness about potential patient positioning nerve injuries, iatrogenic lesions are less described in literature. Here, we report 3 cases who presented neuropathic painful complications due to RALP-associated lesions. Patient concerns: A 62-year-old (case 1), a 72-year-old male 2), and 57-year-old 3) at clinic...
