Data from patients with suspicious lesions on multiparametric magnetic resonance (mpMRI) and a diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) who underwent radical prostatectomy (RP) were collected. The aim was to compare csPCa sites identified through whole-mount pathological analysis (WMA) after RP PI-RADS ≥ 3 mpMRI, foci detected targeted-biopsy (TB) or combined targeted + systematic biopsy (TSB). A paired Student's t-test Pearson correlation performed evaluate the agreement...
<b><i>Purpose:</i></b> The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has put a substantial burden on the Italian healthcare system, resulting in restructuring of hospitals to care for COVID-19 patients. However, this likely impacted access patients experiencing other conditions. We aimed quantify impact with urgent/emergent urological conditions throughout Italy. <b><i>Materials and Methods:</i></b> A questionnaire was sent 33 units AGILE...
The aim of this study was to compare the perioperative and functional results between laparoscopic robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (LSP RASP) Holmium laser enucleation prostate (HoLEP) in volumes ≥120 mL. primary endpoint investigate minimally invasive techniques management large gland volume, secondary evaluate frequency type postoperative complications according Clavien Dindo Classification.This multicenter conducted on male patients with LUTS associated BPO candidates for surgical...
We conducted a cross-sectional study of 156 ambulatory HIV-infected homosexual or bisexual men to assess and compare the prevalence characteristics sexual dysfunction according treatment combinations (group A, protease inhibitor [PI] treatment; group B, no PI C, interrupted >1 month previously). The was based on self-administered 163-item questionnaire that included French translation International Index Erectile Function, five sections Derogatis Sexual Functioning Inventory, open questions....
Purpose: The accuracy of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) heavily relies on image quality, as evidenced by the evolution prostate quality (PI-QUAL) scoring system for evaluation clinically significant cancer (csPC). This study aims to evaluate impact PI-QUAL scores in detecting csPC within PI-RADS 4 and 5 lesions. Methods: We retrospectively selected from our database all mpMRI performed January 2019 March 2022. Inclusion criteria were follows: (1) acquired institution...
Background: The abuse of antimicrobical drugs has increased the resistance microorganisms to treatments, thus make urinary tract infections (UTIs) more difficult eradicate. Among natural substances used prevent UTI, literature provided preliminary data beneficial effects D-mannose, N-acetylcysteine, and Morinda citrifolia fruit extract, due their complementary mechanism action which contributes respectively limit bacteria adhesion urothelium, destroy bacterial pathogenic biofilm,...

Background and Objectives: The impact of lifestyle on lower urinary tract symptoms has been deeply evaluated in recent years; however, studies the young population are missing. aim this study is to evaluate alcohol intake, tobacco cannabinoid smoking, physical activity, dietary regime sexual function adults under 30 years age. Methods: A prospectively enrolled healthy both sexes age was selected. Young people with comorbidities were excluded. All participants assessed by completing an...

Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate relationship between prostatic apical shape and continence recovery after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in a large multicentric cohort. Materials Methods: Data patients who underwent transperitoneal RARP at 10 referral robotic centers January 2017 December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients stratified into four groups based on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) apex shape. Pre-, intra-, postoperative...
Abstract Seminal vesicle neoplasms are extremely rare. Schwannoma is a benign tumor of the peripheral nerve sheath composed Schwann cells. Most these tumors silent and become symptomatic with compression adjacent organs nerves. We present case 65-year-old man history predominant storage lower urinary tract symptoms. Prostate-specific antigen was within normal ranges, imaging documented nodular lesion in prostate, one left seminal another to right bladder wall. successfully performed prostate...
Background: Recent evidence has shown that insulin resistance (IR), a hallmark of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, predicts bladder cancer (BC) presence. However, the best surrogate marker IR in predicting BC is still unclear. This study examined relationships among ten markers and presence BC. Methods: Data from 209 patients admitted to two urology departments September 2021 October 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Individuals (median age 70 years) divided into groups (123 86 patients,...
Background: Minimally invasive surgery has improved patient outcomes but raises environmental concerns due to carbon emissions from disposable instruments, energy consumption, and hospital resource use. This study evaluates the footprint of robot-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomies. Methods: A multicenter prospective analyzed 162 patients undergoing or partial (RAPN, LPN) radical nephrectomy (RARN, LRN). Life cycle assessment (LCA) quantified CO2 instrument use, sterilization, consumption....
