Background and Objectives:Our objective is to clarify the effect of previous transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or open prostatectomy (OP) on surgical, oncological, and functional outcomes after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).Methods:Between August 1, 2009, and March 31, 2013, 380 patients underwent RARP. Of these, 25 patients had undergone surgery for primary bladder outlet obstruction (TURP, 20 patients; OP, 5 patents) (group 1). A match-paired analysis was performed to identify 36 patients without a history of prostate surgery with equivalent clinicopathologic characteristics to serve as a control group (group 2). Patients followed up for 12 months were assessed.Results:Both groups were similar with respect to preoperative characteristics, as mean age, body mass index, median prostate-specific antigen, prostate volume, clinical stage, the biopsy Gleason score, D'Amico risk, the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification score, the International Prostate Symptom Score, continence, and potency status. RARP resulted in longer console and anastomotic time, as well as higher blood loss compared with surgery-naive patients. We noted a greater rate of urinary leakage (pelvic drainage, >4 d) in group 1 (12% vs 2,8%). The anastomotic stricture rate was significantly higher in group 1 (16% vs 2.8%). No difference was found in the pathologic stage, positive surgical margin, and nerve-sparing procedure between the groups. Biochemical recurrence was observed in 12% (group 1) and 11.1% (group 2) of patients, respectively. No significant difference was found in the continence and potency rates.Conclusions:RARP after TURP or OP is a challenging but oncologically promising procedure with a longer console and anastomosis time, as well as higher blood loss and higher anastomotic stricture rate.

Benign lesions and TIN in the neighbouring testis were significantly decreased and multifocality was increased in patients with a tumour mass size of ≤1 cm. Testis-sparing surgery should be performed with caution and a safety rim of normal tissue should also be excised.

Insertion of foreign bodies into the genitourinary system is a pathological action believed to increase sexual gratification usually for psychiatric patients and mentally retarded cases especially during masturbation. In this report, we represented a male case who is inserted a 195 cm cannula by himself into the bladder through the urethra because of his psychiatric disorder.

ÖZAmaç: Bu çalışma ile prostat kanseri nedeniyle robot yardımlı radikal prostatektomi yapılan hastalarda kontinansı etkileyen faktörleri değer-lendirmeyi amaçladık. Yöntemler: Ağustos 2009 -Ocak 2014 tarihleri arasında Bakırköy Dr. Sadi Konuk Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Üroloji Kliniğinde prostat kanseri nedeniyle Robot yardımlı laparaskopik radikal prostatektomi uygulanan 385 hastanın verileri retrospektif olarak incelendi. Bulgular: Preop Uluslararası Erektil İşlev İndexi (IIEF) skoru ≥22 olanlar ile D'Amico sınıflamasına göre düşük riskli hastalarda 12.aydaki kontinans oranı istatistiksel olarak anlamlı yüksek saptandı (p<0,05). Üçüncü aydaki değerlendirmede klasik interfasyal teknik, klasik intrafasyal teknik ve fasya koruyucu intrafasyal teknik uygulanan hastaların klasik ekstrafasyal teknik uygulanan hastalara göre kontinans oranı istatistiksel olarak anlamlı yüksek saptandı (p<0,05). Sinir koruyucu cerrahi yapılan hastalar ile sinir koruyucu cerrahi yapılmayan hastalar karşılaştırıldığında sinir koruyucu cerrahi yapılan hastalarda kontinans oranı istatistiksel olarak anlamlı yüksek saptandı (p<0,05). Sonuç: Biz erken ve geç kontinansın geri kazanılmasında klasik intrafasyal ve fasya koruyucu intrafasyal tekniğin önemli olduğunu saptadık. Bununla birlikte geç kontinansın geri kazanılmasında, hastaların preop IIEF skorunun yüksek olmasının ve D'Amico sınıflamasına göre düşük risk grubunda olmasının önemli olduğunu saptadık.

Methods: Between August 2009 and January 2014, data of 385 patients, who were treated with robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy for prostate cancer at our clinic, was retrospectively analyzed. Results: The continence rate was significantly higher at the 12-month evaluation in patients who preoperatively had an International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) score of >22 and who were at a low risk according to the D'Amico classification (p<0.05). The continence rate was significantly higher at the 3-month evaluation in patients who underwent interfascial, classical intrafascial, and fascia-sparing intrafascial techniques compared with those who underwent the classical extrafascial technique. The continence rate was significantly higher in patients who underwent a nerve-sparing surgery. Conclusion: We found that for the recovery of early and late continences, the use of classical intrafascial and fascia-sparing intrafascial techniques is important. However, we have determined that being at a low risk according to the D'Amico classification and having a high IIEF score are important for the recovery of late continence.
