Background
Concerns exist about the effect of delaying treatment for prostate cancer (PCa) regarding both oncological and functional outcomes after radical prostatectomy (RP).
Objective
To assess the impact of time from diagnosis to RP on post‐operative erectile function (EF) outcomes.
Materials and methods
We analyzed data for 827 patients treated with RP at a single center from 2002 to 2017...
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of systemic inflammation by means of the neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in men with erectile dysfunction (ED). Complete demographic, clinical, and laboratory data from 279 consecutive men with newly diagnosed ED were analyzed. Health‐significant comorbidities were scored with the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). A complete blood count was requested...
Neglected side effects after radical prostatectomy have been previously reported. In this context, the prevalence of penile morphometric alterations has never been assessed in robot‐assisted radical prostatectomy series. We aimed to assess prevalence of and predictors of penile morphometric alterations (i.e. penile shortening or penile morphometric deformation) at long‐term follow‐up in patients submitted...
Recently, the cohort of men from the European Male Ageing Study has been stratified into different categories distinguishing primary, secondary and compensated hypogonadism. A similar classification has not yet been applied to the infertile population. We performed a cross‐sectional study enrolling 786 consecutive Caucasian‐European infertile men segregated into eugonadal [normal serum total testosterone...
Patients with clinical T4 (cT4) bladder cancer (BCa) infrequently undergo radical cystectomy (RC). We investigated the reliability of preoperative clinical staging, perioperative and survival outcomes in patients treated with RC due to cT4a-b BCa disease at a single tertiary care institution.The study relied on 917 BCa patients treated with RC and pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) at a single institution...
