Objective: To assess the prevalence and the characteristics of pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) in women with endometriosis.
Methods: This is a methodological paper that describes the 'Endometriosis and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction' (EndoPFD) multicenter study protocol. It involves three sites: the University Hospital of Pisa, the San Raffaele Hospital of Milan and the Vanvitelli University Hospital of Naples.
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a widespread and frustrating condition that affects millions of people worldwide, with severe consequences on patients' quality of life and health care systems' costs. Currently, the most severe cases of SUI are treated using implanted (and rather invasive) extraurethral artificial sphincters. The authors propose an innovative, minimally invasive endourethral device for the treatment of SUI.

Introduction: The objective of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy, through the stone-free rate (SFR), as well as the costs, between retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), for 2-4 cm kidney stones.
Material And Methods: We analysed the data relating to RIRS and PCNL performed in 3 reference centres for kidney stones, in the period between 1/2019 and 12/2021. The total number of procedures was 130 (63 RIRS and 67 PCNL).
Article Synopsis
- The Italian Radical Cystectomy Registry (RIC) is a study focusing on bladder cancer patients undergoing radical cystectomy, collecting data from 1400 participants across 28 centers in Italy from 2017 to 2020 to analyze clinical variables and outcomes.
- Patients undergoing robotic surgery were typically younger and more likely to have received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, while hypertension was the most common comorbidity among all participants.
- The study aims to provide insights on the effectiveness of different surgical techniques (open, robotic, laparoscopic) in improving patient outcomes, ultimately aiding physicians in determining the best approach based on individual patient characteristics.
