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 efficacy of the conventional surgical techniques in the treatment of simple hydrocele has been well-established. 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.

The present study reports our experience in the endourological treatment of fistulas of the distal ureter in renal transplant patients. 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.
