    Abstract Background and objective: Nodal metastasis is a major survival and prognostic factor in penile cancer (PeCa). Thus, accurate staging, prognosis, and treatment selection require adequate inguinal lymphadenectomy (ILND). ILND surgery should balance oncologic rigor with morbidity and postoperative complications. Our aim was to compare the feasibility and safety of open ILND (OILND) and videoendoscopic ILND (VEILND) in patients with PeCa.
    Methods: We conducted a single-center randomized trial with a within-patient design between October 2019 and April 2023. Patients who were undergoing either staging or radical ILND for PeCa were included and randomized to receive either OILND or VEILND on one side, with the other technique then used on the contralateral side. The trial was approved by the local ethics committee and was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05887921). The primary outcome was the safety of VEILND. Secondary outcomes included intraoperative and postoperative morbidity rates and surgical outcomes for the two procedures, as well as oncological outcomes according to survival estimates.
    Key findings and limitations: We included 14 patients in the study. Median follow-up was 12 mo (interquartile range [IQR] 12-17). There were no significant differences in operative time and the number of lymph nodes removed between OILND and VEILND. However, the median time to drain removal was significantly shorter in the VEILND group (15 d, IQR 13-17, 95% confidence interval [CI] 12-17) than in the OILND group (27 d, IQR 20-41, 95% CI 24-31;
    Conclusions and clinical implications: VEILND represents a safe technique to consider for either staging or curative intent in PeCa and seems to have an advantage over OILND in terms of morbidity. Further high-powered studies are warranted to confirm these preliminary results.
    Patient summary: We compared the outcomes of two different surgical techniques to remove lymph nodes in patients with penile cancer. We found that a video-assisted keyhole surgery approach seems to result in a lower rate of complications than after open surgery.

    Abstract We report a unique case of a robotic partial nephrectomy performed under continuous spinal anesthesia (CSA). A 63-year-old woman, active smoker with mild obesity and previous right pneumonectomy, was diagnosed with a growing 5.5-cm renal right cystic tumor. Being at high risk for general anesthesia, a loco-regional approach was indicated. Therefore, after multidisciplinary discussion, a robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy under CSA was considered mandatory. After T4-T5 sensory and motor block, retroperitoneoscopic robot-assisted surgery was successfully performed. Postoperative period was uneventful, with optimal pain control. This unique case demonstrates the feasibility of robotic surgery under CSA, for imperative indications.

    Abstract Objective: The treatment of invasive penile cancer is based on partial or total penectomy and perineal urethrostomy configuration.
    Materials and methods: A single-center retrospective analysis was conducted from January 2018 to December 2022. Data were extracted from clinical records and operative notes. As primary outcomes, surgical complications were described. Oncological outcomes through cancer-specific survival and overall survival were analyzed. Patient survival was estimated by a Kaplan-Meier analysis. Functional outcomes were assessed through the administration of the International Prostatic Symptoms Score (IPSS) questionnaire at 3 months follow-up.
    Results: Overall 10 patients were enrolled. The median follow-up was 16 months (Interquartile range (IQR 12-18)). The median age was 71 years (IQR 63-79). Operative time was set at 195 minutes (IQR 155-275). The median hospital stay was 8 days (IQR: 6-10). Postoperative complications occurred in 20% of patients, in 1 case surgical revision was necessary. Positive surgical margins were detected only in 1 patient. The median catheterization time was 15 days (IQR: 15-32). One patient developed local recurrence. At 1 year, the cancer-specific survival was 80% and overall survival was 60%. The median preoperative IPSS was 15 (IQR 12-19). The median postoperative IPSS was 6 (IQR 5-7).
    Conclusion: Penile amputation and perineal urethrostomy configuration was demonstrated to be a safe and effective procedure to address invasive penile cancer.

    Abstract Introduction: The management of localized penile cancer is based on organ-sparing approaches. Our aim is to report surgical outcomes of glansectomy (GS) and split thickness skin graft (STSG) reconstruction in a consecutive series of penile cancers.
    Patients and methods: Patients with a localized penile cancer underwent GS and STSG reconstruction in tertiary referral center. Data were extrapolated from a single center prospective database starting from May 2013 to August 2019. Two different techniques are presented in the video abstract: - a standard GS with dissection over the Bucks' fascia. - a salvage GS with dissection under Bucks' fascia.
    Results: A total of 34 patients were enrolled. 30 patients underwent a standard GS, whether a salvage GS was performed in the remainders. The apex of corpora cavernosa was transected in 5 cases due to suspicious of local invasion. Median follow-up was 12 (12-41) months. Operative time was 150 (105-180) minutes. Hospital stay was 2 (1-3) days. A modified TODGA compressive dressing and a catheter were applied and left in place for 5 days. After that a saline washing was used for 2 weeks. The incidence of intraoperative complications was minimal (2.9%). Positive surgical margins were detected in 2.9% of cases, requiring a salvage surgery. The incidence of postoperative complications was 29.4%: 11.7% were classified as Grade 1, 8.8% as Grade 2 and 8.8% as Grade 3a according to Clavien-Dindo classification. 1-year recurrence free-survival (RFS) was 88.2%. 1-y cancer-specific (CSS) and overall survival (OS) resulted 91.2% in both cases. Limitations of the study were the retrospective and single centre nature of the study, the lack of comparative group, the limited number of cases and of follow-up.
    Conclusions: GS and STSG reconstruction represents a safe procedure burden by a low incidence of postoperative complications providing a satisfactory cancer control, with a minimal risk of local recurrence.

    Abstract Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has dramatically hit all Europe and Northern Italy in particular. The reallocation of medical resources has caused a sharp reduction in the activity of many medical disciplines, including urology. The restricted availability of resources is expected to cause a delay in the treatment of urological cancers and to negatively influence the clinical history of many cancer patients. In this study, we describe COVID-19 impact on uro-oncological management in Piedmont/Valle d'Aosta, estimating its future impact.
    Methods: We performed an online survey in 12 urological centers, belonging to the Oncological Network of Piedmont/Valle d'Aosta, to estimate the impact of COVID-19 emergency on their practice. On this basis, we then estimated the medical working capacity needed to absorb all postponed uro-oncological procedures.
    Results: Most centers (77%) declared to be "much"/"very much" affected by COVID-19 emergency. If uro-oncological consultations for newly diagnosed cancers were often maintained, follow-up consultations were more than halved or even suspended in around two out of three centers. In-office and day-hospital procedures were generally only mildly reduced, whereas major uro-oncological procedures were more than halved or even suspended in 60% of centers. To clear waiting list backlog, the urological working capacity should dramatically increase in the next months; delays greater than 1 month are expected for more than 50% of uro-oncological procedures.
    Conclusions: COVID-19 emergency has dramatically slowed down uro-oncological activity in Piedmont and Valle d'Aosta. Ideally, uro-oncological patients should be referred to COVID-19-free tertiary urological centers to ensure a timely management.
