    Abstract Introduction: In the absence of consensus on the optimal approach to renorrhaphy in partial nephrectomy, this systematic review aims to assess the various renorrhaphy techniques and their impact on surgical outcomes.
    Evidence acquisition: A systematic review of the literature was performed in March 2022, using PubMed and Scopus, without time restrictions and research filters for studies investigating renorrhaphy techniques in partial nephrectomy. Studies providing sufficient details on renorrhaphy techniques and their outcomes during minimally invasive partial nephrectomy (PN) were included in this analysis.
    Evidence synthesis: Thirty-one studies with 5720 patients were included in the analysis. In most studies, tumor diameter was <4 cm. RENAL and PADUA scores as well as tumor locations were heterogeneous between the studies. The results of the use of hemostatic agents were conflicting among different studies with limited evidence regarding the benefits of its routine use in partial nephrectomy. The use of barbed and running sutures was associated with a reduced warm ischemia time. While some studies showed a decreased warm ischemia time when omitting cortical renorrhaphy, others found that it may lead to higher incidence of minor complications without any significant improvement in other outcomes.
    Conclusions: There is ongoing research to determine the optimal approach to renorrhaphy. The current evidence on the routine use of hemostatic agents is limited. The use of certain techniques such as barbed sutures, sliding clips and running sutures reduced the warm ischemia time. The omission of cortical renorrhaphy is still controversial.

    Abstract Orbital compartment syndrome (OCS) is an emergency that complicates intra-orbital, retrobulbar hemorrhage in most cases. Bony orbital decompression is an effective treatment for OCS, and displaced orbital fractures are protective. Nevertheless, in rare cases, OCS occurs despite a displaced orbital fracture. The aim of the current review is to present its pathophysiology and management based on what is published in the medical literature, and our center's experience. A systematic review of literature was conducted through PubMed, Medline, Embase, and Cochrane from inception through February 2021. The following search query was used: "orbital fracture" and "trauma" and "orbital compartment syndrome." Studies tackling the pathophysiology and management of concurrent displaced orbital fracture with OCS were included and a cohort of patients was constituted. A cohort of 18 cases reported in the literature were included (49.3 ± 30.6 years, 50% M). Given that OCS occurs with or without orbital fracture, pathophysiology of OCS is mostly explained by the division of the orbital fat into many compartments, due to the presence of Koorneef's fibrous septa. Management of OCS in such circumstances consisted of inferior-lateral canthotomy and cantholysis in 50% of cases, subperiosteal drainage with myringotomy in 22.2% of cases, subperiosteal drainage in 16.7% of cases, and complete lateral cantholysis in 16.7% of cases. Two cases who presented to our tertiary care center were also added to this review. Physicians should be aware that OCS can occur even with displaced fractures of the orbital cavity. When clinical suspicion is present, an emergent management is needed.

    Abstract Objective: To review the literature about combined urologic and reconstructive management of pressure injuries (PIs) with urethral fistulas.
    Data sources: Authors searched the PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases using the following keywords: "Perineum" or "Perineal" and "Pressure Ulcers" or '' Pressure Injury'' and "Urethral Fistula."
    Study selection: The search yielded a total of 95 articles. Study selection followed the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) statement, and the study was designed according to the PICOS (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes, Study) guidelines. Congress abstracts, letters to the editor, and editorial comments were excluded. After screening, a total of 9 studies (30 patients) were included in the review.
    Data extraction: Included patients received treatment for a perineal or ischial PI associated with a urinary fistula. The outcomes were recovery, complications, treatment failure, recurrence, and illness-related death.
    Data synthesis: Pressure injuries were mainly ischiatic (50%) and perineal (43%). Forty-six percent of patients had spinal cord injuries, and at least 40% reported voiding dysfunction. Sixteen percent had previous ischiectomy. Flaps such as posterior thigh flap, biceps femoris flap, and inferiorly based transverse rectus abdominal muscle flap had 88% to 100% success rates when used with urinary diversion techniques. Suprapubic cystostomy, the simplest method of urinary diversion, was successful in 47% of cases when performed alone and in 100% when combined with a pedicled omental flap or a transverse rectus abdominal muscle flap.
    Conclusions: Prevention and wound care are essential for PI management, but when combined with a urinary fistula, surgical management is unavoidable. Urinary diversion is essential before undergoing any type of ulcer reconstruction. Urethral reconstruction showed favorable results, further strengthened when combined with a musculocutaneous flap.

    Abstract Complex back wounds with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak constitute a challenge for surgeons in clinical practice. While repair of complex back wounds with various flaps is well described in the literature, there is a paucity of reviews and articles regarding optimal treatment for refractory CSF leaks. The aim of this systematic review was to present the different flap techniques proposed in the literature for CSF leaks fistulas and pseudo-meningoceles. A systematic review of the literature was conducted using the PubMed, Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases. Studies tackling different flap techniques used for spinal or skull base CSF leak were included in the studies. The main outcomes were complications and recurrences after previous failed treatments. Fifteen studies were included in the study, constituting a cohort of 42 patients (mean age 45 years; F/M ratio 1.15:1). A previous unsuccessful non-flap procedure was proposed in 88.1% of patients for their CSF leak. Only 16.7% had a recurrence of their CSF leak after the flap procedure. Free radial forearm flap and regional muscle flaps were more frequently used in the skull base region. Pedicled omental flaps and reverse turnover latissimus dorsi were the most commonly used flaps in the thoracolumbar region. No statistically significant differences were found between these flaps regarding rates of complications and recurrence. Flaps should be considered as a safe and effective treatment option for complex back wounds with CSF leaks. All proposed flaps in the literature seem to provide an equivalent cure rate for recurrent and refractory leaks.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Targeting Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) has paved the way for personalized medicine in prostate cancer (PCa) patients. This review aims to highlight the role of PSMA targeting antibodies in PCa, for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
    Recent findings: PSMA Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography has been a game changer in the diagnosis of PCa in the recent decade. Two anti-PSMA monoclonal antibodies have been studied in PCa: 7E11-C35 (limited use) and J591. J591 antibody was used for diagnostic purposes coupled with different radionuclides. Most importantly, it was combined to numerous therapeutic radionuclides such as Lutetium-177 (177Lu), Yttrium-90 (90Y), Indium-111 (111In), and Actinium-225 (225Ac). It was also conjugated to drugs forming antibody-drug conjugates (e.g. MLN2704 and PSMA-ADC). These compounds were tested in recent phase I/II clinical trials.
    Summary: PSMA targeting antibodies are very promising for further clinical investigation and continue to be a momentous research area, for both imaging and therapeutic settings. Although some clinical trials resulted in unfavorably safety profiles for some antibodies, they validated PSMA as a crucial immunoconjugate target.

    Title translation Prostate cancer, androgen deprivation, and risk of COVID-19 infection : A systematic review and meta-analysis.
    Abstract Introduction: Male gender has been shown to be a risk factor for COVID-19 infection, and men are more likely to develop severe disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) on the incidence of infection and severity of SARS-CoV-2 in prostate cancer patients.
    Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed after searching PubMed, Scopus, and ClinicalTrial.org databases, between January 2020 and March 2022. Analyses were interpreted through forest plots for the following parameters: risk of infection, hospitalization, intensive care admission, and SARS-CoV-2-related death, with random or fixed-effects models.
    Results: Fifteen articles were included in the systematic review and ten in the meta-analysis. Seven studies evaluated risk of infection in patients on ADT: OR=1.11 (95 % IC : [0.48-2.58] ; P=0.81). Six studies evaluated the risk of hospitalization in patients on ADT: TDA : OR=1.58 (95 % IC : [0.94-2.64] ; P=0.08). Seven studies evaluated risk of ICU admission in patients on ADT: OR=0.90 (95 % IC : [0.71-1.13] ; P=0.37). Nine studies evaluated mortality risk in patients on ADT: OR=1.07 (95 % IC : [0.61-1.87] ; P=0.82).
    Conclusion: ADT does not protect against SARS-CoV-2 in prostate cancer patients, nor does it protect against hospitalization, ICU admission, or mortality. These results remain questionable given the retrospective nature of the majority of studies included in our meta-analysis.
