Introduction: Recurrent priapism is a rare variant of ischemic priapism that involves recurrent erections typically lasting less than 4 h. The primary goal of treatment is to prevent future episodes, with options ranging from pharmacological treatments to various surgeries.
Case Presentation: A 38-year-old man experienced multiple episodes of priapism that were refractory to angioembolization of an arteriocavernous fistula and oral treatment with Cetirizine and Bicalutamide.
Article Synopsis
- Partial nephrectomy is the recommended treatment for kidney tumors smaller than 7 cm, and robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique offering benefits for complex cases.
- A study analyzed 94 patients who underwent robotic partial nephrectomies from November 2012 to December 2022, examining various factors like patient demographics, tumor size, surgical time, and complications.
- Results showed a median follow-up of 25.3 months, with a low complication rate (19.2%) and effective tumor removal, making robotic surgery a safe choice for treating solid kidney masses.
Background: The European Association of Urology (EAU) recommends discussing upfront radical cystectomy for all patients with very high risk (VHR) non-muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma (NMIBC), but the role of bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) treatment remains controversial.
Objective: To analyze oncological outcomes in VHR NMIBC patients (EAU risk groups) treated with adequate BCG.
Design, Setting, And Participants: A multi-institutional retrospective study involving patients with VHR NMIBC who received adequate BCG therapy from 2007 to 2020 was conducted.
Robotic-assisted surgery has become widely adopted for its ability to expand the indications for minimally invasive procedures. This technology aims to improve precision, accuracy, and outcomes while reducing complications, blood loss, and recovery time. Successful implementation of a robotic surgery program requires careful initial design and a focus on maintenance and expansion to maximize its benefits.
