[Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in patients after transurethral resection of the prostate].

Performing a radical treatment of prostate cancer in patients with a history of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a serious task even for an experienced surgeon, due to the anatomical and topographic changes that occur after endoscopic surgery. The technical possibilities of robotic technologies have great potential for obtaining the best treatment results for this category of patients. In order to review the intra- and postoperative outcomes of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in patients with a history of PCa and TURP, we selected relevant publications in the PubMed and Google Scholar databases for the period from 2008 to 2022.

[Robot-assisted prostatectomy for PT3. Oncological and functional outcomes].

In 2020, prostate cancer (PCa) ranked third in the structure of the most significant oncological diseases. In the Russian Federation, in terms of the frequency of detection among men, prostate cancer is second only to tumors of the upper respiratory tract and lungs, accounting for 14.9%.

[Optimization of prevention of infectious complications during prostate biopsy].

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common malignant neoplasms in middle-aged and elderly men. Transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy is the standard method for diagnosing prostate cancer but is associated with a high incidence of infectious compli-cations. A review of the literature on optimizing the prevention of infectious complications when performing transrectal prostate biopsy is presented.

[HIFU therapy of localized prostate cancer using image-guided robotic HIFU Focal One].

Introduction: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most commonly diagnosed malignant tumor in men after lung cancer and is the fifth leading cause of death worldwide. In November 2019, the spectrum of alternative treatment for PCa was added by a novel minimally invasive method, namely high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) using the latest Focal One machine (with the possibility of combining intraoperative ultrasound and preoperative MRI data).

Materials And Methods: During the period from November 2019 to November 2021, HIFU using Focal One device (manufactured by EDAP, France) was performed in 75 patients with PCa.

Autoimmune Effect of Antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 Nucleoprotein.

COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 is continuing to spread around the world and drastically affect our daily life. New strains appear, and the severity of the course of the disease itself seems to be decreasing, but even people who have been ill on an outpatient basis suffer post-COVID consequences. Partly, it is associated with the autoimmune reactions, so debates about the development of new vaccines and the need for vaccination/revaccination continue.
