Article Synopsis
- The study compares a new minimally-invasive lymph node dissection technique for penile cancer (MILND) with the traditional open approach (OILND) to evaluate patient outcomes.
- Between 2016 and 2023, results showed that MILND had shorter operation times, shorter hospital stays, and fewer days with drainage compared to OILND, while also yielding similar or better lymph node results.
- Additionally, MILND led to a lower rate of major complications, suggesting it may enhance patient safety and recovery compared to the standard approach.
Prostate cancer (PCa) remains a significant global health issue, exhibiting a spectrum of clinical behaviours from indolent to aggressive. Biomarkers are crucial for risk assessment, treatment selection and prognosis prediction. Despite their importance, accurately evaluating PCa aggressiveness and guiding personalised treatment strategies present challenges.

Methods: We analysed data from 423 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy between 2016 and 2022, with a cut-off date of March 16, 2020. Patients were categorised into two groups, namely, pre-lockdown (n = 289) and during lockdown (n = 134).
Purpose: To analyze the perioperative factors that influence the risk of biochemical recurrence (BCR) in patients with localized PCa undergoing radical prostatectomy Materials and Methods: A total of 457 patients, operated by 2 surgeons in our high-volume oncological center were included in the initial database. Patients who underwent RP for clinically localized PCa in our clinic from 2016 to 2021 were included in the study. Perioperative data were retrospectively reviewed for this study.

The aim of the study was to review the outcomes of patients who had undergone radical hysterectomy and radiotherapy for cervical cancer that later developed retroperitoneal fibrosis, for whom 3D laparoscopic ureterolysis was performed in our department and to review current published studies.
Methods: We present a series of cases consisting of 6 patients with secondary retroperitoneal fibrosis.
