The unfavorable behavior of primary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) has been revealed by the hematogenous distant metastases in ~20-25% of cases with frequent localizations in lungs and bones, but infrequently in kidney. A 69-year-old male patient was admitted to Department of Human Pathology in Adulthood and Childhood 'G. Barresi', University Hospital G.

- A study was conducted to evaluate the recovery of urinary continence and perioperative complications in male patients undergoing open radical cystectomy with a new urethral fixation technique.
- The research involved 82 patients, comparing 48 who received the new technique against 34 who underwent standard surgery, focusing on the effectiveness of the fixation in preventing urethral issues.
- Results showed a significant improvement in urinary continence recovery for both daytime and nighttime use of pads in the study group, with no notable increase in complications compared to the control group.
Objectives: To assess perioperative outcomes, complications, and rate of uretero-ileal anastomotic stricture (UAS) in patients undergoing retrosigmoid ileal conduit after radical cystectomy (RC).
Patients And Methods: Clinical records of consecutive patients receiving retrosigmoid ileal conduit after open RC for bladder cancer between March 2016 and June 2020 at two academic centres were prospectively collected. Two expert surgeons performed all cases.
Background: Urinary continence recovery after radical prostatectomy is a major issue even in the robotic era. Surgical techniques aimed at improving earlier return to continence are continuously sought.
Objective: To describe our novel surgical technique of urethral fixation during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and to assess early urinary continence recovery and perioperative complications.
Objectives: To assess whether bladder neck angle and position on cystogram predict early urinary continence in patients scheduled for early catheter removal after radical prostatectomy (RP).
Methods: A total of 103 patients undergoing open or robot-assisted RP by one expert surgeon between January and December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. A cystogram was performed on postoperative day 3 or 4 to evaluate anastomotic leakage, and, if none or minimal, the catheter was removed.
Background: Iatrogenic ureteral injuries are devastating complications potentially resulting in irreversible impairment of renal function and/or infectious sequelae. Only few data are available on the management of such injuries to the abdominal ureter.
Objective: To report the etiology, perioperative outcomes, and treatment failure rate of different reconstructive surgical interventions for iatrogenic injuries to the abdominal ureter in a contemporary case series.
Background: To compare perioperative and functional outcomes associated with renorrhaphy performed with two different types of clips (Absolok® vs. Hem-o-Lok®) in a contemporary series of patients who underwent partial nephrectomy.
Methods: Patients in whom Absolok® clips were used to perform haemostasis at the level of tumor bed or to block the running sutures during sliding-clip renorrhaphy (study group) were compared with a contemporary control group of patients in whom renorrhaphy was performed with Hem-o-Lok® clips.
