OHVIRA Syndrome and Ureteral Ectopy Draining in the Ipsilateral Hemiuterus, Diagnosed in the Prepubertal Age Group: Case-Report and Literature Review.

Müllerian (paramesonephric) duct anomalies (MDA) are a rare condition, occurring in 5.5% of female newborns. One of the most complex malformations is represented by Obstructed Hemivagina and Ipsilateral Renal Anomalies (OHVIRA) syndrome, also known as Herlyn -Werner-Wunderlich (HWW) syndrome.

Long-term results of multimodal treatment of the prostate using the Thulium Laser.

Background And Aims: To evaluate a novel multimodal treatment (TLP) that integrates the use of a thulium laser, bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), and "button-type" bipolar plasma vaporization for the endoscopic treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Methods: From March 2018 to December 2021, we prospectively evaluated 220 patients with symptomatic BPH who underwent TLP. Patients were assessed based on the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), quality of life (QoL), maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax), and postvoid residual urine (PVR).

Combined Systematic and MRI-US Fusion Prostate Biopsy Has the Highest Grading Accuracy When Compared to Final Pathology.

Systematic prostate biopsy (SB) has a low Gleason group (GG) accuracy when compared to final pathology. This may negatively impact the inclusion of patients into specific risk groups and treatment choice. The aim of our study was to assess the GG accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging-ultrasound (MRI-US) fusion prostate biopsy.

MRI-targeted prostate biopsy: the next step forward!

Aim: For decades, the gold standard technique for diagnosing prostate cancer was the 10 to 12 core systematic transrectal or transperineal biopsy, under ultrasound guidance. Over the past years, an increased rate of false negative results and detection of clinically insignificant prostate cancer has been noted, resulting into overdiagnosis and overtreatment. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the changes in diagnosis and management of prostate cancer brought by MRI-targeted prostate biopsy.

3D laparoscopic enucleation vs standard partial nephrectomy for cT1 renal masses: assessment of functional outcomes at 1-year follow-up.

Aim: To evaluate renal function after laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) and to establish the factors that might influence its dynamic one year after surgery.

Methods: The prospective study included 83 patients previously diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma who underwent laparoscopic NSS. Demographic, clinical, laboratory and surgery related data were recorded.

Oncological results at 2 years after robotic radical prostatectomy - the Romanian experience.

Introduction: To assess the oncological outcomes of robotic radical prostatectomy in a country where there are no on-going national screening programs for prostate cancer.

Material And Methods: Between November 2009 and November 2014, 220 robotic radical prostatectomies were performed at our Robotic Surgery Center. We already have the complete data for the 2-year follow-up of the first 105 patients, who were therefore included in the study group.
