Climate-smart Actions in the Operating Theatre for Improving Sustainability Practices: A Systematic Review.

Context: Surgical activity contributes to global warming though the production of greenhouse gases and consumption of resources. To date, no clinical practice guidelines have been made to promote and implement climate-smart actions.

Objective: To perform a systematic review of the available actions that could limit CO emission in the operating room (OR) and their potential benefits upon the environment, whilst preserving quality of care.

[Prostatic urethral lift using Urolift® system for benign prostatic hyperplasia: 7years experience].

Introduction: Urolift® system is a mini-invasive technique, proposed as an alternative treatment for classic surgery of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Our objective was to report the results of Urolift® system in our center after 7years experience.

Patients And Methods: Urolift® implants were proposed between February 2012 and March 2019 for patients presenting symptomatic BPH in our center, as an alternative for classic surgery.

[Are the UroLift(®) implants an alternative for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia? Short-term results and predictive factors of failure].

Objective: To report the results of UroLift(®) implants after a 2-year experience in the technique.

Patients And Methods: The procedure was proposed between February 2012 and April 2014 in patients with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia, as an alternative to standard endoscopic ablation techniques. Evaluation of BPH related symptoms relied on the IPSS and IPSS-QoL self-questionnaires, as well as on maximum uroflow (Qmax).
