Prostate cancer: what about reproducibility of decision made at multidisciplinary team management?

Purpose: The prostate cancer (PCa) treatment is multimodal. Thus multidisciplinary team management (MDTM) decision-making process appears as a tool to answer all aspects of PCa treatment. Our aim was to evaluate the reproducibility of therapeutic decisions made at MDTM.

Accuracy of ultrasonography in diagnosis of testicular rupture after blunt scrotal trauma.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine the accuracy of ultrasonography for the diagnosis of testis rupture after scrotal trauma and its sensitivity and specificity for testis rupture, tunica albuginea breach, testicular hematoma, testis avulsion, epididymis injuries, and hematocele.

Methods: Between 1996 and 2006, 33 patients underwent surgical exploration for blunt scrotal trauma. All these patients had an emergency scrotal ultrasonography with the use of a 7.

[Vascular prostheses and renal transplantation].

Objective: To evaluate the complications, the morbidity and mortality of renal transplantation in patients with a vascular prosthesis inserted either prior to or at the same time as renal transplantation.

Patients And Method: Between January 2001 and January 2006, six renal transplantations were performed in patients with arterial vascular prostheses or requiring concomitant insertion of a vascular prosthesis during renal transplantation. The mean age was 58 years [range: 47-69 years].

[Atypical cysts and risk of renal cancer: value and danger of the Bosniak classification].

Objective: The objective of this study was to devaluate the risk of renal cancer in patients with atypical renal cysts and to compare radiological data used to establish the Bosniak classification with clinical or histological data.

Material And Method: We performed a retrospective study on 37 patients managed in our establishment for atypical renal cyst between January 1995 and April 2003. The following criteria were analysed: gender, age, clinical examination and circumstances of discovery imaging findings, Bosniak classification, treatment modalities and follow-up data.
