Predictive factors of post-HoLEP incontinence: differences between stress and urgency urinary incontinence.

Introduction: The analysis of post-HoLEP urinary incontinence (UI) has traditionally focused on stress UI. Our aim is to evaluate the factors associated with stress and urgency UI in the first month after the surgery.

Methods: Data were obtained from patients who underwent HoLEP by the same experienced surgeon.

[Can a single value of a perypheric inflammatory response marker predict the response to BCG?].

Objectives: To evaluate the association of neuthophyl/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) with BCG intravesical responses in patients with initial diagnosis of non/muscle invasive bladder tumor high-risk (NMIBC).

Material And Methods: Retrospective multicenter study on patients with initial diagnosis of high-grade NMIBC treated with BCG between January 2016 and December 2017. Initially a total of 74 patients were collected.

[Conventional transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy. Current role, indications, techniques and limitations].

Objectives: The objective of this work is to evaluate the current role of conventional transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy of the prostate in the diagnosis of cancer. With this aim we review its indications, the various techniques, associated complications and limitations of this test.

Methods: We performed a bibliographic review through NCBI-PUBMED.

Primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the corpora cavernosa presented as a perineal mass.

Primary male genital lymphomas may appear rarely in testis, and exceptionally in the penis and prostate, but there is not previous evidence of a lymphoma arising from the corpora cavernosa. We report the first case in the literature of a primary diffuse cell B lymphoma of the corpora cavernosa presented with low urinary tract symptoms, perineal pain and palpable mass. Diagnosis was based on trucut biopsy, histopathological studies and computed tomographic images.

[Neuroendocrine tumor in a horseshoe kidney: relative risk of association of two related entities].

Objective: Primary renal neuroendocrine tumor (NET) is a very rare neoplasia with a higher frequency of appearance in horseshoe kidney (HK). From 1966, when Resnick published the first case, approximately 2 of each 10 new cases appear in kidneys with this malformation. From the diagnosis of a case of primary NET in a HK, we calculated the relative risk of their presentation as associated entities.

[Localization of prostate cancer within the central gland by endorectal MR spectroscopic imaging].

Objectives: The endorectal MR spectroscopic imaging is a new imaging test which allows more accurate and reliable localization and staging of prostate cancer than simple endorectal MRI. The combination of spectroscopic MR and MRI has recently achieved technical improvements that increased reliability in the detection of prostate cancer. Our group is now working in the detection of prostate cancer with the spectroscopic MR, in co-operation with the Agency for the Evaluation of Technology for Medical Research (Agencia de Evaluación de Tecnología para la Investigación Médica-AATRM); although we are waiting for definitive results, we can advance that this technique may be used as a good alternative for localization of prostate cancer in patients with previous negative biopsies in whom the suspicion of prostate cancer persists.

[Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Review of our first year].

Objectives: To present our series of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, comparing to the published results up to date.

Methods: From november 2001 to november 2002, we have practiced 27 laparoscopic radical prostatectomies without lymphadenectomy. We have used the Montsouris technique with some modifications.
