Inter-observer variability in male pelvic-floor MRI measurements that might predict post-prostatectomy incontinence.

Introduction: Current studies are focusing on the relationship between anatomical variables in preoperative prostate MRI and the development of post-prostatectomy incontinence (PPI). Nevertheless, there is little evidence regarding the reliability of these measurements. The objective of this study was to analyze the concordance between urologists and radiologists for anatomical measurements that might be PPI predictors.

Randomized and Open Trial to Assess the Effectiveness of the Guided Pelvic Floor Exercises Pre-Radical Robotic Prostatectomy on the Improvement of Urinary Incontinence. Initial Results.

Introduction And Objectives: Radical prostatectomy has an impact on urinary continence. Many factors are involved in continence. The objective of this study is evaluate the effect of guided Pelvic Floor Exercises prior to robotic radical prostatectomy (RRP) on the rate of urinary incontinence compared with written information.

Anatomical predictors of long-term urinary incontinence after robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy: A systematic review.

Aims: There is scarce evidence of anatomical risk factors that might affect long-term post-prostatectomy incontinence (PPI) in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). This systematic review aims to identify anatomical measurements in preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that might be associated with increased risk of urinary incontinence (UI) 1 year after RALP.

Methods: A comprehensive search on Pubmed and Scopus databases up to November 2020 was performed.

Clinical course and risk factors for mortality from COVID-19 in patients with haematological malignancies.

Background: The impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in haematological patients (HP) has not been comprehensively reported.

Methods: We analysed 39 patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection and haematological malignancies. Clinical characteristics and outcomes were compared to a matched control group of 53 non-cancer patients with COVID-19.

Metabolic bone disease in patients diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease from Spain.

Background: The objective of this study was to analyse the prevalence of metabolic bone disease (MBD) in a cohort of Southern European patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and to identify associated risk factors in this population.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective, both cross-sectional and longitudinal study of MBD, assessed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), among patients diagnosed with IBD and previously recognized risk factors for this complication from two referral Spanish institutions.

Results: A total of 612 patients (58.

Comparative analysis of short - term functional outcomes and quality of life in a prospective series of brachytherapy and Da Vinci robotic prostatectomy.

Introduction: There is a growing interest in achieving higher survival rates with the lowest morbidity in localized prostate cancer (PC) treatment. Consequently, minimally invasive techniques such as low-dose rate brachytherapy (BT) and robotic-assisted prostatectomy (RALP) have been developed and improved. Comparative analysis of functional outcomes and quality of life in a prospective series of 51BT and 42Da Vinci prostatectomies DV Materials and Methods: Comparative analysis of functional outcomes and quality of life in a prospective series of 93 patients with low-risk localized PC diagnosed in 2011.

[Endosalpingiosis of the bladder. A case report].

Objective: To describe a case of endo-salpingiosis of bladder and review of the literature.

Method: A 38 years old women referred to an outpatient urology clinic with postmenstrual voiding symptoms.

Results: We studied her and ultrasound imaging detects tumor that was confirmed by cystoscopy.

Thrombocytosis and hematocrit as prognostic factors in renal carcinoma.

Objective: To examine the connection between preoperative thrombocytosis and hematocrit and survival in a group of patients operated for renal cell carcinoma.

Methods: Retrospective study with descriptive and statistical analysis of 139 patients with renal cell carcinoma treated surgically over the last 4 years in our Urology clinical unit. 116 (83,45%)were diagnosed at a localized clinical stage, whereas 23 (16,54%) presented as locally advanced or metastatic disease.
