Is Unilateral Lymphadenectomy an Option in Selected Patients with Prostate Cancer?

Background: Evidence regarding the relationship between the laterality of lymph node invasion (LNI) and the prostatic lobe affected is limited. Our aim was to review our records of patients with exclusively unilateral localised prostate cancer (PCa) with metastatic LN involvement.

Methods: Between 2006 and 2023, after radical prostatectomy and extended pelvic lymphadenectomy at our centre, thirty patients with intermediate-high risk unilateral PCa and pN1 disease were identified.

Genitourinary Lesions Due to Monkeypox.

Background: Since May 2022, 31 000 cases of monkeypox infection have been reported in nonendemic areas.

Objective: To describe a series of cases of monkeypox with genitourinary involvement.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This was a prospective observational study of men diagnosed with monkeypox disease with genitourinary involvement.

Efficacy, tolerance and predictors of response to the treatment with hyperbaric oxygen therapy for patients with hemorrhagic radiation cystitis.

Objectives: The aim was to study the efficacy and tolerance in patients with haemorrhagic radiation-induced cystitis (HRC) treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HOT) and analyze which factors were related to the response to the treatment.

Material And Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients treated with HOT for HRC symptoms in a provincial referral centre from 2010 to 2020. We evaluated clinical response to treatment, number of hospitalizations due to HRC and subjective response using the PGI-I questionnaire.

Transurethral Drainage of Prostatic Abscess Using 120 W Holmium Laser Technology.

Prostatic abscess is an infrequent but serious pathology that could be treated by ultrasound-guided puncture, transurethral resection, or open surgery. We present a case of a 72-year-old male with a 3x5 cm prostatic abscess in the right lobe showed in abdominal computed tomography (CT). In the blood test, he presented coagulopathy.

[Metabolic alterations and stones in patients with orthotopic ileal diversions. Case description.].
