Objective: To demonstrate the feasibility of a combined decompression of pudendal and inferior cluneal nerves for entrapment syndrome using a transperitoneal robotic laparoscopy.

Design: Demonstration of our 4-step technique with narrated video footage.

Setting: Pudendal and inferior cluneal neuralgias caused by an entrapment syndrome are both responsible for perineal pain [1].

Objective: The objective of our study is to present the activity volume and postoperative complications in a center exclusively destined to endometriosis surgery.

Methods: Retrospective mono-centric study analyzing data collected prospectively in patients surgically managed for endometriosis from September 2018 to August 2019.

Results: Four hundred and ninety-one patients underwent surgery for endometriosis during 12 consecutive months: 268 for colorectal localizations (54.

Management of non metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer is challenging for clinicians due to the heterogeneity of the disease and to the scarce clinical data available in this setting. Recent results obtained with the new generation hormone therapies (NGHT) apalutamide and enzalutamide bring a new perspective for the treatment strategy. The authors present here a systematic review of the treatment options.

The majority of patients with prostate cancer who later develop lethal metastatic disease have high-risk localized disease at presentation, emphasizing the importance of effective treatment strategies at this stage. Multimodal treatment approaches that combine systemic and local therapies offer a promising strategy for improving the clinical outcomes of patients with high-risk localized prostate cancer. Combinations of neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, or chemohormonal therapy are considered to be the standard of care in most solid tumours and should be investigated in the future for the treatment of prostate cancer to improve patient outcomes.

Emerging evidence from population-based and retrospective series suggests a potential improvement of clinical outcomes in metastatic prostate cancer. Moreover, metastasis-directed treatment has shown encouraging results in this setting. There is an increasing interest in exploring the potential of local therapies in advanced prostate cancer, but this has rarely been specifically addressed in the castration-resistant state, whether non-metastatic or metastatic.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the aggressiveness of cancer cells at the level of positive surgical margins (PSM) on the biochemical recurrence rate (BRR) by studying the Gleason score (GS) at this level.

Methods: We included all radical prostatectomy (RP) procedures performed from January 2007 to November 2011. All of the RP specimens with PSM were reviewed to determine the GS at the level of PSM.

Purpose: To prospectively assess the feasibility and safety of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) as day-case surgery for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Materials And Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted by a single surgeon between June 2012 and October 2015. Except for patients ineligible for day-case surgery due to unstable cardiovascular disease, all patients with lower urinary tract symptoms presumably due to benign prostatic hyperplasia were consecutively included.

Objective: To report the oncological outcome of salvage high-intensity focused ultrasound (S-HIFU) for locally recurrent prostate cancer after external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) from a multicentre database.

Patients And Methods: This retrospective study comprises patients from nine centres with local recurrent disease after EBRT treated with S-HIFU from 1995 to 2009. The biochemical failure-free survival (bFFS) rate was based on the 'Phoenix' definition (PSA nadir + 2 ng/mL).

Background: Up to a third of patients with localized prostate cancer have unilateral disease that may be suitable for partial treatment with hemiablation.

Objective: To evaluate the ability of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to achieve local control of the tumor in patients with unilateral localized prostate cancer.

Design, Setting, And Participants: The French Urological Association initiated a prospective IDEAL multi-institutional study (2009-2015), to evaluate HIFU-hemiablation as a primary treatment.

Introduction: Radical cystectomy remains the referent treatment of non-metastatic muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). The fast development of robotic surgery has led some teams to use it for the surgical treatment of the MIBC, in the hope of reducing postoperative morbidity. Urinary diversion by bladder substitution is a bypass option.

Fast-track and day-case surgeries are gaining more and more importance. Their development was eased by the diffusion of minimal invasive surgical strategies and the consequential morbidity reduction. In the field of kidney cancer, seven cases of ambulatory radical nephrectomy were previously reported in the international literature.

Objectives: To assess the postoperative functional outcome of PN in solitary kidney and define some predictive factors of renal change.

Material And Methods: A monocentric series of 45 partial nephrectomies on solitary kidneys, performed between 1988 and 2014, was retrospectively analyzed. Pre-, per- and postoperative clinicopathological data were collected in the UroCCR database.

Objective: To study the oncologic and functional results of HIFU as a first-line treatment for localized prostate cancer.

Material And Method: Enrolment of patients between 2006 and 2011 for the first treatment against localized prostate cancer with HIFU (Integrated Imaging(®), EDAP-TMS, Vaulx-en-Velin, France). The biochemical recurrence-free survival was calculated by using the Phoenix criterion (PSA>nadir+2 ng/mL).
