Mini-invasive robotic assisted pyelolithotomy: Comparison between the transperitoneal and retroperitoneal approach.

Objective: To compare the retroperitoneal with the transperitoneal approach in a series of patients underwent to robotic-assisted pyelolithotomy (RP).

Materials And Methods: From January 2015 to December 2018 we evaluated 20 patients subjected to robotic pyelolithotomy; 11 patients were treated with retroperitoneal approach (RRP) and 9 with transperitoneal approach (TRP). For each patient intra and perioperative data were recorded: operative time (OT), blood loss (BL), length of hospital stay (LOS), stone clearance, post-operative complications and time to remove the drain.

Peri-Operative Outcomes after Open and Robot-Assisted Radical Cystectomy by Using an Advanced Bipolar Seal and Cut Technology (Caiman®): A Prospective, Comparative, and Multi-Institutional Study.

Objective: To report and compare the peri-operative outcomes of patients undergoing open (ORC) and robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) for bladder cancer performed with a radiofrequency seal and cut device (Caiman®).

Materials And Methods: Data of patients undergoing ORC or RARC between January 2015 and March 2016 at 6 Italian institutions were prospectively recorded and analyzed. Thirty-and 90-day complications were stratified according to the Martin's criteria and graded according to the Clavien-Dindo classification.

Minimally Invasive Pyelolithotomy: Comparison of Robot-assisted and Laparoscopic Techniques.

Objectives: To compare the perioperative and short-term outcomes of robotic pyelolithotomy (RP) and laparoscopic pyelolithotomy (LP) for the treatment of renal stones.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 39 patients who underwent robotic or laparoscopic pyelolithotomy from January 2015 to December 2018.

Results: The preoperative characteristics of the two groups were comparable.

Management of self-inflicted orchiectomy in psychiatric patient. Case report and non-systematic review of the literature.

Introduction: Self-inflicted orchidectomy and auto-castration, also known as "Eshmun complex" is a rare phenomenon. The aim of our study it to present the management of a patient who performed a self orchiectomy and propose a non-systematic review of literature about self-orchiectomy.

Material And Method: A 27-years old male Patient with psychiatric disorder was admitted to our ward to have been cutted his scrotum with scissors and cut away his left testicle causing active bleeding from the left spermatic artery.

"In-bore" MRI-guided Prostate Biopsy Using an Endorectal Nonmagnetic Device: A Prospective Study of 70 Consecutive Patients.

Introduction: We investigated the diagnostic performance of in-bore endorectal magnetic resonance imaging-guided biopsy (MRI-GB) with a 1.5-T MRI scanner using a 32-channel coil in patients with suspected prostate cancer (PCa).

Patients And Methods: Seventy patients with ≥ 1 suspicious area found on the preliminary multiparametric MRI scan were enrolled.
