The utility of in-bore multiparametric magnetic resonance-guided biopsy in men with negative multiparametric magnetic resonance-ultrasound software-based fusion targeted biopsy.

Objectives: To evaluate the utility of in-bore multiparametric magnetic resonance-guided biopsy of the prostate (IB) in patients with visible lesion/s and previous negative software-based multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging/ultrasonography fusion-targeted biopsy of the prostate (FTB).

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively analysed prospectively maintained database including consecutive men undergoing IB from March 2013 to October 2017 in 2 European centres expert in this procedure. We selected men with the following criteria: No previous treatment for prostate cancer (CaP), multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) lesion(s) PIRADS score ≥ 3, FTB showing no clinically significant cancer (csCaP), and subsequent IB.

Preperitoneal robotic prostate adenomectomy.

Objectives: To describe the surgical technique and evaluate the feasibility of robotic-assisted preperitoneal prostate adenomectomy for large benign adenomas in a pilot series.

Methods: A total of 13 consecutive patients with a median age 70 years and body mass index of 26 kg/m(2) in whom open adenomectomy was planned were included in this pilot study. The extraperitoneal robotic approach was standardized in all cases.

Complications of robotic assisted radical prostatectomy.

Objectives: Robotic radical prostatectomy claims optimal oncologic results, minimal morbidity and best outcomes of urinary continence and erection function. Potential benefits concerning side effects and complications compared to open radical prostatectomy are analysed.

Methods: Out of 450 robotic radical prostatectomies performed, the last 210 patients aged 64 (41-78), PSA of 7.

Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy--the experience of the German Laparoscopic Working Group.

Purpose: To present the current status of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) in Germany, Austria and Switzerland with respect to transferability, learning curve, and outcome.

Material And Methods: The data of 5824 patients who underwent LRP in 18 centers by 50 urologists from March 1999 to August 2004 were analyzed retrospectively. Three centers performed more than 500, and six more than 250 cases.

High-throughput tissue microarray analysis of 11q13 gene amplification (CCND1, FGF3, FGF4, EMS1) in urinary bladder cancer.

Gene amplification is a common mechanism for oncogene overexpression. High-level amplifications at 11q13 have been repeatedly found in bladder cancer by comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) and other techniques. Putative candidate oncogenes located in this region are CCND1 (PRAD1, bcl-1), EMS1, FGF3 (Int-2), and FGF4 (hst1, hstf1).

Cystic dysplasia of the testis: a very rare paediatric tumor of the testis.

Objectives: To describe a case of cystic dysplasia of the testis (CDT), an uncommon cause of scrotal swelling in the pediatric patient. Clinic, therapy, fertility, and radiographic and pathologic findings are discussed and the 30 previously reported cases are reviewed.

Methods: A 9-year-old boy presented with asymptomatic scrotal swelling.
