Objective: To analyze the current state of women in urology in Spain.
Material And Methods: Descriptive study based on the results of an online survey sent between February and April 2020 through the database of the Residents and Young Urologists group (RAEU) of the Spanish Association of Urology (AEU). Characteristics of the survey and its results were analyzed.
Background: To determine the effect of positive surgical margins in patients who undergo a partial nephrectomy regarding recurrence, overall survival, disease-free survival, recurrence and progression-free survival, and metastasis-free survival.
Methods: We performed a systematic review accomplishing with Cochrane recommendations. We searched in Medline, Embase, and central.
A 43-year-old male presented to the emergency department with acute left testicular pain. Physical exam showed a tender left testicle and epididymis with mild swelling. Doppler and contrast enhanced ultrasound revealed a heterogeneous, avascular lesion with hyper vascularized surrounding.

Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) has been shown effective in reducing these rates, but there are few comparative studies between strains.
Material And Methods: An observational, prospective and multicentre registry studied 433 patients with a 12-month follow-up visit from 961 registered patients, assessing disease-free survival (DFS), progression-free survival (PFS) cancer-specific survival (CSS) and adverse effects.
Objectives: To determine the incidence of bladder cancer (BC) in the autonomous communities that include the largest number of cases in the national hospital BC registry (Andalusia, Catalonia and Madrid) and report the clinical, pathological and diagnostic differences and similarities of BC in these regions.
Material And Methods: An observational epidemiological study was performed in 2011 in 12 public hospitals with reference population areas according to the National Health System (Spain). Demographic and clinical variables were collected from new cases and relapses, with histopathologic confirmation of BC.
Objective: To review two cases with the diagnostic suspicion of urinary tract tumor by clinical picture and imaging tests in which pathology of the surgical specimen revealed metastasis of gastric adenocarcinoma.
Methods: 82 and 68 year-old patients with past history of gastric adenocarcinoma that had undergone surgical treatment 6 months and 6 years before urology consultation,respectively. They were diagnosed upper urinary tract tumors by CT scan.
NOTES (Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery) is a surgical modality that uses empty organs as an access to the peritoneal cavity, avoiding skin incisions. If we combine this surgery with the classical laparoscopic approach, a new hybrid technique is obtained. This approach will permit us to work on wide operating fields with large organs, as the kidney, minimizing skin incisions.

Methods: Immunohistochemical analysis of p53 in 34 patients (33 males and 1 female) undergoing radical cystectomy for infiltrative bladder cancer, with a mean follow-up of 16 months.
Results: p53 overexpression was detected in 18 patients (64%).
Introduction: The research on tumoral aggressivity parameters in prostate cancer, such DNA ploidy detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization, has significant relevance to refine prognostic on an individualized patient.
Objectives: To identify chromosome numeric alterations by FISH in primary prostate cancer focus and its corresponding lymph node metastases. b) To describe a cytogenetic tumoral progression pathway.
