..Several techniques have been proposed to solve this problem. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and applicability of a modified Marmar technique in the treatment of varicocele in children and adolescents...

..The most common complication is transient penile lymphangitis, the cause of which is unclear. As the procedure allows selective sparing of the lymphatic vessels, it avoids hydrocele due to the performed procedure...

..This process provides high quality, low cost material for research on prostate cancer. The features of the collection protocol mean that the protocol can also be used in non-academic centres with only limited research funds...

..According to our meta-analysis, immediate ureteroscopy for ureteral stone colic seems to be a safe treatment with a high success rate. This evidence will be validated by further randomized studies, with larger series of patients...

..According to our meta-analysis, immediate SWL for a stone-induced acute renal colic seems to be a safe treatment with high success rate. This evidence will be validated by further randomized studies, with a larger series of patients...

..Recent acquisitions on etiology and pathobiology of Leydig cell proliferations, unusual microscopic presentations and clinical and morphologic features predictive of malignancy are reported...

..We think that microsurgery should be the first-line technique in small suspected testicular lesions in infertile men...

..Our modification to the Walsh RRP avoids caudal retraction of the urethrosphincteric complex and reconstructs the posterior fibrous raphe...

..Affected males have a female phenotype with undescended testis. Aim of the study is the description of the first case of bilateral intratubular germ cell tumor in androgen insensivity syndrome...

..To report our single-centre experience of patients with Leydig cell tumour (LCT) of the testis, which represents the most frequent interstitial neoplasm of the testis, and for which the natural history and therapy are debated...

..To report a case of successful testicular sperm extraction performed during an emergency scrotal exploration for trauma in a patient with a history of previous contralateral cryptorchidism...

..The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical course in patients receiving double platelet antiaggregant therapy who underwent transurethral resection of bladder cancer...

..Given the promising results in terms of complications and persistence, the treatment appears to be a suitable first-line approach for the surgical treatment of varicocele...

..The purpose of our study was to evaluate the duration, effectiveness, and complications associated with a new operating technique for varicocele, using a subinguinal surgical approach and antegrade sclerotization of the spermatic veins...
