Anatomical outcomes and complications of sacrocolpopexy using Surelift Uplift mesh: A multicentric observational study.

Objective: The study evaluated the anatomical and functional outcomes, as well as the safety data of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) using a lightweight macroporous mesh.

Methods: A multicentric observational study was developed including five expert centers between March 2011 and December 2019. Inclusion criteria were female patients with symptomatic ≥stage II POP (POP-Q classification), who underwent a LSC.

Comparative anatomy of the ovine and human pelvis for laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy: evaluating the effectiveness of the ovine model.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) is a functional reconstructive surgery used to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in middle-aged women. Although LSC is widely used, its implementation is hindered by perceived technical difficulties and surgical learning curves. Surgeons require adequate experience with LSC prior to performing the procedure on patients to improve their quality of life.

[UPOINT phenotypic classification of a sample of female patients with bladder pain syndrome: Results of a national multicentric observational study.].

Objectives: To study the possibility of classifying patients with BPS by UPOINT phenotypes and their correlation with the results of different BPS diagnostic tools. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Epidemiological, observational, longitudinal and multicentric study performed according to clinical practice. A total of 319 women with BPS were included, 79 with new diagnosis and 240 in follow-up.

[Urinary lithiasis treatment by laparoscopy. Combined techniques.].

Over the last 30 years, the treatment of urinary lithiasis has changed dramatically. With the advent of extracorporeal lithotripsy and the advances on ureterorenoscopy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy, the need to turn to open and laparoscopic/robotic surgery has diminished. The objective of this article is to review the different indications for open and/or laparoscopic treatment of urinary lithiasis, to achieve its complete elimination with the less invasive possible means and trying to minimize the number of secondary procedures as well as complications.

Leiomyoma of the seminal vesicles: laparoscopic excision.

Leiomyoma of the seminal vesicles is an extremely rare type of benign tumor of the genitourinary system and can cause lower urinary tract symptoms. Despite their low incidence, these tumors can be identified with transrectal ultrasound of the seminal vesicles during prostate examination. The removal of these tumors is facilitated by a laparoscopic approach.

Robotic Anderson-Hynes dismembered pyeloplasty: initial experience.

Introduction: The introduction of the da Vinci(®) robotic system in 2000 has been a new step forward in the treatment of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). The aim of this study was to analyse our initial experience with robot-assisted dismembered Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty and to perform a bibliographic review on the topic.

Patients And Methods: We performed 11 robot-assisted pyeloplasties between March 2007 and April 2011.

Renal capsule leiomyoma: case report.

Objective: We present a case of leiomyoma of the renal capsule in a 49 year-old woman that was detected incidentally during an abdominal study for gastroesophageal reflux. We discuss the clinical, radiological and pathological diagnosis of renal leiomyoma as well as its treatment alternatives.

Methods: Ultrasonography, CT and MRI were performed.
