Patients and Methods: A self administered questionnaire was obtained by our outpatients before the urological visit. As a preliminary step we administered a very simple questionnaire consisting of four multiple choice questions: 1) Did your general practitioner examine your external genitalia in the last five years?

Does Exist A Correlation Between BMI and Gleason Patterns 4 and 5 At Prostate Biopsy?
2013
Background: Obesity has been related with higher Gleason grade and worse prognosis. Increasing proportion of Gleason pattern 4 or 5 is a critical factor for biochemical recurrence, progression and mortality. The endocrine activity of visceral fat could be responsible of the differentation of the prostatic malignant cell towards a more aggressive fenotype. The aim of our study was to correlate Body Mass Index with the presence of Gleason pattern 4 or higher at biopsy. Materials and Methods: Consecutive patients with positive prostate biopsy were included. A transrectal prostate biopsy procedure with 12 cores, was performed. All tissue samples were reviewed. Results: Out of 135 patients diagn…

2010
Purpose. Intralesional therapy is a less invasive method for the treatment of Peyronie's disease. The objective of this study was to evaluate safety and tolerability of intralesional injections of Iloprost (I2 Prostacyclin analogue) for its property to suppress in fibroblasts CTFG (Connective tissue growth factor) production, which acts in concert with TGF-ß to stimulate the fibrotic process.?Methods. Nineteen patients with Peyronie's disease were preliminarily evaluated by considering the degree of penile curvature, plaque size and local and systemic symptoms. Each patient then received weekly intralesional injections of 200ng of Iloprost in 1 ml of normal saline for 4-5 weeks. If tolerate…

La circoncisione nella corporoplastica secondo Nesbit: tempo obbligatorio? Esperienza su 158 pazienti (Circumcision in Nesbit corporoplasty: a mandat…
2012
INTRODUCTION: The Nesbit procedure is the most common surgical technique to correct congenital or acquired penile curvature. It is a common opinion that this surgical procedure has to be completed with a circumcision to prevent foreskin necrosis or phimosis. According to our experience we believe that some procedural "tricks" could strongly reduce that mechanical and ischemic trauma on the foreskin responsible for these complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From 1988 to 2010 we selected 158 patients treated with Nesbit's corporoplasty. The procedure was recommended to patients who presented a penile curvature wider than 30° and reporting however some difficulty or pain at coitus, or to pati…
