Introduction: Open ureteroenteric reimplantation (OUER) of ureteroenteric strictures (UESs) is related to important morbidity. Robot-assisted ureteroenteric reimplantation (RUER) has been proposed to provide similar outcomes with lower morbidity. We aimed to compare perioperative and functional outcomes between RUER and OUER.

Implementing next-generation imaging (NGI) techniques has improved metastases detection. However, access to these techniques is heterogeneous, and controversies surround their use and subsequent treatment decisions.

- - Penile squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC) is divided into two main types: HPV-associated and HPV-independent, with the prognosis being influenced by the status of the p53 protein, which is somewhat debated.
- - A study involving 122 PSCC patients explored the correlation between HPV and p53 status, categorizing tumors into three subtypes based on immunohistochemistry and HPV tests.
- - Results showed that patients with HPV-independent tumors and abnormal p53 patterns had significantly worse outcomes, with a higher rate of disease-related deaths compared to those with HPV-associated or HPV-independent/p53-normal tumors.
Cumulative morbidity of ureteroscopy for upper tract urothelial carcinoma.
Actas Urol Esp (Engl Ed)
November 2024
Objective: To assess complications after ureteroscopy (URS) for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) management and to assess its postoperative cumulative morbidity burden using the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI).
Materials And Methods: Single center retrospective study including patients submitted to URS for UTUC suspicion. URSs were both diagnostic and operative.
