Single-Use Versus Reusable Cystoscope for Ureteral Stent Removal: A Comparative Study of Perceived Pain and Procedure Times.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the Isiris cystoscope with a common reusable flexible cystoscope in terms of patient perceived pain and endoscopy time in the ureteral stent removal setting.

Materials And Methods: A non-randomized prospective study comparing the Isiris single-use cystoscope with a reusable flexible cystoscope. A visual analogue scale (VAS) was used for pain assessment and endoscopy time was recorded in seconds.

Quality of life in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder tumor undergoing adjuvant intravesical treatment.

Introduction: The objective of the study was to establish a possible relationship between mitomycin-C (MMC) and bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) treatments and quality of life impairment.

Material And Methods: Quasi-experimental, prospective, and longitudinal study including patients undergoing adjuvant treatment in NMIBC. The Short form-12 (SF-12) and Urogenital Distress Inventory-6 (UDI-6) questionnaires were used to measure quality of life.

[Penile Cancer: A case for non-lymph node disease following a negative sentinel node exploration.].

Objective: To describe the case of a patient with subcutaneous inguinal recurrence of penile cancer without lymph node involvement.

Methods: Description of a clinical case and review of the literature on the subject.

Results: We present the case of a 72-year-old man with penile cancer and extranodal inguinal extension that affected subcutaneous cell tissue, with a history of negative sentinel lymph node and subsequently without invasion of the regional lymph nodes in lymphadenectomy after chemotherapy.

Ureteral realignment with combined access as a treatment of complete ureteral transection.

Ureteral realignment using a ureteral stent can be an alternative treatment in cases of complete ureteral transection and may avoid the need for reconstructive surgery. The combined access can help the passage of the guidewire through the injured area and the threading of the urinary system of the patient. We present a case of a 38-year-old man with multiples abdominal surgeries, who underwent a complete ureteral section treated with ureteral realignment with combined access.

Factors related to early castration resistance in metastatic prostate cancer. Results from the National Prostate Cancer Registry in Spain.

Introduction: The objective of the study was to determine the factors independently related with the development of castration resistance (CR) in prostate cancer (PC) in the medium term.

Material And Methods: 155 patients diagnosed with metastatic PC with a follow-up of up to 39 months. Data taken from the National PC Registry.
