Lymph node staging with 68Ga-PSMA PET in patients with intermediate and high-risk prostate cancer suitable for radical prostatectomy managed in a prostate cancer unit.

Background: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is coming up as a superior imaging tool for prostate cancer (PCa). However, its use in primary staging is still debated. The aim of this study was to assess accuracy of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT in staging patients with intermediate and high risk PCa candidates to radical prostatectomy managed in the Prostate Cancer Unit of our institution.

Robotic transposition and ureteroureterostomy of type 1 retrocaval ureter.

Retrocaval ureter (RCU) is a rare malformation of the inferior vena cava. We report a case of a 60-years-old female presented with right flank pain and computed tomography scan diagnosis of (RCU). She underwent robotic transposition and ureteroureterostomy of RCU.

Safety profile of treatment with greenlight versus Thulium Laser for benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Objective: The major strengths of surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia with laser are reduced morbidity compared to endoscopic resection. No studies analysed the different risk of intra/peri-operative events between patients undergoing Thulium and GreenLight procedures.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 100 consecutive cases undergoing GreenLight vaporization and Thulium procedures performed during the learning curve of two expert endoscopic surgeons.

Oncologic outcome of salvage high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in radiorecurrent prostate cancer. A systematic review.

Introduction: External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) is one of the option available for the treatment of clinically localized prostate cancer. In patients with radiorecurrent localized prostate cancer, Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) is one of the most common therapeutic strategies. However, in the last decades, other salvage treatment options have been investigated, such as brachytherapy, cryoablation and High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (Hifu).
