Ipsilateral dual kidney transplantation: a monocentric experience about 15 cases and literature review
Abstract (EN) Objective: Our study aimed to support the viability of the concept of Ipsilateral Dual Kidney Transplantation (DKT) by presenting our initial experience and proposing a review of the literature in this subject. Methods: Fifteen ipsilateral DKT were performed at Nice University Hospital between August 2010 and March 2012. We have described our skin incision preferences, […]
The relevance of testing the efficacy of anti-angiogenesis treatments on cells derived from primary tumors: a new method for the personalized treatment of renal cell carcinoma
Abstract (EN) Despite the numerous available drugs, the most appropriate treatments for patients affected by common or rare renal cell carcinomas (RCC), like those associated with the Xp11.2 translocation/transcription factor for immunoglobulin heavy-chain enhancer 3 (TFE3) gene fusion (TFE3 RCC), are not clearly defined. We aimed to make a parallel between the sensitivity to targeted […]
High-dose rate brachytherapy in localized penile cancer: short-term clinical outcome analysis
Abstract (EN) Purpose: To assess clinical outcomes of high-dose rate interstitial brachytherapy (HIB) in localized penile carcinoma. Material and methods: From 03/2006 to 08/2013, patients with biopsy-proven T1-T2 (<4 cm) non-metastatic localized penile squamous cell carcinoma underwent HIB. Under general anaesthesia, after Foley catheter placement, needles were placed in the target volume using a dedicated template. Planification […]
Apport de l’élastographie en temps réel pour la caractérisation des masses testiculaires
Abstract / Résumé (FR) But La généralisation du recours à l’échographie en mode B pour surveiller des lésions testiculaires suspectes a favorisé l’émergence de nodules limites de nature controversée. L’élastographie en temps réel (ETR) pourrait améliorer la précision diagnostique. Nous en avons évalué sa faisabilité et sa valeur diagnostique en pratique clinique courante. Patients Tous […]
Dismantling papillary renal cell carcinoma classification: the heterogeneity of genetic
Abstract (EN) Papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC) is the second most frequent renal cell carcinoma (RCC) after clear cell RCC. In contrast to clear cell RCC, there is no consensual protocol using targeted therapy for metastatic pRCC. Moreover, diagnosis of some pRCC, especially pRCC of type 2 (pRCC2) may be challenging. Our aim was to […]
Salvage procedures for infected penile implants: A comprehensive review and analysis of functional outcomes
Abstract Background: The salvage procedure for infected penile implants (IPs) has been a subject of interest since its inception in the late 1980s, yet its widespread adoption remains limited. The aim of this study was to realize a systematic literature review to provide a comprehensive analysis of salvage techniques for IPs and assess their efficacy, specifically […]
Patients and general practitioner knowledge and perception of testicular self-examination for cancer
Abstract Purpose: Testicular cancer (TC) predominantly affects young men and early detection enhances survival. However, uncertainty surrounds the impact of population-wide screening. Testicular self-examination (TSE) is a simple detection method but there is a gap in current practices that needs to be assessed. Our goal was to assess the perceptions and knowledge of male subjects in […]
Standardized technique for ejaculation preservation during prostatic endoscopic ablative surgery
Abstract Purpose: Ejaculatory dysfunction is the most common side effect of benign prostatic hyperplasia surgery. Modified techniques have emerged with the aim of preserving antegrade ejaculation without compromising obstruction relief. None are standardized or validated. The PARTURP study is a randomized study investigating partial versus complete prostate resection. We conducted an investigator consensus meeting to define […]
Impact of body mass index on the oncological outcomes of patients treated with radical cystectomy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
Abstract (EN) Purpose: Body mass index (BMI) has been associated with worse outcomes in several solid malignancies. We aimed to evaluate the association between BMI and oncological outcomes in patients treated with radical cystectomy (RC) for muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB). Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 701 consecutive patients treated with RC and pelvic lymphadenectomy for […]
French language validation of the SSIPI questionnaire assessing the satisfaction of patients with penile implant
Abstract Introduction: The objective of this study was to propose a French version of the satisfaction survey for inflatable penile implant (SSIPI) questionnaire. Material: Questionnaire validation was performed in three steps: translation into French by two urologists, its validation by the committee of andrologist and sexual medicine (CAMS) and an independent translation in English by another urologist […]
