Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of peritoneal re-approximation at the end of the procedure in transperitoneal robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (tRARP) and extended pelvic lymphadenectomy (ePLND) on operative, oncologic, and symptomatic lymphocele rates.
Material And Methods: A total of 79 patients were included in the study who underwent tRARP and bilateral ePLND performed by two different experienced surgeons. One of the surgeons performed the peritoneal re-approximation (Group 1, n=41) and the other did not re-approximate the peritoneum (Group 2, n=38) at the end of the procedure in tRARP and ePLND. Operative parameters and symptomatic lymphocele rates were compared between the groups.
Results: There were no significant differences between the preoperative parameters age, body mass index, and preoperative prostate-specific antigen values (p>0.05). The perioperative parameters were as follows: the operation time and estimated blood loss (EBL) was less, and the number of removed lymph nodes was higher in Group 2. However, only the difference in the EBL was statistically significant (p=0.03). Hospitalization time, symptomatic lymphocele, intervention requiring lymphocele, and complication rates were found to be less in Group 2, but only hospitalization time was statistically significant (p=0.04). Pathological parameters were similar for both groups. There was a significant correlation between lymph node positivity and the presence of symptomatic lymphocele in the correlation analysis (p=0.05).
Conclusion: It has been shown in this study that the re-approximation of the peritoneum does not provide any additional benefit in terms of complications. Considering that this process also increases the operation time and lymphocele formation, we think there is no need for re-approximation after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy.

Introduction: Current guidelines recommend percutaneous drainage as the first-line approach for the management of symptomatic lymphoceles following renal transplantation, with surgical fenestration reserved for refractory or recurrent cases. This study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of these therapeutic strategies in renal transplant recipients.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 109 renal transplant recipients with symptomatic lymphoceles treated between 1993 and 2023 at a single public center was conducted.

Management of symptomatic lymphoceles typically involves sclerotherapy and lymphangiography with embolization. When many afferent lymphatic channels are supplying a large-volume lymphocele, sclerotherapy is associated with high recurrence rate. This case presents a patient who underwent retroperitoneal lymph node dissection and developed a high-volume lymphocele that was compressing the ipsilateral ureter, causing hydronephrosis.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined postoperative complication rates in elderly prostate cancer patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) across various age groups.
- A total of 8,055 patients were analyzed, revealing similar complication rates for those under 70 and those aged 75 or older.
- The conclusion indicated that age alone does not significantly increase the risk of complications after RARP in well-selected elderly patients, suggesting that surgery can be safely performed on older populations.

: Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for children with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), but its outcome can be affected by urological complications, with incidence rates of 2.5-25%. The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of urological complications and their management in a cohort of pediatric kidney transplant recipients.

Background: In robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), the peritoneal edges isolate the extended pelvic lymph node dissection bed from the peritoneal cavity. We studied the effect of peritoneal re-configuration through peritoneal flap fixation (PFF) with curling technique on lymphocele development.
Method: We included 2087 patients who underwent RARP between 2010 and 2022.
