Perioperative Outcomes of Inguinal Hernioplasty along with Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP).

Purpose: Inguinal hernias and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) can coexist in about one fifth of patients undergoing BPH surgery. There is scarce evidence about performing laser enucleation along with open inguinal hernia repair. Our goal is to describe the perioperative outcomes of performing both surgeries in the same operating session compared to doing HoLEP alone.

[The importance of timely and safe care. Report of one case].

We report a 32-year-old woman with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis undergoing a nephrectomy for left xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis with a coralliform calculus and septic shock. Her clinical evolution was torpid, subfebrile, with persistent elevation of inflammatory parameters and with the finding of intra-abdominal collections interpreted as post-surgical. Finally faced with microbiological evidence of infection of the collections, the patient was operated and tended to improve.

Predicting malignancy in small testicular lesions.

Introduction: Small testicular lesions ≤20 mm (STL) detected by ultrasound (US), usually non-palpable, have been reported to be benign in up to 80% of cases. Thus, partial orchiectomy with or without frozen section examination and surveillance has been advocated for these kinds of lesions. We seek to report the proportion of benign lesions in testicular tumors ≤20 mm detected by US in our population and explore the predicting factors of malignancy.

A preoperative model to predict pT3 upstaging in clinically localized renal cell carcinoma.

Introduction: Patients upstaged to pT3 after partial nephrectomy (PN) may be at an increased risk of disease progression compared to those patients submitted to radical nephrectomy (RN). We sought to identify preoperative factors predicting pT3 upstaging in localized renal cell carcinoma.

Material And Methods: Patients submitted to nephrectomy for clinically localized (cT1-cT2) renal cell carcinoma between 2011 and 2016 were identified from a prospective registry, those presenting with locally advanced or metastatic disease were excluded.

[Radiation organizing pneumonia: report of one case].

We report a 64-years-old woman who underwent sparing mastectomy with adjuvant radiotherapy for breast cancer. One month after the end of radiotherapy, she presented with malaise, fever, fatigue, cough and migratory bilateral pulmonary infiltrates on serial radiological images. The microbiological studies of broncha alveolar lavage were negative.
