Objectives: Penile cancer is not very frequent. To control the disease oncologically, we must perform inguinal lymphadenectomy in cases of high-risk histology, poor prognosis and palpable lymph nodes. The open inguinal lymphadenectomy has a high rate of morbidity.

The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness, safety and feasibility of Holmium laser fulguration in an outpatient regimen for selected tumours.
Material And Method: A prospective, longitudinal cohort study was conducted between January 2009 and December 2016.
Objectives: To analyse the safety, efficacy and quality of life of patients with male stress urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy treated with the AdVance and AdvanceXP slings.
Patients And Method: The study included 92 patients with stress urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy treated with the AdVance and AdVanceXP sling between May 2008 and December 2015. A perineal repositioning test was performed in all cases with sphincter coaptation of≥1.
Patients with low and intermediate risk prostate cancer are the most frequently diagnosed group currently. In those with a life expectancy inferior to 10 years it is highly likely that treatment is not necessary so that observation must be the most appropriate approach. In patients in whom active therapy, in any of its forms, is indicated, it is necessary to balance between risk of dying or developing metastases from the disease and adverse effects of commonly accepted radical treatments, such as radical prostatectomy and external beam or interstitial radiotherapy.

Currently, uniformity does not exist with regard to the indication criteria of seminal vesicle biopsies (SVBs). Our objective is to analyse the protocol of SVBs at Morales Meseguer Hospital and conduct an exhaustive review of the literature in this field.
