Perioperative complications and surgical oncology outcomes in an initial study from 84 patients submitted to laparoscopic radical cystectomy.

Objectives: The Gold Standard treatment for a non-metastatic, invasive bladder cancer is an open radical cystoprostatectomy (ORCP). Laparoscopic radical cystoprostatectomy (LRCP) is still an experimental technique in evaluation. We describe our perioperative results defined as surgical and safety oncology variables.

Penile metastasis from primary bladder tumour.

Objective: We present a case of cutaneous metastasis caused by a bladder tumor.

Methods: 68 year old male, diagnosed with an ISUP high grade urothelial carcinoma, affecting the whole bladder wall, including the perivesicular fat and macroscopic metastasis in the left ilio-obturator chain (T3N2MO), who presents painless induration on the dorsal surface of the glans penis with non-exudative ulcerated areas, evolving over several months. Given the negative serology result, the lesion was biopsied for anatomopathological study.

[Tumors of the upper urinary tract. Our experience].

Objectives: To study the clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and evolution of upper urinary tract tumours.

Methods: We carried out a retrospective study on the upper urinary tract tumours treated in our centre, HCU Valladolid, between 1994 and 2007.

Results: 65 tumours were diagnosed, although only 59 were valid for the study.

[Renal hydatidosis].

Objective: Our purpose is to report a case of renal hydatidosis and its treatment.

Methods: The characteristics of the case are presented and discussed.

Results And Conclusions: The hydotic disease is a parasitic infestation caused by the larvae from echinococcosis granulosus.
