[Experience of day case robotic prostatectomy. About thirty-two patients].

Objective: To report a monocentric experience of outpatient management of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy using a rapid recovery protocol.

Patients And Methods: In this retrospective observational study, thirty-two patients underwent a prostatectomy by the same surgeon between February 2017 and September 2018 as part of an outpatient hospitalization. The surgery was a transperitoneal robot-assisted prostatectomy with a urinary catheter duration of 7 days.

The efficacy of hemostatic radiotherapy for bladder cancer-related hematuria in patients unfit for surgery.

Objective: The aim of our study was to assess short and mid-term clinical efficacy of external beam radiation therapy to achieve hemostasis in patients with bladder-cancer related gross hematuria who were unfit for surgery. We also assessed hypofractionation as a possible alternative option for more severe patients.

Patients And Methods: Thirty-two patients were included for hemostatic radiation therapy, with two schedules based on Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status.

[Aging of the human testis].

The morphological and histological changes related to testicular aging are: volume decrease, arteriolar sclerosis, degeneration of Leydig cells and Sertoli, depletion of germ cells and thickening of the tunica albuginea testis. The participation in testicular androgen decline in aging is related to the decrease in the number of Leydig cells associated with alterations in the functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis Sperm volume, concentration and total number, motility and morphology of sperm decrease with aging male. The interindividual variability of sperm parameters, the variability of methodologies for data collection and selection of patients must be careful in interpreting the published results.

Removal of pelvic schwannoma using a retroperitoneoscopic and open double approach: description of an effective novel technique.

Introduction: Schwannomas are rare tumors and are exceptionally retroperitoneal. In the event of clinical signs or uncertainty in the diagnosis, their removal is justified. A risk of neoplastic transformation exists.

Leiomyosarcoma of the corpus cavernosum mimicking a Peyronie's plaque.

Peyronie's disease is relatively frequent and can cause pain and penile induration. Penile soft tissue tumors, however, are exceptional, with fewer than 45 cases reported since 1930. Some clinical and imagery elements could lead to earlier diagnosis through biopsy, enabling more extensive resections and, ultimately, better prognosis.

[Rectourethral fistulae: diagnosis and management. Review of the literature].

Introduction: Rectourethral fistulae are predominantly of iatrogenous origin. They alter the patient's quality of life and are difficult to manage from a medical standpoint.

Patients And Methods: The major series of patients of the last 20 years have been analyzed, in order to define the best management of rectourethral fistulae.
