The role of androgen deprivation therapy prior to radical prostatectomy in high-risk prostate cancer: a systematic review.

Introduction: Patients with high-risk prostate cancer (HRPCa) are prone to have worse pathological features, resulting in early biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy (RP). There is an urgent need to develop novel treatment strategies for this group of patients to optimize their outcomes. The purpose of this study is to perform a systematic review of the role of neoadjuvant hormonal therapy (NHT) followed by RP in HRPCa patients.

Impact of insufflator/aspirator versus exclusive insufflator during robotic radical prostatectomy: a comparative prospective cohort study.

Unlabelled: New generation devices that combine high-flow insufflation with smoke aspiration using continuous gas recirculation ]so-called Insufflator/aspirator systems (IAS)] have recently been developed to generate pneumoperitoneum. The use of an IAS could have an impact on surgical compared to conventional insufflation systems (CIS). The present study aimed to compare the clinical effectiveness/safety, healthorganizational, and pathological/oncological outcomes of the CIS versus IAS during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).

Intranodal Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Methylene Blue Injection for the Identification of Leakage Point during Laparoscopic Repair of Refractory Chylous Ascites after Laparoscopic Lymphadenectomy for Kidney Cancer.

Chylous ascites is an uncommon complication after surgery that can result in malnutrition and immunodeficiency. Therefore, surgical interventions are reserved for refractory patients, and the primary success factor for these interventions is locating the point of leakage, which is often tricky. We describe a case of a 56-year-old male with chylous ascites after laparoscopic radical nephrectomy and lumbo-aortic lymphadenectomy for kidney cancer.

Successful extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy in a child with coronavirus 2019 disease-associated ARDS and chemotherapy for Ewing's sarcoma.

Most children and adolescents with SARS-CoV-2 infection show no or mild symptoms, but those with medical histories can be susceptible to more severe forms of disease. There are few reported cases of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in pediatric patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We present a previously healthy 13-year-old male diagnosed with metastatic Ewing's sarcoma at the same time as catastrophic acute respiratory distress syndrome due to COVID-19, who was successfully supported by venovenous-ECMO while he received the corresponding chemotherapy protocol.

Long-Term Oncological and Functional Outcomes After Robot-Assisted Partial Nephrectomy for Clinically Localized Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Background: To evaluate long-term oncological and renal function outcomes in patients treated with robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Patients And Methods: Patients undergoing RAPN for clinically localized RCC between January 2014 and December 2019 at a tertiary robotic reference center were evaluated. Clinical course, pathologic characteristics, and long-term outcomes were obtained from our institutional review board-approved RCC database.

[Deferasirox and Complex Proximal Tubulopathy. Presentation of two clinical cases].

Introduction: Treatment with iron chelators is essential for patients with iron overload secondary to repeated trans fusions. Deferasirox is the first once-daily oral active iron chelator. As a result, therapeutic adherence has improved, reducing the complications of iron overload, especially heart failure.

Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children, Chile, May-August 2020.

We describe 26 children with multisystem inflammatory syndrome associated with coronavirus disease in the pediatric intensive care unit of Roberto del Río Hospital (Santiago, Chile). In total, 10 (38.5%) children required mechanical ventilation; 13 (50.

Totally intracorporeal robot-assisted urinary diversion for bladder cancer (part 2). Review and detailed characterization of the existing intracorporeal orthotopic ileal neobladder.

Abstract: To review the most used intracorporeal orthotopic ileal neobladder (ICONB) after radical cystectomy for bladder cancer and create a unified compendium of the different alternatives, including new consistent images.

Methods: We performed a non-systematic review of the literature with the keywords "bladder cancer", "urinary diversion", "radical cystectomy", and "neobladder".

Results: Forty studies were included in the analysis.

Totally intracorporeal robot-assisted urinary diversion for bladder cancer (Part 1). Review and detailed characterization of ileal conduit and modified Indiana pouch.

Objective: To review the most used robot-assisted cutaneous urinary diversion (CUD) after radical cystectomy for bladder cancer and create a unified compendium of the different alternatives, including new consistent images.

Methods: A non-systematic review of the literature with the keywords "bladder cancer", "cutaneous urinary diversion", and "radical cystectomy" was performed.

Results: Twenty-four studies of intracorporeal ileal conduit (ICIC) and two of intracorporeal Indiana pouch (ICIP) were included in the analysis.

Pediatric Inflammatory Multisystem Syndrome Temporally Associated with SARS-CoV-2 Treated with Tocilizumab.

We describe a case of Pediatric Inflammatory Multisystem Syndrome temporally associated with SARS-CoV-2 (PIMS-TS) in an 8-year-old child. The patient developed multiorgan dysfunction, including mixed shock, cardiac dysfunction with myocarditis, pneumonia, acute kidney failure, and gastrointestinal involvement characterized by inflammation of the wall of the bowel and pancreatitis. After treatment with Tocilizumab and corticoid therapy, he presented clinical improvement and normalization of inflammatory markers.

A prospective randomized study comparing bipolar plasmakinetic transurethral resection of the prostate and monopolar transurethral resection of the prostate for the treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: efficacy, sexual function, Quality of Life, and complications.

Objective: To generate high-quality data comparing the clinical efficacy and safety profile between monopolar transurethral resection of the prostate (M-TURP) and bipolar plasmakinetic resection of the prostate (PK-TURP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Materials And Methods: Prospective, randomized, single-blinded study conducted in a tertiary-care public institution (Dec/2014-Aug/2016).

Inclusion Criteria: prostate of <80g in patients with drug-refractory lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), complications derived from BPH, or both.

[Comparison of monopolar versus bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate: Evaluation of the impact on sexual function].

Objectives: To assess the effects of monopolar transurethral resection of the prostate (M-TURP) and bipolar TURP (B-TURP) on overall sexual function.

Methods: From December 2014 to September 2016, 100 eligible candidates with benign prostatic hyperplasia were prospectively recruited and randomized 1:1 into M-TURP/B-TURP arms (58 and 42 patients, respectively) and followed up at 1, 3 and 6 months. A univariate and multivariate analyses using the chi-squared test and a logistic regression model were performed.
