Research paper thumbnail of Vesicouterine fistulae as complications of repeated cesarean section

International …, 1994

In this paper the authors report five cases observed during the last 10 years, all secondary to cesarean section. It was the second operation for 3 patients and the third for the other 2. Two patients had urinary incontinence and 3 had amenorrhea and cyclic hematuria. The authors confirm the importance of conducting adequate investigations to ensure proper diagnosis of the fistula, and describe the choice of surgical approach.

Research paper thumbnail of Randomized trial comparing an anterograde versus a retrograde approach to open radical prostatectomy: results in terms of positive margin rate

Positive surgical margin (SM+) rates of 14% to 46% have been reported in different radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) series. We evaluated the effect of an anterograde versus retrograde approach to RRP and specifically focused on the incidence of SM+. From January 2003 to November 2007, we randomly assigned 200 patients with clinically localized prostate adenocarcinomas to undergo a retrograde (Group A) versus an anterograde (Group B) open RRP. All RRPs were performed at our institution by 2 surgeons. For all 200 patients, we evaluated a panel of clinical and pathological variables relating to their association with SM status. In Group A, 22% of cases after RRP showed a pT3 tumour and 39% of cases with a Gleason score >/=7 (4+3); in Group B, 20% of cases showed a pT3 tumour and 37% of cases with a Gleason score >/=7 (4+3) (p > 0.10). The incidence of ...
