En bloc greenlight laser enucleation of prostate (GreenLEP): about the first hundred cases.

Purpose: To report the functional outcomes, perioperative morbidity and surgical learning curve key points using "en bloc" greenlight enucleation of prostate (EB-GreenLEP) for patients with refractory lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Methods: Between December, 2015 and May, 2018, all consecutive patients with refractory LUTS due to BPH in our institution were included and underwent EB-GreenLEP by a single surgeon. Perioperative data, complications and functional outcomes at 1-, 6- and 12-month follow-ups were collected and retrospectively analyzed.

The effect of prostate-specific antigen screening during the last decade: development of clinicopathological variables independently of the biopsy core number.

Objective: To study the development of stage migration in prostate cancer after controlling for the number of biopsy cores.

Patients And Methods: In all, 1826 patients had a first set of 21-core biopsies taken between 2001 and 2008. Among the 801 patients with prostate cancer, 443 had a laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RP).

[Analysis of anatomopathological results of radical prostatectomy specimen of patients who answer to criteria for active surveillance of prostate cancer].

Objective: To analyze pathological data of the radical prostatectomy specimen in patients operated for clinically-localized prostate cancer and who meet strict criteria for active surveillance.

Patients And Methods: The data of patients who underwent a radical prostatectomy by a single surgeon between 2002 and 2007 were reviewed. We only included the patients that met the usual criteria for active surveillance: clinical stage T1-2a tumor, PSA< or =10 ng/mL, biopsy Gleason sum inferior or equal to 6 with no pattern of grade 4 or 5, cancer involvement inferior or equal to two biopsy cores, inferior to 50% of malignant tissue in each positive biopsy core and a PSA density inferior or equal to 0.

[Testicular implants, patient's and partner's satisfaction: a questionnaire-based study of men after orchidectomy].

Objective: To assess the satisfaction of men and of their partner towards their testicular implants after undergoing orchidectomy.

Materials And Methods: Hundred and twenty-four consecutive patients, who had undergone orchidectomy, and their partner were sent an anonymous questionnaire. The follow-up after the implantation was at least one year.
