Goal: To assess the workload of an on-call urology resident at a French University Hospital.
Material: A prospective study was performed during 15 days in February 2012. The data recorded in our database regarded the resident (sex, age, time to go to work), the call (emergency, type and reason) and the person who called (grade, department).
Purpose: We prospectively evaluated (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computerized tomography to assess inguinal lymph node status, the main prognostic factor in invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the penis.
Materials And Methods: From March 2005 to January 2010, 30 patients with invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the penis from the department of urology at our institution were prospectively included in this study. Lymph node status was assessed preoperatively by positron emission tomography-computerized tomography to detect subclinical metastasis in 22 patients with initially cN0 disease and quantify inguinal lymph node invasion in 8 with cN+.
Introduction: Treatment of penile carcinoma, even if it is well codified, is not well known because of its rarity. The aim of this article is to report the management of penile carcinoma in 2010.
Patients And Methods: This article is a summary of the forum of the Committee of Oncology of the French Association of Urology (AFU-CC), held at the Congress of the AFU.
Purpose: To evaluate the accessibility of the fellowship for the residents of Urology expecting to accomplish their residentship between November 2010 and 2013.
Patients: Between November 2010 and January 2011, all the residents ongoing for the residentship of Urology in France were reached by an electronic mailing using the AFUF register. A questionnaire reported all the residents expecting to accomplish their residentship between November 2010 and 2013, and the number and the expected availability of fellow and specialist assistant posts during the same period.
Objective: To identify the main prognostic factors influencing the immediate and long-term results of inflatable penile prosthesis implantation.
Patients And Methods: Between February 1999 and December 2007, 118 inflatable penile prostheses were implanted, by the same operator, on 96 patients with a mean age of 54.4 years.
