[Non-transecting anastomotic urethroplasty for strictures of the bulbar urethra. Systematic review].

The results of using non-transecting anastomotic urethroplasty in men with bulbous urethral strictures are presented in the review. A total of 25 original publications were found, including 20 foreign and 5 Russian articles. The studies included from 1 to 358 patients who underwent anastomotic urethroplasty without transection of the corpus spongiosum (average number of patients in a study was 54).

[Antibacterial prophylaxis with fosfomycin at the time of the urethral catheter removal after radical prostatectomy (prospective randomized trial)].

Aim: To evaluate the effect of antibacterial prophylaxis using oral fosfomycin during the removal of a urethral catheter after radical prostatectomy on the development of urinary tract infection, severity of leukocyturia and bacteriuria, as well as the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms.

Materials And Methods: A single-center, non-blind, prospective, randomized controlled trial was carried out. The main group included 40 patients, and the control group included 37 patients.

[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.

Myosin 1C isoform A is a novel candidate diagnostic marker for prostate cancer.

Early diagnosis of prostate cancer is a challenging issue due to the lack of specific markers. Therefore, a sensitive diagnostic marker that is expressed or upregulated exclusively in prostate cancer cells would facilitate diagnostic procedures and ensure a better outcome. We evaluated the expression of myosin 1C isoform A in 5 prostate cell lines, 41 prostate cancer cases, and 11 benign hyperplasias.

[Feasibility and risks of nerve-sparing technique of radical prostatectomy in elderly patients].

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of radical prostatectomy (RP) with nerve-saving technique (NST) in patients more or equal 65 years of age compared with a younger group of patients.

Materials And Methods: The study group comprised 117 patients more or equal 65 years old, the control group - 333 patients <65 years old, who underwent RP with unilateral or bilateral NST from January 2012 to December 2019. The analysis of pathomorphological results, complications rate, recurrence free survival (RFS) and the restoration of erectile function (EF) in both groups was performed.
