[Operative management of penoscrotal elephantiasis].

Enormous oedema of the male genitals, such as penoscrotal elephantiasis, is a very rare condition. It is usually a result of recurrent inflammation, trauma or malignancy, although the main cause is lymphatic filariasis. Furthermore, it is a challenging condition for both patient as well as the attending healthcare team.

Robotic-assisted vs. open ureteral reimplantation: a multicentre comparison.

Purpose: Open ureteral reimplantation is considered the standard surgical approach to treat distal ureteral strictures or injuries. These procedures are increasingly performed in a minimally invasive and robotic-assisted manner. Notably, no series comparing perioperative outcomes and safety of the open vs.

Prediction models of incontinence and sexual function one year after radical prostatectomy based on data from 20 164 prostate cancer patients.

Background: Incontinence and sexual dysfunction are long-lasting side effects after surgical treatment (radical prostatectomy, RP) of prostate cancer (PC). For an informed treatment decision, physicians and patients should discuss expected impairments. Therefore, this paper firstly aims to develop and validate prognostic models that predict incontinence and sexual function of PC patients one year after RP and secondly to provide an online decision making tool.

[Successful laparoscopic robot-assisted surgical treatment of bilateral ureterosciatic hernias (Lindbom's hernia) and pelvic kidney].

Ureterosciaic hernia is a rarely described pathology that represents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for the treating physician. In this case report, we present a patient with symptomatic bilateral ureteroschial hernias and a pelvic kidney on the left. The definitive surgical treatment of the hernias was performed in the robotic-assisted laparoscopic technique.

Multicentric comparative analysis of Retzius versus Retzius sparing robotic assisted simple prostatectomy in the management of large prostate glands.

Aim: Robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) is a minimally invasive alternative to open simple prostatectomy in the management of patients with large prostate glands suffering from moderate-to-severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Our study aimed to evaluate two transvesical robotic approaches in order to compare functional outcomes and postoperative complications.

Materials And Methods: Clinical data from 111 consecutive patients from three tertiary robotic centers were retrospectively collected.
