Cryotherapy versus radical prostatectomy as a salvage treatment for radio-recurrent prostate cancer.

Introduction: The aim of this study is to compare outcomes of SRP (salvage radical prostatectomy) with SCAP (salvage cryoablation of the prostate) in local radio-recurrent PCa (prostate cancer) patients.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis of a multicentric European Society of Uro-technology (ESUT) database was performed. Data on patients with local recurrent PCa after radiotherapy who underwent salvage treatment were collected.

[Usefulness of laser Holmium Lumenis Pulse 120 H® in the treatment of renal lithiasis through RIRS: Preliminary experience.].

Introduction: The Holmium laser is the most used energy source in flexible ureterrenoscopy (URSf). The Lumenis Pulse 120H® laser has a higher system energy, a higher energy per pulse and a higher repetition frequency in relation to other types of lasers, which offers advantages in the treatment of lithiasis.

Objective: To analyze the results that we have obtained with the use of the Lumenis Pulse120H® laser in patients treated by intrarenal retrograde surgery (RIRS).

[Laparoscopic renal cyst excision: Large simple renal cyst treatment with renal cell carcinoma cells in its wall. Histogenetic considerations and bibliographic review.].

Objective: The incidence of simple renal cysts is very high, especially in elderly people. However, malignant transformation of a simple renal cyst is exceptional. Likewise, the treatment to be carried out, in these rare cases, is controversial, with respect to opting for radical renal surgery.
