Combined Reporting of Surgical Quality and Cancer Control after Surgical Treatment for Penile Tumors with Inguinal Lymph Node Dissection: The Achievement.

Background: To optimize results reporting after penile cancer (PC) surgery, we proposed a and assessed its ability to predict overall survival (OS) probabilities.

Methods: A purpose-built multicenter, multi-national database was queried for stage I-IIIB PC, requiring inguinal lymphadenectomy (ILND), from 2015 onwards. Kaplan-Meier (KM) method assessed differences in OS between patients achieving or not.

Colovesical Fistula: Applicability of the Laparoscopic Approach and Results According to Etiology.

Introduction: Colovesical fistulae have significant morbidity. The aim of our study was to describe a case series of benign and malignant colovesical fistulae, focusing on the viability of the laparoscopic approach.

Methods: We reviewed the characteristics of 34 patients with diverticular and colon adenocarcinoma-related colovesical fistulae treated surgically from January 2001 to March 2018, 28 with elective surgery and 6 by urgent surgery.

Anatomical features of the urethra and urinary bladder catheterization in female mice and rats. An essential translational tool.

Purpose: To present fundamental anatomical aspects and technical skills necessary to urethra and urinary bladder catheterization in female mice and rats.

Methods: Urethral and bladder catheterization has been widely utilized for carcinogenesis and cancer research and still remains very useful in several applications: from toxicological purposes as well as inflammatory and infectious conditions to functional aspects as bladder dynamics and vesicoureteral reflux, among many others.

Results: Animal models are in the center of translational research and those involving rodents are the most important nowadays due to several advantages including human reproducibility, easy handling and low cost.

[Robotic radical cystoprostatectomy: oncological and functional analysis].

Introduction: The da Vinci robotic laparoscopic surgery, has been shown in radical prostatectomy, optimal functional and oncological results with a lower learning curve, greater comfort and vision for the surgeon, and proper preservation of the neurovascular bundles. This has led to begin the experience with robotic radical cystectomy (RRC).

Objectives: Review our initial experience in CRR, evaluating surgical and functional results obtained, and also immediate and short-term complications.
