The use of 3D digital anatomy model improves the communication with patients presenting with prostate disease: The first experience in Senegal.

Objectives: We hypothesized that the use of an interactive 3D digital anatomy model can improve the quality of communication with patients about prostate disease.

Methods: A 3D digital anatomy model of the prostate was created from an MRI scan, according to McNeal's zonal anatomy classification. During urological consultation, the physician presented the digital model on a computer and used it to explain the disease and available management options.

[Outcomes of radical prostatectomy in patients with prostate cancer at the Aristide Le Dantec University Hospital].

The purpose of this study was to assess outcomes of radical prostatectomy in patients with prostate cancer. We conducted a retrospective single-center study in the Department of Urology and Andrology at the Aristide Le Dantec Hospital in Dakar from June 1, 2010 to May 31, 2016. We collected data of 60 patients undergoing radical retropubic prostatectomy associated with dissection of the iliac and obturator nodes.
