The aim of our study is to compare 2 models for predicting the presence of high-grade prostate cancer (Gleason score 7 or more).
Methods: We evaluated data from 1000 men with PSA less than 50 ng/mL, who underwent prostate biopsy.
Introduction: The aim of our study is to assess the incidence of the surgical approach in scrotal trauma.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively assessed both penetrating and blunt cases of scrotal trauma observed from 2002 to 2012. For each case we considered various parameters such as the age of the patient, whether the type of trauma was penetrating or blunt, whether or not a surgical approach was taken, whether or not there were polytrauma, whether or not an orchiectomy was performed, and how many days had elapsed since the first urological observation of the trauma.
