Diagnostic Accuracy of Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Detect Residual Prostate Cancer Following Irreversible Electroporation-A Multicenter Validation Study.

Background: Accurate monitoring following focal treatment of prostate cancer (PCa) is paramount for timely salvage treatment or retreatment.

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) to detect residual PCa in the short-term follow-up of focal treatment with irreversible electroporation (IRE) using transperineal or transrectal template ± targeted biopsies.

Design, Setting, And Participants: A retrospective international multicenter study of men with biopsy-proven PCa, treated with focal IRE, and followed by mpMRI (index-test) and template biopsies (reference-test) between February 2013 and January 2021, was conducted.

Evaluation of Ureteroenteric Anastomotic Strictures after the Introduction of Robot-Assisted Radical Cystectomy with Intracorporeal Urinary Diversion: Results from a Large Tertiary Referral Center.

Purpose: Benign ureteroenteric anastomotic strictures following radical cystectomy are a critical complication The incidence is highly dependent on study design, surgical technique and surgeon experience. We studied the incidence of ureteroenteric anastomotic strictures after open vs robot-assisted radical cystectomy with an intracorporeal urinary diversion, and determined the influence of the introduction of robot-assisted radical cystectomy in our clinic.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective, single center, cohort study was performed between January 2012 and December 2017 in all patients undergoing radical cystectomy.

Preoperative frailty and outcome in patients undergoing radical cystectomy.

Objective: To determine the value of preoperative frailty screening in predicting postoperative severe complications and 1-year mortality in patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC).

Patients And Methods: Prospective cohort single-centre study in patients undergoing RC from September 2016 to December 2017. Preoperative frailty screening was implemented as standard care and was used to guide shared decision-making during multidisciplinary team meetings.
