Patients And Methods: A nonblinded randomized controlled trial was performed in 84 patients who had undergone transurethral resection of bladder, transurethral resection of prostate, or ureterorenoscopy between July 2017 and March 2018. The DIC group watched a hyperrealistic simulation on a tablet device before surgery.
Objective: To analyze the different treatments for postoperative chylous fistulae.
Methods: A literature review of the main treatments for postoperative chylous fistula, providing our initial experience of two cases of patients with postsurgical chylorrea, with conservative treatment.
Results: There is very limited experience in the treatment of chylous ascites.
Objective: [corrected] This paper presents a review of the concept of "nomogram" applied to prostate cancer, and specifically as a staging tool.
Methods/results: We describe the essential parameters for the evaluation of such type of predictive models: Calibration, discrimination and clinical usefulness. Such requisites are analyzed using a real clinical case in our clinical setting, comparing the "Partin's tables" and the "Miguel Servet University Hospital's nomogram".

Objectives: To evaluate if radical prostatectomy may positively influence cancer-specific survival (CSS), hormone-resistance-free time, metastasis-free time, and quality of life(QoL) of patients with prostate adenocarcinoma and seminal vesicle invasion, and also to update our thoughts about seminal vesicle biopsy.
Methods: 114 patients were included. Forty-six cases were diagnosed of seminal vesicle invasion after radical prostatectomy; 68 cases were diagnosed of seminal vesicle invasion after biopsy, not undergoing then surgery.
