[Current status of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse.].

Objectives: Surgical restoration of pelvic floor anatomy in pelvic organ prolapse (POP) should avoid extensive areas that may injure healthy tissues and lead to scar fibrosis producing dysfunctional rigidity. Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy corrects POP by lifting pelvic elements with a minimally invasive procedure.Various current strategies and approaches make it a diverse procedure.

Prognostic factors in patients with stage pT0/pT1/pTa in the radical cystectomy specimen.

Objectives: To identify risk factors for progression in patients with invasive bladder carcinoma who were pT0/pT1/pTa after cystectomy.

Methods: We analyzed the clinical records of 97 post-cystectomy pT0/pT1/pTa patients for the following variables: hydronephrosis, carcinoma in situ (CIS), lymphovascular invasion, history of non-muscular invasive disease, residual tumor in the specimen and lymphatic invasion (pN). pN+patients were excluded from definitive analysis.

[Risk factors for biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy in patients with clinically localized prostate cancer. Implications of adjuvant treatment].

Unlabelled: To evaluate the pathological variables predictive of biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy and their implications for decision making in the adjuvant setting.

Methods: 684 patients with localized prostate cancer who were treated with radical prostatectomy between 1996 and 2007. Before surgery they were classified according to D'Amico risk groups for recurrence.
