ONE-STAGE PROSTATECTOMY ACCOMPANIED BY HERNIOPLASTY TO IMPROVE QUALITY-OF-LIFE OUTCOMES OF PATIENTS WITH COMBINED SURGICAL PATHOLOGIES.

Objective: The aim: To evaluate whether simultaneous inguinal hernioplasty during prostatectomy confers benefits on quality-of-life outcomes.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: 152 patients with prostatic adenoma were observed. The general group included 32 (21%) patients with prostatic adenoma and hernia inguinalis, who underwent one-stage prostatectomy accompanied with hernioplasty.

Nephrolithiasis as a cause of hemoptysis.

We report a case of nephrobronchial fistula complicated by the development of a broncholith within the lung, which led to hemoptysis and blood loss anemia. A 71-year-old man with a medical history of untreated urinary stones was admitted for flank pain, hemoptysis, blood loss anemia, and exacerbation of chronic pyelonephritis. Computed tomography showed staghorn calculi, terminal hydronephrosis, xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis of the left kidney, nephrobronchial fistula, and large intraparenchymal pulmonary calcification.

Survival analysis of small cell carcinomas of the genitourinary system.

Due to low incidence, there are no large prospective studies or clinical trials for small cell carcinoma (SCC) of the genitourinary system (GU), and most data are extrapolated from SCC of the lung. Using the SEER database, we analyzed incidence trends, overall survival, and cancer-specific survival using the log-rank test. Analysis of variables was performed using the Cox proportional hazards regression model.
