Complications and outcomes of post-transplant lymphocele management: a 30-year retrospective analysis.

Introduction: Current guidelines recommend percutaneous drainage as the first-line approach for the management of symptomatic lymphoceles following renal transplantation, with surgical fenestration reserved for refractory or recurrent cases. This study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of these therapeutic strategies in renal transplant recipients.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 109 renal transplant recipients with symptomatic lymphoceles treated between 1993 and 2023 at a single public center was conducted.

The Efficacy of Injection Penile Girth Enhancement as an Option for Small Penis Syndrome Management.

Penis Enlargement by Penile Suspensory Ligament Division with Cross-Plasty of the Skin.

Background: To demonstrate modified technique of penile lengthening.

Methods: We have reviewed 30 patients who underwent surgery with the use of the proposed "cross-method" and also compared with 35 patients who had surgery with the division of the suspensory ligament performed with the use of V-Y plasty method.

Results: We have achieved better enlargement and SEAR (self-esteem and relationship) scores with the "cross-method" compared to V-Y plasty.

Comparison between three protocols of corneal collagen crosslinking in adults with progressive keratoconus: Standard versus accelerated CXL for keratoconus.

Objective: The study aimed to compare eye outcomes between the standard and accelerated corneal cross-linking (CXL) protocols over a 1-year follow-up, and assess whether the accelerated protocols are non-inferior to the standard.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study including patients older than 18 years diagnosed with progressive keratoconus who underwent a CXL procedure. The primary outcome was defined as an increase of more than 1.

[Comparative characteristic of methods for operative treatment of patients suffering varicocele].
