Robotic-assisted Vaginectomy During Staged Gender-affirming Penile Reconstruction Surgery: Technique and Outcomes.

Objective: To report our novel technique and mid-term follow-up for robotic-assisted laparoscopic vaginectomy (RALV), a component procedure of staged gender-affirming penile reconstructive surgery.

Materials And Methods: The records of patients seeking gender-affirming penile reconstructive surgery who underwent RALV, performed by a single surgeon at our institution, between May 2016 and January 2020 were reviewed retrospectively for demographic and perioperative data. Patients were included irrespective of history of previous phalloplasty.

Use of serial multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging in the management of patients with prostate cancer on active surveillance.

Introduction: We evaluated the performance of multiparametric prostate magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI) and MRI/transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) fusion-guided biopsy (FB) for monitoring patients with prostate cancer on active surveillance (AS).

Materials And Methods: Patients undergoing mp-MRI and FB of target lesions identified on mp-MRI between August 2007 and August 2014 were reviewed. Patients meeting AS criteria (Clinical stage T1c, Gleason grade ≤ 6, prostate-specific antigen density ≤ 0.
