[Simultaneous robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy and robot-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair].

Introduction: An inguinal hernia is frequently identified in men with prostate cancer, which is likely due to similar risk factors, including age, gender and smoking.

Aim: To assess the safety and feasibility of performing concomitant robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and robotic-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) inguinal hernia repair.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the treatment outcomes of 23 patients who underwent RARP between January 2022 and June 2023.

[Minimizing the number of trocars during laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. Surgical technique].

Introduction: During last 20 years in urology there has been a number of significant advancements, which were due to the introduction into practice and improvement of minimally invasive techniques. Development of laparoscopic surgery allowed to actively introduce these procedures in various kidney disorders, including renal tumors. Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is also undergoing changes in order to improve the technique.

[Robot-assisted left-side partial nephrectomy with a segmental resection of left lower ureter and Boari reconstruction].

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for more than 90% of cases of malignant kidney tumors and represents 2-3% of all malignancies worldwide. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), the most common type of RCC, comprising 70-80% of cases. RCC most commonly metastasizes to the lungs, bones, lymph nodes, liver, adrenal glands, and brain.

Velocity map imaging with no spherical aberrations.

Velocity map imaging (VMI) is a powerful technique to deduce the kinetic energy of ions or electrons that are produced from a large volume in space with good resolution. The size of the acceptance volume is determined by the spherical aberrations of the ion optical system. Here we present an analytical derivation for velocity map imaging with no spherical aberrations.

Cascade Infrared Thermal Photon Emission.

The later stages of cooling of molecules and clusters in the interstellar medium are dominated by emission of vibrational infrared radiation. With the development of cryogenic storage it has become possible to experimentally study these processes. Recent storage ring results demonstrate that intramolecular vibrational redistribution takes place within the cooling process, and an harmonic cascade model has been used to interpret the data.
