Introduction Three-dimensional (3D) laparoscopy with a flexible camera was developed to overcome the main limitation of traditional laparoscopic surgery, which is two-dimensional (2D) vision. The aim of our article is to present the largest casistic of 3D laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) available in literature and evaluate our results in terms of pentafecta and compare it with the literature. Methods We retrospectively evaluated consecutive patients who underwent LRP with 3D technology between March 2014 and December 2015. Total operative time (TOT), anasthomosis time (AT), blood loss and complications were registered. All patients presented at least 3 months of follow-up. Surgical outcome was evaluated in terms of Pentafecta. Results One hundred fifty consecutive patients underwent 3D LRP. Mean follow-up was 16.9 months. Mean age was 67.7 ± 8.3 years (range 50-76). Mean preoperative PSA value was 8.3 ± 5.8 ng/ml and mean bioptic Gleason Score (GS) was 6.6. We had a mean TOT of 158 ± 23 minutes and a mean AT of 25 ± 12.6. Mean blood loss was 240 ± 40 ml. Eighteen (12%) postoperative complications occurred. Pathologic results: pT2 in 91 patients (58%) and pT3 in 59 (39.3%). Pentafecta was reached by 31.3% of patients at 3 months and 51.6% at 12 months. Conclusions Our oncological and functional results are comparable to those present in literature for laparoscopic and robotic surgery. We believe that our findings can encourage the use of 3D laparoscopy especially considering the increasing attention to healthcare costs.

Objective: Three-dimensional (3D) laparoscopy was developed to overcome the main limitations of traditional laparoscopy. The aim of our study was to compare operative, functional and oncological results of 3D and two-dimensional (2D) laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Materials and methods: A total of 102 consecutive patients with clinically localised prostate cancer underwent laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Patients were randomly assigned into two groups, 2D high definition (HD) camera (50 patients) for the first and 3D HD camera (52 patients) for the second group. Total operative time, anastomosis time, blood loss, complications and pentafecta rates for both groups were compared. All patients had at least one year of follow-up. Results: Total operative time was, respectively, 143 ± 17 and 118 ± 15 minutes, with a mean anastomosis time of 31± 12 and 23 ± 12 minutes. Mean blood loss was 230 ± 30 ml with 2D vision and 175 ± 40 with 3D vision. Pentafecta was reached, respectively, by 46% and 50% of patients at 3 months and 60% and 67.3% at 12 months. 3D vision offers an increased speed if compared with traditional vision ( P=0.02). Pentafecta results were significantly better in the 3D group ( P=0.03). Conclusion: We believe that 3D laparoscopy offers important advantages for surgeons and patients; its use should be encouraged. Level of evidence: 1c

Summary Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common type of cancer in men inanumber of countries. The choice of surgical technique for radical prostatectomy (RP) concerns both patients and urologists. The choice is not easy to make, since data is still limited due to the lack of large multicentric randomized research trials. For three years (2011-2014), 244 patients with limited prostate cancer were operated in the Urology Clinic of the University Hospital in Pleven. Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) was performed on 35 patients (14%), open retropubic radical prostatectomy (ORP) - on 199 patients (81%), and laparoscopic RP - on 12 patients (5%). The preoperative and post-op results from the first two groups were compared. For the follow-up period of 12 months, functional results in 82 patients of the ORPgroup were compared to the results in the 35 patients of the RARPgroup. The operative time was significantly longer in the RARPgroup, and blood loss was lower. The catheter stay was shorter in patients with RARP. The percentage of significant postoperative complications was 0%in the patients with RARPand 3%in the patients with an ORP. RARPpatients demonstrated better continence: 91%vs. 87%and erectile function46%vs.40%at 12 months.

Objective. This current research is aimed at assessing clinical efficacy and prognosis of three-dimensional (3D) printing assisted patient-specific instrument (PSI) osteotomy guide in precise osteotomy of adult talipes equinovarus (ATE). Methods. We included a total of 27 patients of ATE malformation (including 12 males and 15 females) from June 2014 to June 2018 in the current research. The patients were divided into the routine group ( n = 12 ) and 3D printing group ( n = 15 ) based on different operative methods. The parameters, including the operative time, intraoperative blood loss, complications, time to obtain bony fusion, functional outcomes based on American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS), and International Congenital Clubfoot Study group (ICFSG) scoring systems between the two groups were observed and recorded regularly. Results. The 3D printing group exhibits superiorities in shorter operative time, less intraoperative blood loss, higher rate of excellent, and good outcomes presented by ICFSG score at last follow-up ( P < 0.001 , P < 0.001 , P = 0.019 ) than the routine group. However, there was no significant difference exhibited in the AOFAS score at the last follow-up and total rate of complications between the two groups ( P = 0.136 , P = 0.291 ). Conclusion. Operation assisted by 3D printing PSI osteotomy guide for correcting the ATE malformation is novel and feasible, which might be an effective method to polish up the precise osteotomy of ATE malformation and enhance the clinical efficacy.

Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy plays an emerging role in the surgical management of prostatic tumors. We present our experience of the first 100 cases of extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Our results about continence, erectile function and surgical margins are reported. Materials and Methods Between January 2005 and December 2007, 100 laparoscopic radical prostatectomies were performed by one surgeon. We retrospectively reviewed margins status, operative time, blood transfusion rates, time of catheterization, length of hospital stay, continence and potency rates. Results The operative time decreased during the learning curve. The mean duration of surgery was 240 minutes (in the first 25 procedures the median time was 320 minutes, while in the last 25 cases the mean duration was 200 minutes). Five conversions to open surgery were required owing to failure to progress. The overall rate of positive surgical margins was 15% in pT2 and 35% in pT3a tumors. We had 3 minor complications (two anastomotic leakage and one hemorrhage from the anastomosis) and 2 major complications (recto-urethral fistula). The mean intraoperative blood loss was 450 ml (range 200–1500). With regard to transfusion, 25 patients (25%) received their autologous units, while 2% of the patients required homologous units. The mean duration of catheterization was 7.8 days. The continence rate at 12 months was 85%; the potency rate was 55% at 12 months. Conclusions The results of the present study show that by using a rational approach to training, a general urologist with low experience in laparoscopy is able to safely perform laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, and with oncological and functional results comparable to those of other published series.

Abstract Background: To report our refinement of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy by preservation of the sheath of prostate (SPP-LRP) and 1-year follow-up results.Methods: SPP-LRP was performed in 39 consecutive patients diagnosed as clinically localized prostate cancer from January 2016 to December 2018. The inclusion criteria consisted of Gleason score ≤7, tPSA<10 ng/ml, positive in no more than 3 in 12 needles by systematical puncture biopsy, less than 50% tumor core involvement, clinical stage T1-2, good potency. The oncological results were identified by postoperative pathology test. Functional outcomes, including continence and potency, were followed postoperatively.Results: The mean operation time was 108.3±35.2 min and the mean estimated blood loss was 129.3±46.4 ml with no transfusion. The catheter was removed 7 days after the surgery. There were no relevant postoperative complications requiring intervention. The histopathological results showed 2 cases (6.1%) in pT2 and 1 case (16.7%) in pT3 presented positive resection margins for tumor (R1). Only 1 case (pT3a,Gleason score 8) suffered pelvic lymph node metastasis. No biochemical relapse was observed after 1-year follow-up. The continence rates were 71.8% and 87.2% after 1 and 3 months, and no patients suffered G2 incontinence after 6 months , and 97.4% recovered continence after 12 months. The potency rates were 61.5% and 82.1% after 1 and 3 months, and that was 92.3% after 12 months. Conclusion:SPP-LRP is a practical and worth-promoting technique for RP. The initial results are preferable and promising in technical, oncological and functional aspects.
