[Early urethral catheter removal after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy].

Background: Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is a widely used treatment method for patients with clinically localized prostate cancer. Posterior reconstruction of urethrovesical anastomosis (UVA) is one of the techniques that provides early recovery of urinary continence after surgery. Changes in the technique of performing posterior reconstruction of UVA may contribute to further improvement of functional results.

[Kidney carboxycryoablation. Pilot study].

Aim: The aim of this experimental study was to evaluate the effect of low temperatures of carbon dioxide on a "living" blood-supplying organ (pig kidney), to determine the possibility of performing cryoablation of kidney tissue with carbon dioxide (carboxycryoablation), as well as to establish experimentally modes of carboxycryoablation of the kidney.

Materials And Methods: To carry out this experimental study, a female of the mini-pig line was used. We performed laparoscopic access to the kidney for carboxycryoablation.

[Two-layer posterior reconstruction of the vesicourethral anastomosis during robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy].

Aim: To study the influence of the technique of posterior reconstruction of the vesicourethral anastomosis (VUA) on the prevention of urinary incontinence after robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).

Material And Methods: A total of 67 patients (mean age 63 years) with localized prostate cancer were included in the study. All patients were divided into two groups.

[Clinical case of delayed diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis].

A clinical case of successful drug treatment of multiple renal angiomyolipomas in patient with tuberous sclerosis is presented, which suggests potential role of medical treatment of benign kidney tumors.
