    Abstract The pelvic anatomy poses great challenges to orthopedic surgeons. Sarcomas are often large in size and typically enclosed in the narrow confines of the pelvis with the close proximity of vital structures. The aim of this study is to report a systematic planned multidisciplinary surgical approach to treat pelvic sarcomas. Seventeen patients affected by bone and soft tissue sarcomas of the pelvis, treated using a planned multidisciplinary surgical approach, combining the expertise of orthopedic oncology and other surgeons (colleagues from urology, vascular surgery, abdominal surgery, gynecology and plastic surgery), were included. Seven patients were treated with hindquarter amputation; 10 patients underwent excision of the tumor. Reconstruction of bone defects was conducted in six patients with a custom-made 3D-printed pelvic prosthesis. Thirteen patients experienced at least one complication. Well-organized multidisciplinary collaborations between each subspecialty are the cornerstone for the management of patients affected by pelvic sarcomas, which should be conducted in specialized centers. A multidisciplinary surgical approach is of paramount importance in order to obtain the best successful surgical results and adequate margins for achieving acceptable outcomes.

    Abstract Background: Myoid gonadal stromal tumors (MGST) of the testis represent a very rare finding. They are an emerging clinicopathological entity with specific features and identity. Nowadays, pathological recognition and diagnosis of MGSTs still represents a difficult challenge in most cases and there are no data of specific radiological features of these tumors expect for what seen by ultrasound; besides a conservative surgical approach was never performed to treat these lesions.
    Case description: We present the case of a 20-year-old young man patient with symptoms suspicious for left varicocele, who was incidentally diagnosed with right testicular nodule via scrotal doppler ultrasound powered with contrast enhancement infusion and subsequent multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging. Then, lesion was treated through a testis sparing surgical approach. Histopathology, which included an external revision by an experienced Center, revealed a MGST with benign features, so that no further treatment was considered. 3 and 12 months after surgery a contrast enhancement ultrasound was performed with no evidence of recurrence.
    Conclusions: Previous reported cases of MGST were all difficult to characterize as a specific pathological entity; treatment usually applied was radical orchiectomy and a subsequent total Body CT was performed for staging purpose. No metastatic spreading nor recurrence were ever reported. Considering the favorable behavior of this pathologic entity, testis-sparing surgery with no radiation exposure during follow-up is a safe and effective strategy.

    Abstract Background: The widespread use of ultrasonography has led to an increased number of incidentally detected small non-palpable lesions, with Leydig cell tumours representing the majority of them.
    Objectives: The ultrasonography, real-time elastography and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography features of a large series of non-palpable testicular lesions were evaluated, focusing on the differences between Leydig cell tumours and other testicular masses.
    Materials and methods: Of the 4679 testicular ultrasonography examinations performed at the Authors' Institution between January 2009 and December 2018, 78 patients (1.7%) were incidentally diagnosed with at least one non-palpable lesion and were enrolled. Thirteen patients (16.6%) declined surgery and were thus excluded. The remaining 65 underwent surgical resection with frozen section analysis. The conventional ultrasonography, colour Doppler, real-time elastography and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography were performed by a radiologist having more than 10 years of experience. Demographic and clinical data were collected.
    Results: Leydig cell tumours were detected in 32 patients, being the most frequent benign tumours (49.2%); of the non-Leydig cell tumours, 25 patients had malignant tumours, five non-neoplastic lesions and three other benign tumours. The Leydig cell tumour group had mostly infertility problems whereas the non-Leydig cell tumour group frequently experienced pain (p < 0.001). Leydig cell tumours were all hypoechoic (32/32, 100%; p = 0.002), more frequently presented with well-defined margins compared to non-Leydig cell tumours (30/32, 93.8% vs. 19/33, 57.6%; p = 0.001) and tended to be smaller than non-Leydig cell tumours (5.3 mm [standard deviation 2.7 mm] vs. 10.6 mm [standard deviation 3.8 mm], respectively; p < 0.001). The vascular pattern characterised by the rapid wash-in followed by the delayed wash-out observed during contrast-enhanced ultrasonography was significantly associated with the Leydig cell tumour histological diagnosis, even at multivariate analysis (odds ratio 480.5, p < 0.001), and yielded a high diagnostic accuracy (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve 0.954, 95% confidence interval 0.903-1).
    Discussion: Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy in identifying benign testicular lesions, such as Leydig cell tumours; they are the most common non-palpable tumours detected in infertile men and may benefit from enucleation.

    Abstract Introduction and objective: ExactVuTM is a real-time micro-ultrasound system which provides, according to the Prostate Risk Identification Using Micro-Ultrasound protocol (PRI-MUS), a 300% higher resolution compared to conventional transrectal ultrasound. To evaluate the performance of ExactVuTM in the detection of Clinically significant Prostate Cancer (CsPCa).
    Materials and methods: Patients with Prostate Cancer diagnosed at fusion biopsy were imaged with ExactVuTM. CsPCa was defined as any Gleason Score ≥ 3+4. ExactVuTM examination was considered as positive when PRI-MUS score was ≥ 3. PRI-MUS scoring system was considered as correct when the fusion biopsy was positive for CsPCa. A transrectal fusion biopsy- proven CsPCa was considered as a gold standard. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and area under the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) were calculated.
    Results: 57 patients out of 68 (84%) had a csPCa. PRI-MUS score was correctly assessed in 68% of cases. Regarding the detection of CsPCa, ExactVuTM 's sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV was 68%, 73%, 93%, and 31%, respectively and the AUC was 0.7 (95% CI 0.5-0-8). For detecting CsPCa in the transition/ anterior zone the sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV was 45%, 66%, 83% and 25% respectively ant the AUC was 0.5 (95% CI 0.2-0.9). Accounting only the CsPCa located in the peripheral zone, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV raised up to 74%, 75%, 94%, 33%, respectively with AUC 0.75 (95% CI 0.5-0-9).
    Conclusions: ExactVuTM provides high resolution of the prostatic peripheral zone and could represent a step forward in the detection of CsPCa as a triage tool. Further studies are needed to confirm these promising results.

    Abstract Background: Minimally-invasive approach is one of the mainstays of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways. Robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) introduction has reduced the surgical burden on patient's recovery. Accordingly, ERAS protocol benefits may be more striking in RARC patients. We evaluated the impact of surgical approach on perioperative outcomes, Fast Track (FT) recovery steps and Trifecta success rates in patients undergoing RC followed by FT protocol.
    Materials and methods: We considered 147 patients who underwent RC, with open (Open radical cystectomy [ORC]; 47.6%) or robotic (RARC; 52.4%) approach at 2 tertiary centers. Urinary diversions were ileal conduit or orthotopic neobladder. All patients underwent FT protocol. We analyzed perioperative surgical and functional outcomes and Trifecta success rates (namely, defecation <5 days, in-hospital stay <10 days and no major complications). Uni and multivariable logistic regression explored the predictors for Trifecta success and the impact of surgical approach on recovery steps.
    Results: Patients undergoing RARC had higher FT adherence (95% vs. 61%) compared to ORCs (P < 0.01). Trifecta success rates were higher for RARC (79.2% vs 28.6%; P < 0.001). At multivariable analyses, RARC was an independent predictor for Trifecta success (OR 9.1), early mobilization (OR 5.9) and FT adherence (OR 3.33; all P < 0.001). Surgical technique was not associated with major complications or readmission within 90 days (all P > 0.05).
    Conclusion: RARC has more favorable perioperative outcomes compared to ORC, with higher Trifecta success rates. Accordingly, robotic approach should be ideally included in every center where ERAS protocol is applied to RC for maximizing patient's recovery.

    Abstract Objective: Local tumor ablation to treat small renal mass is increasing. The aim of the present study was to compare oncologic outcomes among patients with T1 renal mass treated with partial nephrectomy and local tumor ablation.
    Methods: To reduce the inherent differences between patients undergoing laparoscopic or robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (n = 405) and local tumor ablation (n = 137), we used a 1:1 propensity score-matched analysis. Local tumor ablation consisted of radiofrequency ablation and cryoablation. Disease-free survival, overall survival and other causes mortality-free survival rates were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Multivariable logistic regression and competing-risk regression models were used to identify predictors of complications, recurrence and other causes mortality, respectively.
    Results: Partial nephrectomy had higher disease-free survival estimates, as compared with local tumor ablation (92.8% vs 80.4% at 5 years, P = 0.02), with no significant difference between radiofrequency ablation and cryoablation (P = 0.9). Ablation showed comparable overall survival estimates to partial nephrectomy (91% vs 95.8% at 5 years, P = 0.6). The 5-year recurrence rates were 7.9% versus 23.8% for patients aged ≤70 years, and 2.5% versus 11.9% for patients aged >70 years treated with partial nephrectomy and ablation, respectively; the 5-year other causes mortality rates were 0% and 2.2% for patients treated with partial nephrectomy and ablation aged ≤70 years, and 3% versus 10.9% for patients aged >70 years treated with partial nephrectomy and ablation, respectively. At multivariable analysis, ablation was associated with fewer complications (odds ratio 0.41; P = 0.01). At competing risks analysis, age (hazard ratio 0.96) and ablation (hazard ratio 4.56) were independent predictors of disease recurrence (all P ≤ 0.008).
    Conclusions: Local tumor ablation showed a higher risk of recurrence and lower risk of complications compared with partial nephrectomy, with comparable overall survival rates.

    Abstract Background: We aimed at comparing perioperative outcomes in patients submitted to radical cystectomy followed by Fast Track (FT) protocol or standard management, and propose a definition of Trifecta, to improve standardized quality assessment for RC.
    Methods: We considered 191 patients submitted to RC between January 2017 and January 2019. Patients followed FT or standard management according to surgeon's preference. Preoperative and intraoperative characteristics, alongside with postoperative outcomes were compared between the two groups. Trifecta was defined as follows: in-hospital stay (HS) ≤ 10 days, time to defecation (TtD) below the overall mean and no major (≥ Clavien-Dindo grade III) complications. Finally, Trifecta achievement rates were assessed in both groups.
    Results: Seventy-five patients (39%) followed the FT protocol and 116 (61%) standard management. The two groups were homogeneous for preoperative, intraoperative and pathological characteristics. Patients in the FT group had shorter TtD (5 vs. 6 days P=0.006), HS (12 vs. 14 days P=0.008) and lower readmission rate (8% vs. 19% P=0.04). Early complication rates and grades were similar, while less late complications were found in FT group (6.7% vs. 21.6% P=0.006). Trifecta achievement rate was higher for FT group (31% vs. 8% P<0.001). Single-item failure percentages for HS, TtD and major grade complications were respectively 90%, 60% and 19%, with no difference between the two groups.
    Conclusions: FT protocol can safely consent faster bowel recovery and earlier discharge after RC, plus reducing readmission rates. Using a Trifecta incorporating essential perioperative outcomes, could improve standardized quality assessment for RC.

    Abstract The presence of amyloid deposits in bladder walls is a rare histological finding. It can be linked to primary (limited to bladder) or secondary (systemic, associated with chronic inflammatory disorders) amyloidosis. Secondary bladder involvement is very uncommon; it usually presents with gross hematuria, which is challenging to manage, due to frail bladder mucosa and/or necrosis. We present a case of 54-year old man with secondary bladder amyloidosis due to Crohn's disease, that caused gross hematuria and severe anemia, which was managed conservatively by endoscopic transurethral resection, diatermocoagulation, clot evacuation and urinary drainage by bilateral percutaneous nephrostomy, with spontaneous resolution. Secondary bladder amyloidosis is a rare condition that presents with severe hematuria, difficult to control with standard management. Owing to chronic nature of the disease, treatment should be aimed to a conservative approach whenever possible. In case of failure, invasive procedures should be considered as salvage therapies.
