Introduction: Transvaginal retropubic (TVT-R) and transobturator (TVT-O) midurethral slings are the main surgical options for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Surgical indications for each of them are defined by clinical and history presentation. These techniques play a particular role in SUI recurrence after a previous urinary incontinence surgery, although there are few studies comparing their efficacy.

Objective: Prostate cancer is a significant health concern worldwide and ranks as the 4th most frequent cancer among men in Azerbaijan. While robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is the preferred surgical technique in many countries, open retropubic radical prostatectomy (ORP) remains the primary treatment option in Azerbaijan due to limited access to robotic surgical systems. This study aims to analyze the outcomes of ORP in patients with local and locally advanced prostate cancer.

Background: To evaluate the potential capability of preoperative urinary Prostate Cancer Antigen 3 (PCA3) in predicting adverse pathologic features in patients with any- risk prostate cancer undergoing open retro-pubic radical prostatectomy.
Methods: Sixty-one biopsy-proven, clinically localized prostate cancer patients who underwent open radical prostatectomy were included in a prospectively designed cohort to evaluate the association of PCA3 score with various Adverse Pathologic Features (APF). The Area Under the Curve (AUC) of the Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curve was used to quantify the predictive accuracy of PCA3 and a cut-off point was calculated to determine the predictability potential of PCA3 in foretelling the study parameters.
