[Video endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy in penile cancer: Systematic review.].

Objectives: Penile cancer is not very frequent. To control the disease oncologically, we must perform inguinal lymphadenectomy in cases of high-risk histology, poor prognosis and palpable lymph nodes. The open inguinal lymphadenectomy has a high rate of morbidity.

[Urological and psychological approach of secondary complications to penile aesthetic modifications].

Objectives: Due to the scarcity of scientific articles that review the technical alternatives available for aesthetic modifications in the penis that are the cause of subsequent uro-andrological problems, the existing literature is reviewed after the assistance of a penile infection by injection of subcutaneous hyaluronic acid with aesthetic purposes.

Material And Methods: A 38-year-old male patient with no medical or psychiatric remarkable reports who came to the emergency room due to inflammation and abscess in penile skin after injection of hyaluronic acid. Surgical treatment was required and degloving and excision of affected skin was performed, with subsequent satisfactory evolution.

[Preventive management of bone disease in advanced prostate cancer.].

Objectives: Prostate cancer is linked to bone disease by two different entities. On one hand, androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) usually causes osteoporosis, on the other a great number of patients with advanced prostate cancer will present bone that condition not only their vital prognosis but also an important quality of life deterioration.

Methods: We performed a bibliographic review on both the physiology and therapy of osteoporosis secondary to ADT and bone metastasis in prostatic neoplasias.

[Evaluation of a seminal vesicle biopsy protocol simultaneous to diagnostic prostate biopsy. Analysis of indication criteria.].

Objectives: To analyze the indication criteria used for conducting seminal vesicles biopsies as well as the diagnostic capacity of other variables involved.

Methods: We present the results of an observational and retrospective study (May 2006 - December 2012) using a sample of 140 patients to whom seminal vesicles biopsies was performed in a first set of prostate biopsy. They were patients eligible for curative treatment and presented any of the following criteria: PSA ≥15 ng/ml, suspicion of neoplastic seminal vesicle invasion on transrectal US, and/or suspicious node in the prostate base on DRE or transrectal US.

Seminal vesicle biopsies: an useful staging procedure-exposure of seminal vesicle biopsies protocol and review of the literature.

Background And Objectives: Although new MRI techniques have a high sensitivity but varying specificity with regard to diagnosing the seminal vesicle invasion (SVI) of prostate cancer, the low availability and high cost involved demands incorporating an inexpensive and accessible technique that might support adequate staging. Currently, uniformity does not exist with regard to the indication criteria of seminal vesicle biopsies (SVBs). Our objective is to analyse the protocol of SVBs at Morales Meseguer Hospital and conduct an exhaustive review of the literature in this field.

[Diagnostic and therapeutic management of renal hydatidosis].

Objective: Renal hydatidosis is caused by Echinococcus granulosus and is extremely rare, accounting for 3-4% of the cases of hydatidosis, being the third site after liver and lungs. It generally remains asymptomatic for years and the most frequent symptoms are pain, feeling of flank heaviness, and dysuria. In front of a compatible clinical picture, we studied the diagnostic, therapeutic, and follow-up schemes reviewing the literature.

[Frontal mass simulating lipoma as a clinical presentation of prostatic adenocarcinoma].

Objective: To report one case of metastatic prostatic carcinoma with a gaudy presentation as a lump which resulted to be a cutaneous metastasis.

Methods: We describe the debut in a patient, who thanks to the pathologic analysis of a lesion mimicking a lipoma, which was reported as adenocarcinoma, was worked up for prostatic adenocarcinoma and diagnosis was reached. We performed a bibliographic review using an electronic bibliographic search in PubMed (MEDLINE) using the terms "Prostatic Neoplasm" (MesH) AND "Neoplasm Metastasis" (MesH) AND "cutaneous" (free text).

[Voiding symptoms as presentation of an intravesical foreign body].

Objectives: The presence of intravesical foreign bodies is exceptional; it is not a common emergency. Most foreign bodies have a sexual-erotic origin, although we cannot forget others such as elements left by the surgeon in the surgical field. We performed a bibliographic review on the topic.

[Renal colic in a patient with crossed renal ectopia].

Objectives: To report a new case of renal colic in a patient with crossed renal ectopia and L-shaped kidney, and to perform a bibliographic review.

Methods And Results: A 33-year-old male patient consulted for abdominal right pain. Ultrasound and CT showed a L-Shaped Kidney with left renal and ureteral stones.

Retroperitoneal abscesses--analysis of a series of 66 cases.

Objective: To analyze our experience with the management of retroperitoneal abscesses.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective study was made of 66 patients with retroperitoneal abscesses treated at our hospital from January 1975 to July 2001 for the purpose of analyzing the diagnosis and treatment of these rare infections. In each case, we analyzed patient characteristics, abscess location and origin, predisposing factors, clinical presentation, microbiology, radiographic findings, treatment, and outcome.

[Encrusted pyelitis in patients with urinary diversion].

Objective: This is a case of Encrusted Pyelitis (EP) caused by Corynebacterium urealyticum (CU) in a patient who had undergone a cystectomy and Bricker type urinary diversion 28 months beforehand.

Methods/results: After the immediate post-operative period no urinary catheterisation or any other urological procedure was performed on the patient. Before surgery, the patient presented non functional of the right kidney, secondary to a lithiasic obstructive uropathy.

[[Primary psoas abscess. Presentation of 3 cases].

Objective: To present 3 cases of primary abscess of the psoas muscle. The clinical features, diagnostic tests, treatment and outcome are discussed.

Methods/results: Three patients that presented with fever and pain referred to the renal and/or iliac fossa are described.

[PCNA and Ki-67 expression in locally confined renal adenocarcinoma. Relationship with various histopathologic variables and prognostic significance].

Objective: PCNA and Ki-67 expression are used as markers of cellular proliferation and different studies have investigated their value as prognostic indicators for renal adenocarcinoma. The aim of this study was to determine PCNA and Ki-67 expression in locally confined renal adenocarcinoma, their relationship with other histopathological variables and prognostic significance.

Methods: 58 cases of renal adenocarcinoma stages pT1-T3a N0 M0 (TNM 1997), treated by curative radical or partial nephrectomy were reviewed.
