Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed data from radical prostatectomies in low-risk prostate cancer patients to see how earlier biopsy results correlated with surgical outcomes.
- Out of 184 patients, 87 met the criteria for low risk, with a small number (26) classified as very low risk; results showed that undergrading and extracapsular invasion occurred in a notable percentage of patients.
- Factors such as prostate volume, PSA density, number of affected cores, and the patient's initial risk group were identified as influences on poor pathological outcomes during surgery.
Article Synopsis
- Since 2007, laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS surgery) has been used for various urological procedures like nephrectomy and prostatectomy, with advancements in instrumentation improving techniques.
- The study highlights initial experiences using the SILS Port for radical prostatectomy, allowing for simpler and more precise insertion through a single incision, which reduces risks and enhances cosmetic outcomes.
- Future research is essential to compare the intraoperative and postoperative benefits of LESS surgery with traditional laparoscopy methods.
The present study reviewed the complications observed in 160 renal transplants that had been performed from 1982 to 1992. Complications were observed in 27 cases (16.87%), which falls within reasonable limits and is similar to the complication rate reported elsewhere.

However, further insights into the embryological anatomy of the testis and its layers have led to the development of new surgical concepts. We have conducted a retrospective study after using an "avascular" technique (extravaginalization-marsupialization) with optimum results.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA case of testicular gonadal stromal tumor in an 8-month-old boy is described. Patient evaluation revealed no hormonal alterations. The patient underwent orchidectomy and has remained tumor-free at two years follow-up, which meets the well-established criteria for benign tumors.

The temporary urinary exclusion or dry technique was effective in 8 of the 10 patients. We advocate the use of this simple and safe technique which achieves excellent results.
