Introduction And Hypothesis: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common medical problem and prophylaxis of recurrent UTIs is an ongoing clinical challenge. In the present study we examined whether acupuncture is able to prevent recurrent UTIs in women.
Methods: This multicentre randomised controlled trial, based at a University clinic and private acupuncture clinics, recruited women suffering from recurrent uncomplicated UTIs.
Background And Objective: Several minimally invasive treatments have been developed to treat benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) via a transurethral approach, with a non-negligible risk of complications such as urethral stricture and external sphincter damage. Our aim was to present the Gozzi surgical technique for suprapubic transvesical adenoma resection of the prostate (STAR-P) for BPO and to assess its safety, feasibility, and outcomes.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 44 consecutive patients who underwent STAR-P for BPO.
Article Synopsis
- A study compared the outcomes of open radical cystectomy (ORC) and robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) in patients with pT4a muscle-invasive bladder cancer, involving 212 patients.
- Results showed that RARC had a significantly shorter operative time, less estimated blood loss, and lower rates of both intraoperative and postoperative transfusions compared to ORC.
- RARC also led to a shorter hospital stay and a lower positive surgical margin rate, while both surgical methods had similar oncological outcomes.
Purpose: The aim of this retrospective study is to assess the long-term outcomes and safety of laparoscopic simple prostatectomy.
Material And Methods: Between 2012 and 2019 80 patients with prostates volumes ≥ 80 mL were treated with laparoscopic simple prostatectomy at our department. Uroflowmetry, post void residual volume and standardized questionnaires were assessed pre- and postoperatively.

Background: Intraoperative adverse events (iAEs) are surgical and anesthesiologic complications. Despite the availability of grading criteria, iAEs are infrequently reported in the surgical literature and in cases for which iAEs are reported, these events are described with significant heterogeneity.
Objective: To develop Intraoperative Complications Assessment and Reporting with Universal Standards (ICARUS) Global Surgical Collaboration criteria to standardize the assessment, reporting, and grading of iAEs.
