In the era of robotic prostate surgery, various techniques have been developed to improve functional outcomes. Urinary continence has shown satisfactory results, but the preservation of lateral nerves to the periprostatic capsule is only achievable by sparing the pubovesical complex. This study aims to present the first cases of lateral-approach robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (LRRP) performed by a novice surgeon.

- The study investigates the effectiveness of robot-assisted pudendal nerve release (RPNR) for treating chronic pelvic pain due to pudendal nerve entrapment (PNE) in 32 patients from January 2016 to July 2021.
- The surgical technique involves identifying specific anatomical landmarks and progressively dissecting tissue to relieve pressure on the pudendal nerve.
- Results show significant pain reduction at 3 and 6 months post-surgery, suggesting that timely intervention can improve outcomes, with a median symptom duration of 7 years prior to surgery and minimal complications.*
Purpose: To account of individual intra-pelvic anatomical variations in muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) irradiation, adaptive radiotherapy (ART) using a personalized plan library may have dosimetric and clinical benefits.
Material And Methods: The data from ten patients treated for localized MIBC according to the "plan of the day" (P0oD) individualized ART technique were collected and retrospectively analysed. Target volumes and organs at risk (OAR) were delineated at different bladder fill rates, resulting in two or three treatment plans.
Introduction: High-resolution micro-ultrasound has the capability of imaging prostate cancer based on detecting alterations in ductal anatomy, analogous to multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI). This technology has the potential advantages of relatively low cost, simplicity, and accessibility compared to mpMRI. This multicenter, prospective registry aims to compare the sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value (NPV), and positive predictive value (PPV) of mpMRI with high-resolution micro-ultrasound imaging for the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer.

Material And Methods: Thirty-seven partial nephrectomies for tumors larger than 7cm operated in a single center between 1987 and 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. The pre, per and postoperative clinico-biological data were collected within the UroCCR database.
