3.0-T multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging modifies the template of endoscopic, conventional radical prostatectomy in all cancer risk categories .

Introduction: We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of 3.0-T multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) in preoperative staging of prostate cancer (PCa) and its influence on the extent of resection during endoscopic radical prostatectomy (ERP) among cancer risk groups.

Material And Methods: The data of 154 patients with PCa in whom mpMRI was performed prior to ERP between 2011 and 2015 were included.

Extent of lymphadenectomy in patients with bladder cancer undergoing radical cystectomy - a multi-institutional analysis.

Lymph node dissection (LND) performed at radical cystectomy (RC) has therapeutic and staging significance. However, the extent of LND remains controversial. The aim of this study was to analyze surgical patterns and results of LND in a contemporary series of patients with bladder cancer.

Contralateral adrenal metastasis from renal cell carcinoma with tumor thrombus in the adrenal vein: a case report.

A 64-year-old woman presented with contralateral right adrenal metastasis with adrenal vein thrombus, which was diagnosed many years after left nephrectomy with adrenalectomy due to renal cell cancer. The patient underwent right adrenalectomy with adrenal vein tumor thrombectomy for treatment. The pathologic examination confirmed metastatic clear cell carcinoma.

Infected urachal cyst in a young adult.

The urachus is the remnant of the cloaca, which in adults attaches the bladder dome to the umbilicus. After birth it obliterates and presents as the midline umbilical ligament. Patent urachal anomalies are usually detected in childhood.

Interobserver variability of Clavien-Dindo scoring in urology.

Objectives: To assess the interobserver variability of Clavien-Dindo scoring in urology.

Methods: A thematic survey was carried out simultaneously in nine Polish urological centers among 171 responders - 81 urologists and 90 urologists-in-training, made up of 16 women and 155 men. After Clavien-Dindo classification was presented, respondents were asked to grade nine typical urological complications according to Clavien-Dindo classification.

Clinical value of extended pelvic lymph node dissection in patients subjected to radical prostatectomy.

Introduction: Extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) is advised to complement radical prostatectomy (RP) in intermediate and high risk prostate cancer patients.

Aim: To assess the risk of nodal involvement in patients subjected to laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and to characterize the group of patients with lymph node (LN) metastases.

Material And Methods: Data of patients subjected to laparoscopic radical prostatectomy with ePLND between February 2011 and June 2013 were analyzed.

[Analysis of the clinical course of disease and subsequent dialysis therapy in a group of patients with rheumatoid arthritis and end-stage renal disease].

The chronic nephropathy is often present in pts with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In the study the authors retrospectively analyzed the clinical course of the disease and outcomes of subsequent dialysotherapy in a group of pts with RA and end-stage renal disease ESRD. During last 5 years ESRD connected with RA was found in 10 (8 F, 2 M) pts out of 325 chronically dialyzed pts (peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis) representing 3,1% of pts.
