Inverted urethral flap reconstruction after partial penectomy: Long-term oncological and functional outcomes.

Introduction: Penile aesthetics after partial penectomy (PP) for penile cancer (PC), significantly affect a patient's health-related quality of life (HRQoL), self-esteem, and sexual function. Satisfactory reconstruction has become a major milestone in the treatment of these patients.

Methods: Clinical charts of all patients that underwent PP and reconstruction with an inverted urethral flap (IUF) were reviewed.

Inguinal lymph node density as a powerful predictor of cancer specific survival in patients with node-positive penile cancer.

Introduction: Penile cancer (PC) is an aggressive malignancy in which the most important prognostic factor for cancer specific survival (CSS) is the involvement of regional lymph nodes (LNs). Lymph node density (LND) could become a superior prognostic tool for CSS, by accounting for both extent of dissection and nodal disease burden. We aim to validate LND as a prognostic factor for CSS in a contemporary series of patients with PC treated and followed at a single high-volume center, treating more than 25 PC patients per year, over a 13-year period.

Real World Data of Penile Cancer Treatment at a High-Volume Center in South America: Insights and Survival Trends.

Objective: To report survival trends and oncological outcomes of penile cancer surgically treated patients, at a high-volume center, treating more than 25 patients each year, in a high incidence country.

Methods: Clinical charts of all patients that underwent surgical management for penile cancer were reviewed. The primary end points were cancer specific survival (CSS), progression-free survival, and local recurrence free survival.

Metastasectomy of Abdominal Wall Lesions due to Prostate Cancer Detected Through PET/CT Gallium 68-PMSA: First Case Report.

Introducing the topic of abdominal wall metastasis secondary to prostate cancer with a reminder of the disease's rarity, being the first published case. This article is about a 66 year old patient diagnosed with prostate cancer [cT2aNxMx iPSA: 5,6 ng/ml Gleason 3+3, (Grade 1 Group)], treated with radical prostatectomy as well as accompanied with amplified pelvic lymphadenectomy, who subsequently presented metastatic lesions to the abdominal wall diagnosed with PET/CT Gallium 68-PMSA technique and treated with abdominal metastasectomy with adequate short term results.

Robotic repair of vesicovaginal fistulae with the transperitoneal-transvaginal approach: a case series.

Objective: To describe a novel technique of repairing the VVF using the transperitoneal-transvaginal approach.

Materials And Methods: From June 2011 to October 2013, four patients with symptoms of urine leakage in the vagina underwent robotic repair of VVF with the transperitoneal-transvaginal approach. Cystoscopy revealed the fistula opening on the bladder.

Transvesical Laparoendoscopic Single-Site Management of Distal Ureter During Laparoscopic Radical Nephroureterectomy.

To describe the management of the distal ureter during radical nephroureterectomy with the transvesical laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (T-LESS) approach. Between January 2010 and October 2013, five patients underwent laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy for upper urinary tract carcinoma (UTUC) with the T-LESS approach. Patients were placed in the supine position.

Robotic bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy in penile cancer, development of a technique without robot repositioning: a case report.

Introduction: Inguinal lymphadenectomy is the treatment of choice for patients with penile cancer and inguinal lymph node metastases. We describe the performance of the robotic bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy technique without repositioning the robot in a patient with penile carcinoma and high risk for nodal metastases and no palpable lymph nodes.

Materials And Methods: A 64-year-old male patient was diagnosed with penile cancer (TNM: T3 N 0 M 0) and underwent a total penectomy with perineal urethrostomy.
