Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: Perioperative and immediate continence outcomes of an initial series.

Objective: The objective of this work is to present initial perioperative, immediate continence and oncological results in a series of 25 prostate cancer patients treated with Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

Material And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a series of 25 patients treated with Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy for cT1-T2b prostate cancer between 2018-2019. The 5 stages of surgery are described.

Prevalence analysis of urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy and influential preoperative factors in a single institution.

Aims: To assess prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) after radical prostatectomy (RP) and to analyze which preoperative characteristics of the patients have influence on UI.

Methods: Between 2002 and 2012, 746 consecutive patients underwent RP for clinically localized prostate cancer. We defined UI according to International Continence Society (ICS) definition: "the complaint of any involuntary leakage of urine" after 12 months of recovery, international consultation on incontinence questionnaire (ICIQ-SF) and pads/day was collected too.

Risk models for patients with localised renal cell carcinoma.

Introduction: We conducted a retrospective analysis of our series to assess the factors that influenced disease-free survival (DFS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) for patients with localised renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We also created our own risk groups.

Material And Methods: Between January 1990 and December 2012, 596 patients underwent surgery for localised RCC (clear cell, papillary or chromophobe).

Predicting the effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy on urinary tract stones. Risk groups for accurate retreatment.

Introduction: Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is a non-invasive, safe and effective treatment for urinary tract lithiasis. Its effectiveness varies depending on the location and size of the stones as well as other factors; several sessions are occasionally required. The objective is to attempt to predict its success or failure, when the influential variables are known beforehand.

Assessment and prevalence of urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy: Analysis of a historical series.

Objectives: Prostate cancer can be treated by radical prostatectomy and provoke urinary incontinence as secondary effect. Our aim is to calculate the prevalence of urinary incontinence, characteristics of leakage and influential factors, through a historical series.

Methods: We perform a descriptive, observational and retrospective study of 1310 patients who received treatment for PCa between 1989 and 2011.
