Laparoscopic management of colovesical fistula in different clinical scenarios.

Introduction: Colovesical fistula (CVF) is a condition with various aetiologies and presentations. Surgical treatment is necessary in most cases. Due to its complexity, open approach is preferred.

Efficacy and safety profile of GreenLight laser photoselective vaporization of the prostate in ≥ 75 years old patients: results from the Italian GreenLight Laser Study Group.

Background: Benign Prostatic Obstruction (BPO) is the most common non-malignant urological condition among men and its incidence rise with age. Among prostate treatments, GreenLight laser seems to reduce bleeding and would be safer in the aging population.

Aims: We aimed to compare the functional outcomes and safety profile of < 75 years old (Group A) and ≥ 75 years old (Group B) patients.

Congenital cysts of the lower male genitourinary tract: a disorder with various treatment approaches and pitfalls-case report.

Background: The cysts of the male pelvic floor represent a rare clinical entity. Their origin is linked to an altered development of paramesonephric and mesonephric ducts during embryogenesis.

Case Presentation: We report our experience regarding two patients presenting cysts of the ejaculatory system treated with open and mini-invasive surgery.

Comparison between prone and supine nephrolithotomy in pediatric population: a double center experience.

Purpose: Stone disease in the pediatric age is an increasing issue. Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PNL) can be used for larger and complex stones. As in adults it can be performed in the supine or prone position.

Results of arthroscopically assisted reduction and fixation of anteromedial facet coronoid fractures at short-term follow-up.

Background: Varus posteromedial rotatory instability is a typical pattern of elbow injury that involves fracture of the anteromedial facet (AMF) of the coronoid, as well as injuries to the lateral ligament complex and the posterior bundle of the medial collateral ligament. Some authors support the idea that subtype II AMF coronoid fractures require fixation to restore elbow stability, but this topic is still an issue in the literature. The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical and radiologic outcomes of arthroscopically assisted reduction and internal fixation (ARIF) of AMF fractures.

A pelvic mass 21 years after a Wilms tumour: late recurrence or new tumour?

Introduction: Late Wilms tumour (WT) recurrences are rare events with poorly understood pathogenesis. They could be induced by previous chemo- and radiotherapy regimens, which can also prompt a rhabdomyomatous differentiation. Prostatic embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (PER) is an extremely rare disease in adults, with an aggressive behaviour and abysmal prognosis.

The use of endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery as an additional approach to upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma: Our Experience.

Introduction: With increasing experience and advancing technology, endoscopy for UTUC has become more common. Endoscopic Combined Intrarenal Surgery (ECIRS) could be an option for patients with low-grade and large-volume UTUC that could be either anatomically or technically challenging to manage by retrograde flexible ureterorenoscopy.

Materials And Methods: In this video, we describe, step by step, our ECIRS technique as applied to two selected clinical cases of UTUC.

Total anatomical reconstruction during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in patients with previous prostate surgery.

Background: In the literature there are conflicting conclusions for radical prostatectomy (RP) after previous surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The advent of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) has allowed technical advances in preservation and reconstruction of the anatomical structures. Despite the robotic approach, the discordant oncological and functional results between different series did not permit final conclusions.

Giant bilateral renal metastases from a meningeal hemangiopericytoma.

We report the third case of bilateral metastatic renal meningeal hemangiopericytoma (HPC) 16 years after initial intracranial presentation. A 47-year-old male patient presented with abdominal mass drew our attention. Computed tomography (CT) demonstrated bilateral renal masses and another mass caudal to the lower pole of left kidney from which it was separated.

Subcapsular renal hematoma after retrograde ureterorenoscopic lithotripsy: our experience.

Background: Ureterorenoscopy is the current standard treatment for ureteral and kidney stones, also stones greater than 2 cm can be removed. Complications linked to infectious processes or ureteral damage are the most frequently reported. Subcapsular renal hematoma is an extremely rare complication following this procedure.

Prolapsed ureterocele in an adult woman after endoscopic incision.

A 44-year-old woman underwent endoscopic incision of a right simple ureterocele with hydronephrosis discovered during gynecological assessment for stress urinary incontinence with Stage I cystocele. At the postoperative visits, she has reported a persistent flap of mucosa coming out from her urethra protruding in the vagina despite manual reduction. An endoscopic resection of the mucosa flap was programmed.

Synchronous bilateral testis cancer: clinical and oncological management.

Synchronous bilateral testis cancer (SBTC) is a rare event. It represents only 0.5-1% of all new cases of testicular cancer.
