Early Oncological and Functional Outcomes of Prostate Capsule Sparing Cystectomy Compared with Standard Radical Cystectomy.

Introduction And Objectives: A comparative study of standard radical cystectomy and prostate capsule sparing radical cystectomy regarding functional and oncological outcomes.

Materials And Methods: A randomized study of 96 patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder (December 2014 - June 2016) was done. We excluded cases with preoperative T4 staging, lymphadenopathy, prostatic specific antigen > 4 ng/dl, and cases with positive biopsies from the bladder neck, trigone, and/or prostatic urethra.

Significance of post-resection tissue shrinkage on surgical margins of oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Background: Resecting oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with an appropriate margin of uninvolved tissue is critical in preventing local recurrence and in making decisions regarding postoperative radiation therapy. This task can be difficult due to the discrepancy between margins measured intraoperatively and those measured microscopically by the pathologist after specimen processing.

Material And Methods: A total of 61 patients underwent resective surgery with curative intent for primary oral SCC were included in this study.
