Abstract

Simple Summary: In the comparison between the RARP and LRP approach, a clear advantage of the robotic approach is a significant reduction in operating time, days of hospitalization, and duration of postoperative catheterization compared to laparoscopic surgery. It is not possible to describe any certain oncological advantages, both in terms of surgical margins and pathological lymph nodes removed. In RARP cases a reduction to the limit of significance is described in terms of biochemical recurrence. RARP produces a more rapid recovery of urinary continence at 3 months postoperatively without significant advantages in terms of erective potency recovery. Background: The advantage of a robotic-assisted (RARP) over a laparoscopic (LRP) approach in radical prostatectomy (RP) remains to be demonstrated. Aim: The aim of the study is to use a homogeneous population in real life and single primary surgeon surgery to analyze the oncological and functional results based on the type of surgical approach and pathological features. Methods: This is a prospective trial on non-metastatic prostate cancer (PCa) patients considered after a multidisciplinary decision to conduct a RP, using a RARP or LRP approach. A real-life setting was analyzed at our Urological Departments using homogeneous criteria for the management of PCa cases and a single surgeon experience on 444 cases (284 LRP and 160 RARP). Results: Mean operating time was significantly lower in RARP (153.21 ± 25.1 min) than in LRP (173.33 ± 44.3 min) (p < 0.001). In cases submitted to an extended lymph node dissection (eLND), the mean number of lymph nodes removed was 15.16 ± 7.83 and 19.83 ± 4.78, respectively, in LRP and RARP procedures (p < 0.001), but positive lymph nodes (pN1) were similarly found in 15.8% of LRP patients and 13.6% of RARP patients (p = 0.430). Surgical margins (SM) positivity was not significantly higher in the RARP group (20.0%) when compared to the LRP group (15.9%) (p = 0.145). During the postoperative follow-up, a biochemical recurrence (BCR) was detected in 14.4% and 7.5% of cases in the LRP and RARP group, respectively, (p = 0.014). Better results of PAD tests at 3-month intervals using the RARP approach (mean pad weight 75.57 ± 122 g and 14 ± 42 g, respectively, in LRP and RARP (p < 0.01)) were described. Conclusions: In the comparison between the RARP and LRP approach, a clear advantage of the robotic approach is a significant reduction in operating times, days of hospitalization, and postoperative catheterization compared to laparoscopic surgery. It is not possible to describe any certain oncological advantage both in terms of surgical margins and pathological lymph nodes removed. In RARP cases a reduction to the limit of significance is described in terms of biochemical recurrence. RARP produces a more rapid recovery of urinary continence at 3 months postoperatively without significant advantages in terms of erective potency recovery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Persistent Primitive Hypoglossal Artery (PPHA) is a developmental anomaly of the brain superficial arterial circulation and is classified as a condition of carotid-vertebrobasilar anastomosis persistence caused by lack of reabsorption of the vascular network running on the hindbrain surface between the 4th and 5th embryonic week. It has an incidence between 0.03 and 0.9%, it is the second most frequent seen persistence of carotid-vertebrobasilar anastomoses after the trigeminal artery (TA), representing 85% of all persistent vestigial arteries (0.1–0.6%). Here a case of Persistent Primitive Hypoglossal Artery (PPHA) is reported being detailed in its morphological and clinical aspects. The patient, a 55-year-old female patient with high cardiovascular risk without specific symptoms presents at radiological morphological examination with an anomalous bifurcation of the ICA which gives rise to the ICA itself, which ascends without collateral branches up to the carotid foramen in the cranial base, and to an accessory artery, which enters the hypoglossal canal on the contour of the great occipital foramen, as a PPHA. A comprehensive embryologic analysis of this anatomical variant is offered and clinical awareness on it raised in view of a more informed an effective realization of it in daily clinical practice.

Abstract

Prostatic calculi occur very often in men, but exceptionally they cause an almost total destruction of the prostatic parenchyma. Preferred treatment in order to obtain complete resolution is either transurethral resection or suprapubic simple prostatectomy. We report for the first time a radical prostatectomy as a unique chance for huge prostatic stones in a 56-years old man with severe urinary symptoms. We perform a retropubic radical prostatectomy using a nerve sparing technique. There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications. Though radical prostatectomy is an invasive approach to treat a young man affected by prostatic stones and without prostate cancer, we chose to perform it because of the impossibility to obtain complete recovery with transurethral or suprapubic simple prostatectomy.

Abstract

The intrascrotal benign tumours are rare and are generally defined as arising between didymis and spermatic cord. Among the benign tumours of the epididymis and testicular adnexa, leiomyoma is second most common. Three cases of intrascrotal leiomyoma are reported: two originating from the epididymis and one from the epididymis and tunica vaginalis.

Abstract

We report a case of synchronous bilateral renal carcinoma treated by partial nephrectomy on the right and total nephrectomy on the left. Follow-up at 42 months after surgery showed no recurrence of the disease. The increasing use of diagnostic imaging techniques such as ultrasound tomography, computerised tomography and nuclear magnetic resonance now allows even small-sized renal formations to be identified. Synchronous bilateral renal tumour has a favourable prognosis, especially when compared with single or asynchronous renal tumours. The recommended intervention is total monolateral nephrectomy combined with partial nephrectomy. The treatment of neoplasms at a more advanced stage, of such a nature as to necessitate bilateral nephrectomy or chemotherapy, results in a significant increase in mortality. Recently, biological therapy has been proposed as a more promising short-term option using interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) and gamma.

Abstract

The anatomy of the gonadal vein has been the subject of several studies relating particularly to the aetiology and therapy of varicocele and left ovarian vein syndrome. Venography shows the presence of valves, the collateral branches, the anastomoses between the left gonadal vein and the retroperitoneal venous networks and the effective pathways of venous reflux. The authors observed a particular congenital anomaly of the left gonadal vein in the dissection of a female cadaver, and studied the venographic pattern of a male patient with left idiopathic varicocele. The aim of this study was to investigate, with the aid of a review of the literature, the embryo-pathogenetic basis of congenital abnormalities of the left gonadic vein, stressing those factors most conducive to errors in the diagnosis and therapy of varicocele and left ovarian vein syndrome, particularly in the scleroembolisation therapy of idiopathic varicocele.

Abstract

A variety of techniques for scrotal orchiopexy have been described in the literature, including those without suture fixation, such as the scrotal pouch. We perform a simple modified technique for bilateral testicular fixation in patients with bilateral and/or unilateral adult retractile testis and with symptoms characterised by chronic orchialgia due to testicular hypermobility or repeated funicular subtorsion.
