Outpatient laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy: Feasibility and patient satisfaction.

Objective: Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy is the standard surgery to correct apical pelvic organ prolapse. It is currently mainly practiced in the context of a conventional hospitalization, but more and more practitioners are developing it as an outpatient procedure. The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of outpatient laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy and patient satisfaction.

Prospective evaluation of ambulatory laser vaporization of the prostate for benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Background And Objective: Photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) is an alternative to transurethral resection of the prostate in the surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Our objective was to prospectively evaluate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of ambulatory photoselective vaporization of the prostate for benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Materials And Methods: We prospectively collected data of all consecutive patients who underwent ambulatory PVP with the Greenlight(®) laser 180-W XPS at two centers between May 2012 and June 2013.

[Ambulatory prostate photoselective vaporisation with GreenLight laser (180W): prospective evaluation from 115 patients].

Objective: The goal of this prospective study was the evaluation of ambulatory (less than 12h) prostate photoselective vaporisation (PVP) with GreenLight laser XPS.

Materiel And Methods: One hundred and fifteen consecutive patients eligible for ambulatory procedure according to selective criteria (age less than 80, no anticoagulation treatment, no diabetes, patient not alone at home) who underwent ambulatory PVP from 1st May 2012 to 30th June 2013 have been evaluated. The principal criterion was the success rate of ambulatory.

National prospective study on the use of local haemostatic agents during partial nephrectomy.

Objective: To assess the use of local haemostatic agents (HAs) in a prospective multicentre large series of partial nephrectomies (PNs).

Patients And Methods: Prospective National Observational Registry on the Practices of Haemostasis in Partial Nephrectomy (NEPHRON): the study was conducted in 54 French urological centres from 1 June to 31 December 2010. In all, 570 consecutive patients undergoing a PN were enrolled in this study in a prospective manner.

[Magnetic resonance imaging and preoperative evaluation of cancer of the kidney. The results apropos of 60 cases].

Sixty renal carcinomas confirmed at surgery or autopsy were studied. Capsular effraction, present in 17 cases, was well assessed in 8 cases, under staged in 8 cases and over staged in 5 cases (sensitivity 47%, specificity 88%). Renal vein involvement was present in 11 cases.
