Comparison between laparoscopic and open prostatectomy: Oncological progression analysis.

Introduction: There are very few Spanish studies that compare oncological outcomes following radical prostatectomy (RP) based on surgical approach, and their methodology is not appropriate.

Objective: To compare oncological outcomes in terms of surgical margins (SM) and biochemical recurrence (BR) between open radical prostatectomy (ORP) and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP).

Material And Methods: Comparison of two cohorts (307 with ORP and 194 with LRP) between 2007-2015.

Three-piece inflatable penile prosthesis: Ectopic reservoir placement.

Introduction: The complications associated to the placement of the reservoir are infrequent but potentially serious. Therefore, technical alternatives have been developed for the performance of the procedure in different locations (ectopic). The aim of this review is to revise the evidence available on the different options for the ectopic placement of the reservoir.

Surgical implant options in patients with penile fibrosis due to infection or previous explants.

Penile fibrosis due to previous penile infection and/or prosthesis explants entails situations of high surgical complexity. In these cases, reimplantation should follow an alternative scheme, aimed at minimizing perioperative and postoperative complications, as well as achieving maximum efficiency of the procedure and greater postoperative satisfaction of the patient and his partner. This article reviews the main surgical alternatives for these cases.

Beyond the Limits: How to Avoid a Surgical Nightmare in the Third and Subsequent Renal Transplantation Procedures.

Purpose Of Review: Approximately, 25% of the patients with ESRD will enter the waiting list for kidney transplantation. Among these patients, almost 15% will require a retransplantation surgery. This review aims to summarize the most recent information on different controversial issues regarding retransplantation, to provide the reader with a clear and updated view on the topic.

Comparison between laparoscopic and open prostatectomy: Postoperative urinary continence analysis.

Introduction: There are very few articles comparing open radical prostatectomy (ORP) vs. laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) and their functional results or urinary continence (UC), which is one of the most important objectives to pursue after oncological results.

Objectives: To compare postoperative UC in patients with localized prostatic adenocarcinoma treated with OPR or LRP.

Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy compared to open radical prostatectomy: Comparison between surgical time, complications and length of hospital stay.

Introduction: There are very few articles comparing open radical prostatectomy (OPR) with laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP).

Objetives: To compare the surgical time, the postoperative complications and the hospital stay in patients with localized prostate cancer treated with ORP or LRP.

Material And Methods: Comparison between two patients cohorts (312 with ORP and with 206 LRP) between 2007-2015.
