[Clinical and morphological assessment of the results of a standard robot-assisted nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy and with the use of Retzius-sparing technique].

Objective: To compare the perioperative, functional, clinical and morphological results of a standard robot-assisted nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy and with the use of the Retzius-sparing technique.

Materials And Methods: A prospective analysis was performed of two groups of patients (n=54) who underwent nerve-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (period from 2017 to 2018). The first group included 29 patients who underwent nerve-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy with Retzius-sparing technique, the second - 25 patients operated on according to the standard method of bilateral nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy.

[Diagnostic performance of 68GA-PSMA PET/CTin patients with prostate cancer].

Introduction: and aim. Most of the patients with biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy undergo salvage radiotherapy without guidance from imaging. In recent years, there has been an increasing role of Gallium-68 prostate specific membrane antigen (68Ga-PSMA) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging in the management of prostate cancer.

[Potentials for the combined therapy of urination disorders in men: the choice of optimal scheme of treatment].

Moderate to severe urination disorders occur in 13-29% of men, and their frequency increases progressively with age. The key for successful use of the capabilities of modern drug therapy is the understanding of the pathophysiological bases of urination disorders. Despite some successes of monotherapy with alpha-adrenoblockers and 5alpha-reductase inhibitors, combined use of drugs is appropriate, because the differences in mechanisms of action allows to simultaneously act on the smooth muscle tissue, causing its relax, and reduce the size of prostate by the induction of apoptosis, which ultimately allows to expect the maximum therapeutic effect.

[Combined treatment of patients with lower urinary tract symptoms and erectile dysfunction].

In men of middle and older age group, urination disorders and erectile dysfunction are often combined. The role of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors in the treatment of these patients remains uninvestigated. Prospective study included 38 patients with urination disorders and erectile dysfunction.

[Experience of male transobturator AdVance sling implantation in patients with stress urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy].

For the period from April 2008 to March 2012, 12 men with mild-to-moderate and severe stress urinary incontinence underwent transobturator AdVance sling implantation. In the preoperative period, all patients underwent assessment, including history taking, physical, and instrumental and laboratory examination. Daily pad test was used as an objective method for the assessment of the degree of urinary incontinence.
