Background: Kidney transplantation is associated with a high risk of infectious complications due to immunosuppressive therapy. Although infections may be transmitted from donor to transplant recipient through contaminated preservation solution (PS), the clinical impact of this is not well-understood.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated PS contamination rates in a series of 339 patients who underwent cadaveric renal transplant at our centre.
Objective: To present our program for ambulatory mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PCNL) and evaluate its initial results.
Material And Methods: We analyzed the implementation of the protocol into the clinical practice with the first 30 outpatient mini-PCNL cases performed in our center between April 2021 and September 2022. Demographic characteristics, perioperative variables, complications and need for unplanned health care, stone-free rate (SFR), stone type and patient satisfaction with the major ambulatory surgery (MAS) process were collected.
Objective: To report our initial experience with robotic radical prostatectomy as an outpatient procedure.
Material And Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients who underwent RRP as MAS (Major Ambulatory Surgery) at our center between March 2021 and May 2022. We collected baseline patient characteristics, intraoperative outcomes and postoperative data (need for unplanned medical care and complications at one month after surgery).

Background: There is a growing interest in reporting satisfaction levels of transgender women undergoing vaginoplasty surgery. The lack of information regarding satisfaction during the initial experience of the vaginoplasty technique, and the moderate morbidity related to the surgery, could discourage the immersion of new groups in initiating a program of this kind. Therefore, we aim to report patients' level of satisfaction during our initial experience in the penile inversion vaginoplasty technique.

The objective of this study is to evaluate hemorrhagic complications (HC) after PCNL and the results of their endovascular treatment.
Materials And Methods: Between May 2009 and December 2019, 1335 PCNL were performed in our center for kidney stone disease.
