Article Synopsis
  • Two randomized trials have established that triplet therapy (androgen deprivation therapy, ARPI, and docetaxel) provides better survival rates compared to doublet therapy (ADT and docetaxel) for patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.
  • A real-world analysis involving 97 mHSPC patients from various Austrian centers was conducted, tracking treatment responses and clinical parameters, while certain guideline-based treatments were underutilized in a significant percentage of the patients.
  • Findings showed that patients who started ARPI after chemotherapy had better treatment responses, while 61.9% experienced adverse events, yet all patients had a notable decline in PSA levels, indicating treatment effectiveness.

Background: Mesh erosion into the bladder after hernioplasty is sparsely reported in literature and may be underestimated in clinical practice. We report a case of a patient who was referred to our department due to recurrent urinary tract infections caused by a bladder stone due to mesh migration after inguinal hernia repair 22 years ago.

Case Presentation: A 67-year-old male patient was referred from the outpatient urologist for transurethral resection of the prostate in September 2021 due to recurrent urinary tract infections caused by benign prostatic enlargement and bladder stone formation.

Purpose: The aim of this retrospective study was to compare our initial experience with robotic assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (R-LPP) with the conventional laparoscopic method (C-LPP).

Materials And Methods: In the defined period from May 2015 to September 2019, a total of 76 renal pelvic surgeries were performed at two different university clinics. In all, 63 patients who received either L‑NBP (n = 27) or R‑NBP (n = 36) were considered for data analysis.

In renal tumors, suspicious for renal cell carcinoma, where there is any doubt and discrepancy between morphology and immune profile, we recommend performing further immunohistochemical staining for pan-cytokeratin, S100, NSE, and inhibin-alpha. Thus, follow-up overtreatment can be avoided in cases of benign kidney tumors.

We present a case of heavy intermittent urethral bleeding in a 57-year-old man after traumatic catheterization caused by an urethral pseudoaneurysm. The source of bleeding could be detected by angiography and a superselective embolization was performed.
