Laparoscopic vs open transcapsular adenomectomy (Millin): a comparative study of perioperative outcomes and complications.

Introduction: Laparoscopic adenomectomy for prostates larger than 80 mL is still a topic of debate. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the perioperative outcomes and complications between open Millin (OM) and laparoscopic Millin (LM) adenomectomy.

Material And Methods: Perioperative data and complications were retrospectively collected from patients submitted to Millin procedure from August 2019 to August 2022 in a tertiary centre, and OM and LM were compared.

Salvage treatments after focal therapy for prostate cancer - a comprehensive review.

Objective: To review the literature on salvage treatments after focal therapy (FT) for prostate cancer (PCa).

Materials And Methods: A non-systematic literature review was conducted on PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science up to March 15, 2024, for studies that assessed salvage treatment outcomes in patients with recurrent PCa after primary FT. Original prospective and retrospective studies with more than 10 patients were included.

Association of the Calcification Score of the Abdominal Aorta, Common Iliac, and Renal Arteries with Outcomes in Living Kidney Donors.

Background: Vascular calcification is an ever-more-common finding in protocoled pre-transplant imaging in living kidney donors. We intended to explore whether a connection could be found between the Agatston calcification score, prior to kidney donation, and post-donation renal function.

Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of 156 living kidney donors who underwent living donor nephrectomy between January 2010 and December 2016.

Sapheno-Cavernous Shunt: A Vascular Approach In The Treatment Of Ischemic Priapism.

Priapism is an urologic emergency defined as an erection that persists for more than 4 hours and is unrelated or lasts beyond sexual stimulation. Ischemic priapism, caused by prolonged venous occlusion within the corporal bodies, works as a compartment syndrome that requires prompt resolution in order to preserve erectile function. We present two cases of ischemic priapism refractory to conventional treatment that were treated with the help of vascular surgeons.

Lower donated kidney volume is associated with increased risk of lower graft function and acute rejection at 1 year after living donor kidney-a retrospective study.

Kidney volume has been proven to be a surrogate marker of nephron mass and renal function. We studied 190 donor and recipient pairs undergoing living donor kidney transplantation at our institution during 9 years. Different metrics of donor kidney volume (DKV) were explored: alone or indexed to recipient's anthropometry, as body surface area (BSA).
