RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To externally validate Yonsei nomogram. METHODS: From 2000 through 2018, 3526 consecutive patients underwent on-clamp PN for cT1 renal masses at 23 centers were included. All patients had two kidneys, preoperative eGFR ≥60 ml/min/1.73 m2, and a minimum follow-up of 12 months. New-onset CKD was defined as upgrading from CKD stage I or II into CKD stage ≥III. We obtained the CKD-free progression probabilities at 1, 3, 5, and 10 years for all patients by applying the nomogram found at https://eservices.ksmc.med.sa/ckd/. Thereafter, external validation of Yonsei nomogram for estimating new-onset CKD stage ≥III was assessed by calibration and discrimination analysis. RESULTS AND LIMITATION: Median values of patients' age, tumor size, eGFR and follow-up period were 47 years (IQR: 47-62), 3.3 cm (IQR: 2.5-4.2), 90.5 ml/min/1.73 m2 (IQR: 82.8-98), and 47 months (IQR: 27-65), respectively. A total of 683 patients (19.4%) developed new-onset CKD. The 5-year CKD-free progression rate was 77.9%. Yonsei nomogram demonstrated an AUC of 0.69, 0.72, 0.77, and 0.78 for the prediction of CKD stage ≥III at 1, 3, 5, and 10 years, respectively. The calibration plots at 1, 3, 5, and 10 years showed that the model was well calibrated with calibration slope values of 0.77, 0.83, 0.76, and 0.75, respectively. Retrospective database collection is a limitation of our study. CONCLUSIONS: The largest external validation of Yonsei nomogram showed good calibration properties. The nomogram can provide an accurate estimate of the individual risk of CKD-free progression on long-term follow-up.

BACKGROUND: Perioperative bleeding is a potential complication of robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) that may worsen outcomes. The role of local hemostatic materials in RALP has not been adequately assessed. We evaluated the hemostatic impact of FloSeal (Baxter International Inc., Fremont, Calif., USA) in RALP. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed of 392 consecutive patients with prostate cancer who underwent RALP at our institution between February 2008 and July 2014. The patients were divided into 2 consecutive homogenous groups based on the use of FloSeal. Group A included 200 patients who underwent RALP between February 2008 and May 2011, with hemostasis performed using only traditional techniques. Group B included the remaining 192 patients, who underwent RALP between June 2011 and July 2014 and received FloSeal 5 ml after traditional hemostatic methods. We compared the blood transfusion rate, the differences between immediate postoperative hemoglobin (Hb) and mean postoperative day 1 (POD1) Hb levels, difference between POD1 and least Hb levels and difference between immediate postoperative Hb and least Hb levels. RESULTS: The intraoperative use of FloSeal significantly decreased the blood transfusions rate, from 8.5 to 2.1% (p = 0.004). FloSeal was also associated with significant improvements in the difference between the immediate postoperative Hb and POD1 Hb levels (p = 0.03), mean POD1 Hb and least Hb (p = 0.01) and mean immediate postoperative Hb and least Hb levels (p = 0.034). CONCLUSIONS: In this study, the use of FloSeal improves hemostatic outcomes in patients undergoing RALP compared with traditional hemostatic techniques, without increase of cost.

BACKGROUND: Laparo Endoscopic Single-site Surgery (LESS) represents an evolution of minimally invasive surgery and aims to improve cosmetic outcome and reduce surgical trauma and complications associated with traditional laparoscopy. This study was performed to present our preliminary experience in bilateral spermatic cord ligation with the LESS technique and compare the results with the outcomes of conventional laparoscopic surgery. METHODS: Between June 2007 and May 2013, 24 patients were referred to our institute for bilateral varicocelectomy. The indications for this type of procedure were bilateral varicocele with impairment of semen parameters or chronic bilateral testicular pain. All procedures were performed via the same surgeon. The patients were divided into two groups according to the type of laparoscopic surgery. Group A included 10 patients underwent LESS technique while group B included the remaining 14 patients that underwent conventional laparoscopy. RESULTS: The comparison between the two techniques showed some important advantages for LESS: shorter operating time (45.4 min vs. 88.3 (P < .001), shorter hospital stay (16.6 hours vs. 51.4 hours) (P < .001), early return to the normal activity (2.3 days vs. 4.7 days) and better cosmetic outcomes. No conversions from LESS to conventional laparoscopy were necessary and blood loss was insignificant in all patients.All patients in the LESS group reported full satisfaction with the cosmetic outcome, whereas 85.7% of patients after conventional laparoscopy were fully satisfied with cosmesis. CONCLUSIONS: Bilateral spermatic cord ligation with LESS is an alternative to conventional laparoscopy. The procedure was successfully performed in all patients. The trans-umbilical approach offers the advantage of a better cosmetic result, shorter hospital stay and less postoperative pain.

This study aimed at assessing a new line of treatment for lifelong premature ejaculation which is botulinum-A toxin injection into the bulbospongiosus muscle. Sixty patients with lifelong premature ejaculation were independently randomized into 2 groups; group I, 100 U botulinum-A toxin at 10 U/ml saline was injected with ultrasound guidance into the bulbospongiosus muscle and group II which was injected with similar volume of saline. The primary outcome was to compare both groups for changes in the Premature Ejaculation Profile (PEP), Intravaginal Ejaculatory Latency Time (IELT) and partner's satisfaction at 1, 3 and 6 months after intervention. The second outcome was to compare the adverse events in both groups. Fifty-seven patients completed the study. In group I, the mean PEP increased significantly at 1- (P = 0.02) and 3- months (P = 0.04) with insignificant increase at 6-month (P = 0.6) of follow-up. Also, no significant changes had been noted in IELT or partner's satisfaction scores throughout the study duration (P > 0.05). In group II, no significant changes had been noted in the PEP, IELT and partner's satisfaction scores throughout the study duration (P > 0.05). There were insignificant differences in the changes in the mean PEP (P = 0.7, 0.6 and 0.4), IELT (P = 0.6,0.6 and 0.5) and partner's satisfaction scores (P = 0.5,0.7 and 0.3) in comparison to the baseline values at 1-, 3- and 6- months, respectively between both groups. Adverse events were observed in only 3 patients (5.3%). In group I, mild erectile dysfunction and post micturition dribbling were reported in one patient each. Where in group II, one patient reported bleeding per urethra (P = 0.5). To conclude, injection of botulinum-A toxin into bulbospongiosus seems to be safe but failed to prove clinical efficacy for treatment of lifelong premature ejaculation when compared to placebo.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: Varicocele is the most common correctable cause of male infertility that always has been a debatable subject as regards how it affects fertility and the best way to treat it. Proper assessment of the disease bilaterality is crucial not to miss one side and not to jeopardize treatment outcome. This study aimed to objectively assess varicocele bilaterality in infertile men aiming to improve treatment outcome in this cohort of patients. METHODS: This prospective study was conducted between January 2019 and January 2022 including infertile males with varicoceles. Assessment of missed concomitant contralateral varicocele done pre-operatively by Color Doppler Ultrasound and intraoperatively by intraoperative Doppler device and measurement of maximal vein diameter of contralateral side. RESULTS: A total of 329 cases completed the study. A hundred cases (30.4%) were initially referred as unilateral varicoceles and 229 (69.6%) as bilateral varicoceles. After reassessment of the study population, bilaterality of varicocele was found to be as high as 98.5% (324/329). Repeat CDUS strongly correlated with the intraoperative measured varicocele diameter (r = 0.9, p < 0.001). Moreover, sperm parameters showed significant improvement 3 and 6 months post varicocelectomy. Normal pregnancy after 1 year of surgery occurred in 118 cases (35.9%). CONCLUSIONS: Varicocele bilaterality in infertile men is underreported. Thorough assessment by expert radiologists and andrologists is of paramount importance not to miss significant pathology or hazard treatment outcome.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess changes in quality of life and pain alleviation in women with refractory Interstitial Cystitis/Painful Bladder syndrome following a combined intravesical injection of Botulinum Toxin-A and Hyaluronic Acid instillation versus Hyaluronic acid instillation alone. METHODS: Two groups of women with painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis were randomly divided (one to one randomization). Intravesical injections of botulinum toxin-A and intravesical Hyaluronic acid were given to Group (I). Only Hyaluronic acid was instilled intravesically in Group II. Patients were given voiding diaries, a visual analogue scale for pelvic pain, the International Cystitis Symptom Index and Problem Index, the Pelvic Pain Urgency/Frequency Patient Symptom Scale, and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 to assess the candidates' quality of life. The Student t-test and mean and standard deviation were used in statistical analysis, with p 0.05 considered as significant (IBM SPSS statistics) Results: Thirty-four women were included in this study. The pain severity (VAS) of group (I) cases dropped dramatically from 8.5 ± 1.5 at the start to 3.9 ± 2.4 after three months and 2.9 ± 2.1 after six months. Among group (II) cases, the pain score reduced dramatically from 8.6 ± 1.3 to 5.8 ± 1.4 to 4.3 ± 2.6. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with refractory Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Discomfort Syndrome, Botulinum Toxin-A injection combined with Hyaluronic Acid instillation improves pelvic pain and improves quality of life.

OBJECTIVES: To report on the live birth rates (LBRs) following percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration (PESA) in men with obstructive azoospermia (OA) and factors affecting treatment outcome which is under reported in the literature. METHODS: This is a multicenter study that was conducted in Egypt including all couples undergoing intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) for OA using PESA-derived sperms. Men were subdivided according to aetiology into congenital, iatrogenic and idiopathic groups. Fertilization, pregnancy and LBRs were determined and compared in each group. The longitudinal LBR, crude and expected cumulative delivery rates (CCDR, ECDR) were calculated. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to determine signiï¬cant associations between maternal, paternal and ICSI factors with successful live births. RESULTS: Ninety couples were included in the study. Viable sperm for ICSI was retrieved in 89 men (98.9%). A total of 155 ICSI cycles with 17 frozen embryo transfers resulted in 81 pregnan-cies and 55 live births. After 5 cycles, the longitudinal LBR, CCDR and ECDR were 30%, 57.3% and 88.6% respectively. Maternal age and number of fertilized eggs were the only fac-tors signiï¬cantly affecting LBRs. CONCLUSIONS: PESA is a minimally invasive procedure for secur-ing viable sperm for ICSI in OA men, with high cumulative delivery rates. Maternal age and number of fertilized eggs are the only factors that signiï¬cantly affecting LBR. The contempo-rary longitudinal and cumulative LBRs provide objective out-come data to counsel OA patients undergoing fertility treat-ments.

BACKGROUND: The impact of warm ischemia time (WIT) on renal functional recovery remains controversial. We examined the length of WIT>30 min on the long-term renal function following on-clamp partial nephrectomy (PN). METHODS: Data from 23 centers for patients undergoing on-clamp PN between 2000 and 2018 were analyzed. We included patients with two kidneys, single tumor, cT1, minimum 1-year follow-up, and preoperative eGFR≥60 mL/min/1.73m2. Patients were divided into two groups according to WIT length: group I "WIT≤30 min" and group II "WIT>30 min." A propensity-score matched analysis (1:1 match) was performed to eliminate potential confounding factors between groups. We compared eGFR values, eGFR (%) preservation, eGFR decline, events of chronic kidney disease (CKD) upgrading, and CKD-free progression rates between both groups. Cox regression analysis evaluated WIT impact on upgrading of CKD stages. RESULTS: The primary cohort consisted of 3526 patients: group I (N.=2868) and group II (N.=658). After matching the final cohort consisted of 344 patients in each group. At last follow-up, there were no significant differences in median eGFR values at 1, 3, 5, and 10 years (P>0.05) between the matched groups. In addition, the median eGFR (%) preservation and absolute eGFR change were similar (89% in group I vs. 87% in group II, P=0.638) and (-10 in group I vs. -11 in group II, P=0.577), respectively. The 5 years new-onset CKD-free progression rates were comparable in the non-matched groups (79% in group I vs. 81% in group II, log-rank, P=0.763) and the matched groups (78.8% in group I vs. 76.3% in group II, log-rank, P=0.905). Univariable Cox regression analysis showed that WIT>30 min was not a predictor of overall CKD upgrading (HR:0.953, 95%CI 0.829-1.094, P=0.764) nor upgrading into CKD stage ≥III (HR:0.972, 95%CI 0.805-1.173, P=0.764). Retrospective design is a limitation of our study. CONCLUSIONS: Our analysis based on a large multicenter international cohort study suggests that WIT length during PN has no effect on the long-term renal function outcomes in patients having two kidneys and preoperative eGFR≥60 mL/min/1.73m2.

INTRODUCTION: We evaluated the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic ureterolithotomy (LPU) for the treatment of large proximal ureteric stone. METHODS: A retrospective multicenter analysis for patients with solitary impacted proximal ureteric stone ≥15 mm who underwent LPU from 2016 to 2019 was performed. Primary outcome was to estimate the stone-free rate (SFR). SFR was defined as absence of residual stones on postoperative computed tomography scan. Secondary outcome was to assess the perioperative outcomes, as well as to review literature data of randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses comparing LPU to other treatment options. RESULTS: Forty-four patients were included in our study. Mean stone size was 22.9 ± 5.8 mm and median follow-up was 14 months. Three patients had previous abdominal surgery, one patient had severe degree of scoliosis and six patients failed primary therapy. All stones were extracted successfully (SFR = 100%) without need of auxiliary treatments. Mean operative time and estimated blood loss were 86.6 ± 14.1 minutes. and 11.9 ± 14.7 mL, respectively. No intraoperative complications or conversion to open surgery were reported. No major postoperative complications (≥grade 3) were reported. Mean length of hospital stay was 2 ± 0.8 days. CONCLUSIONS: For treatment of large ureteric stones, our study showed that LPU achieves 100% stone-free status. When performed by well-trained laparoscopic surgeons, it is safe and has no major perioperative complications. According to our results and literature data, when counseling patients with large impacted proximal ureteral stones, LPU should be advised as the procedure that has the higher SFR, lower auxiliary treatments, and comparable complication rates to other treatments.

BACKGROUND: In endoscopic resection of colorectal tumors, the pathological assessment of the lateral margins is a strong predictor of tumor recurrence after resection. The aim of the current study is to evaluate the value of the peritumoral margins assessment in ERBT on tumor recurrence. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the data of 50 consecutive patients with NMIBC and treated by ERBT between January and December 2017. RESULTS: The lateral margins showed dysplasia in 16 patients and malignancy in three patients. Local recurrence occurred in 14 (28%) patients. It was noted that 57% of patients with recurrence showed some degree of dysplasia or malignancy in the lateral margin; however, on multivariate logistic regression lateral margins lesions were not significantly associated with recurrence (OR 2.175, 95% CI: 0.430-10.996, P=0.35). CONCLUSIONS: ERBT may improve the pathological report of bladder tumor. There was a trend toward increased rate of recurrence in patients with dysplasia or malignancy in their lateral margins; however, this was not statistically significant on multivariate analysis. Further studies with larger sample sizes are required to assess the value of lateral margin analysis.

BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study was to compare the surgical outcomes of retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) and open retropubic radical prostatectomy (ORP). METHODS: We included patients with clinically localized prostate cancer who underwent RS-RARP or ORP and met our inclusion criteria. We compared the perioperative, oncological, and continence outcomes between both surgical approaches. Continence function was assessed using the validated International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form. Continence was defined as using 0-1 safety pad per day. Biochemical recurrence (BCR) was defined as two consecutive rises in serum PSA more than 0.2 ng/mL. Events of local recurrence, distant metastasis, and cancer death were reported and compared using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. RESULTS: Between 1 June 2013 and 1 October 1 2016, 184 men were enrolled, of whom 125 underwent RS-RARP and 59 underwent ORP. Baseline demographic and pathological characteristics were similar between both groups (P>0.05). Patients in RS-RARP group had significantly lower blood loss, fewer transfusion rates, lower VAS score, and shorter hospital stay than patients in ORP group (P<0.05). Major complications (≥grade 3b) did not differ between both groups (P=0.121). Positive surgical margins were 28.8% and 24.8% in ORP and RS-RARP, respectively (P=0.494). The BCR free-survival rates in ORP and RS-RARP at 1-year was 87.3% and 92.3%, respectively (Log-rank, P=0.740). At 1-, 6-, and 12-month after surgery, 42.4%, 79.7%, and 84.7% of men undergoing ORP were continent, compared with 72.8%, 90.4%, and 92% undergoing RS-RARP, respectively. Men in RS-RARP group achieved faster recovery of urinary continence compared to men in ORP group (Log-rank, P=0.001). CONCLUSIONS: RS-RARP had better perioperative outcomes and faster recovery of urinary continence compared with ORP. Short-term oncological outcomes were comparable between both surgical approaches.

As robotics are becoming more integrated into the medical field, robotic training is becoming more crucial in order to overcome the lack of experienced robotic surgeons. However, there are several obstacles facing the development of robotic training programs like the high cost of training and the increased operative time during the initial period of the learning curve, which, in turn increase the operative cost. Robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy is the most commonly performed robotic surgery. Moreover, robotic surgery is becoming more popular among urologic oncologists and pediatric urologists. The need for a standardized and validated robotic training curriculum was growing along with the increased number of urologic centers and institutes adopting the robotic technology. Robotic training includes proctorship, mentorship or fellowship, telementoring, simulators and video training. In this chapter, we are going to discuss the different training methods, how to evaluate robotic skills, the available robotic training curriculum, and the future perspectives.

Ductal adenocarcinoma is a rare subtype of prostate cancer with a worse prognosis.Histologically, it is characterized by the presence of tall, pseudostratified columnar epithelium with abundant cytoplasm organized in a papillary or cribriform-papillary pattern. Several clinical differences distinguish this subtype of prostate cancer by the conventional acinar adenocarcinoma: exophytic growth into the prostatic urethra, different clinical presentation, different sites of metastasis and more aggressiveness. The rarity of this tumour forced to base our knowledge on small case series or on individual case reports, and does not help to establish appropriate guidelines. Therefore, the diagnosis of this tumour masks clinical implications that are still not well-understood.We report the case of a 69-year-old Caucasian man with a diagnosis of pure prostate ductal adenocarcinoma that early developed multiple metastases after radical prostatectomy. The patient started hormonal therapy with a fast biochemical and radiologic (positron emission tomography-computed tomography, PET-CT) hormonal escape. Therefore, we took the decision to perform chemotherapy with Taxotere along with prednisolone with a relative stability of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, but a new PET-CT scan showed a further progression of the disease. Finally, the patient underwent therapy with Abiraterone acetate that did not stop the cancer progression.No therapeutic options available showed a good control of disease progression. PSA proved to be a poor marker while, on the contrary, PET-CT scan has proved to be particularly useful in the management of the disease progression. More efforts are required to add new knowledge about this tumour and assess what is known until now.

PURPOSE: Stereotactic biopsy has improved prostate cancer detection. Although the new approach is superior, standard procedure is still useful in a cohort of patients in whom MRI is not available. The standard saturation biopsy technique is still debatable. We describe our technique and analyze its outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred twenty-five patients underwent saturation biopsy through a single transperineal access. Mean age was 64.73 year, mean PSA was 9.49 ng/ml, mean PSA density was 0.184, and mean prostate volume was 57.95 g. All patients underwent at least one previous prostatic biopsy: 24.8% of cases had diagnosis of atypical small acinar proliferation, 39.2% of cases had multifocal high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia, and 36% of cases had inflammation or benign prostatic hyperplasia. RESULTS: The detection rate was 38.4%. Prostate cancer occurred in 61.3% of patients with previous ASAP (p < 0.007). Cancer detection rate decreased with increasing number of previous biopsy and with increasing prostate volume (p < 0.001) and increased with increasing PSA density (p = 0.03). No major complications were reported. CONCLUSION: The traditional saturation biopsy may be useful when targeted biopsy cannot be used. Our technique is accurate for cancer detection. It can offer some advantages in comparison with other approaches.

A medida que la robótica va integrándose más en el campo de la medicina, el entrenamiento en robótica se está volviendo más crucial para superar la falta de cirujanos robóticos experimentados. Sin embargo, hay varios obstáculos a los que se enfrenta el desarrollo de programas de formación en robótica, como el alto coste de la formación y el aumento del tiempo operatorio durante el periodo inicial de la curva de aprendizaje, lo cual incrementa el coste de la operación. La prostatectomía laparoscópica asistida por robot es la cirugía robótica realizada con mayor frecuencia. Además, la cirugía robótica se está volviendo más popular entre oncourólogos y urólogos pediátricos. La necesidad de un curriculum de formación en robótica estandarizado y validado fue creciendo con el aumento del número de centros urológicos e institutos que adoptaban la tecnología robótica. La formación en robótica incluye monitorización, tutorización o fellowships, teletutela, simuladores y video entrenamiento. En este capítulo vamos a discutir los diferentes métodos de aprendizaje, cómo evaluar las habilidades roboticas, el curriculum en robotica disponible y las perspectivas futuras (AU)
