Abstract
BACKGROUND In the context of shared decision-making it is important to know more about information needs of prostate cancer patients. Therefore, this study investigates content and extent of these information needs. MATERIAL AND METHODS We surveyed 330 patients of 4 urological Clinics in Switzerland with a well-established written questionnaire between 3 and 24 months after their diagnosis of an early-stage prostate cancer. A total of 179 patients responded and 128 (39%) questionnaires were entered into final statistical analysis. RESULTS Patients expressed broad information needs and pronounced differences between individuals were observed. Each of the 92 questions presented was rated as "essential" by at least 18% of the patients. On average 50 questions were rated as 'essential'. One patient rated only four questions as 'essential' whereas another participant reported all 92 questions as being 'essential' to him. CONCLUSIONS Concerning patient education it is important to identify the individual information needs of each prostate cancer patient separately.

Abstract
Primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) of the kidney is a rare disease with high malignant potential. It affects young adults and has the tendency towards early metastasis. Relying on recently available immunohistochemistry and cytogenetic investigations, today most authors define PNET as part of the same nosologic entity as Ewing's sarcoma. We present the case of a 22-year-old man with a PNET arising from the kidney with, to our knowledge, a previously undescribed finding of hyaline cells within the tumor.

Abstract
Retroperitoneoscopy enables quick, simple, and direct access to the retroperitoneal cavity. We describe our operative technique and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of retroperitoneoscopy. We report on our experience with this operative technique after 360 procedures: nephrectomy, partial nephrectomy, living donor nephrectomy, cryotherapy of renal tumors, pyeloplasty, adrenalectomy, and further operations. In addition, we discuss indications that are suitable for beginners to retroperitoneoscopy and some topics that require special attention.

Abstract
Testicular cysts are increasingly diagnosed in the course of scrotal ultrasound examination. Among other things this is due to the general availability of modern high-resolution ultrasound devices. Benign and malignant diseases with testicular cyst formation need to be differentiated by differential diagnosis and by their aetiology. Benign diseases with cystic space-occupying lesions of the testicle are tubular ectasia of the rete testis, cystic dysplasia, epidermoid cysts, simple intraparenchymatous testicular cysts and cysts of the tunica albuginea. Testicular dermoid cyst was long misleadingly regarded as potentially malignant, but is now classified as benign. On diagnosis of a benign lesion of the testis an organ-conserving surgical therapy or an observational watch-and-wait strategy can be recommended in most cases.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Laser therapy of symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) remains a challenge for most urologic surgeons. The main goal of laser surgery is to achieve a marked volume reduction and to decrease bladder outlet obstruction and lower urinary tract symptoms with minimal morbidity. Laser therapy encompasses a variety of techniques using different laser wavelengths, application systems, and surgical techniques to achieve contrasting tissue effects. In an in vitro animal model we compared the vaporization and coagulation effects of the potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser, holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho:YAG) laser, and diode laser (980 nm). MATERIAL AND METHODS In an in vitro model using isolated perfused porcine kidneys we investigated the vaporization, the coagulation effect, and the bleeding rate of the KTP, Ho:YAG, and diode lasers on five porcine kidneys each. The application of each laser type was standardized. The area of laser application was 1 cm x 1 cm. The KTP group received an application with 80 W, the Ho:YAG group an application with 10-30 W, and the diode group an application with 30, 60, and 100 W. Hemostasis was measured semiquantitatively. Ablation and coagulation were investigated macro- and microscopically. RESULTS Concerning the ablation capacity, the diode laser is most effective (more than fivefold) compared to the KTP and Ho:YAG lasers but demonstrated a rather large coagulation zone of up to tenfold in comparison to the KTP and Ho:YAG lasers. Semiquantitatively, in terms of bleeding rate, all lasers were equivalent in this ex vivo model. CONCLUSIONS Our very early and limited experience indicates that KTP (80 W) and Ho:YAG (30 W) laser application are equivalent in terms of tissue ablation capacity and coagulation in an experimental setting. The diode laser at 980 nm is superior in terms of ablation capacity but has a large coagulation zone. Concerning the bleeding rate all tested lasers are equivalent in this ex vivo model.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Secondary vesicoureteral reflux (SVUR) after renal transplantation may cause recurrent urinary-tract infections (UTI) and loss of renal function. There are only a few reports on the endoscopic treatment of SVUR by transurethral injection therapy. This is the first report of transurethral injection of dextranomer/hyaluronic acid copolymer (Deflux; Q-Med Scandinavia, Uppsala, Sweden) to relieve SVUR after renal transplantation. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between November 2003 and October 2005, four women were treated for SVUR with transurethral injections of dextranomer/hyaluronic acid copolymer. All patients had deterioration of renal function attributable to SVUR, recurrent UTI, or both. The mean follow-up was 29 months (range 16-38 months). RESULTS Initially, SVUR was corrected in all patients. Recurrent SVUR made a second treatment necessary in two patients. Three patients had no signs of SVUR 15, 27, and 36 months after the treatment. Renal function remained stable in these patients, and two were free of UTI. One of the patients who received two Deflux injections developed a filiform stenosis of the distal ureter, which was corrected by ureteropyeloplasty with the native ureter. CONCLUSION Transurethral injection therapy with Deflux is a minimally invasive treatment option for patients with SVUR after renal transplantation. A second treatment seems to be necessary in some cases. Complications such as ureteral obstruction may occur.

Abstract
Fluorescence cystoscopy of the urinary bladder allows to better identify tumors and altered bladder mucosa (e.g. Carcinoma in situ). Instillation of 5-aminolevulinic acid or hexyl aminolevulinate approx. two hours before transurethral resection leads to metabolism of these compounds in the Häm-biosynthesis and to accumulation of protoporphyrin IX (PPIX). PPIX is an excellent fluorochrom, which lights up red when illuminated by blue light. During transurethral resection all tumors and all suspicious mucosal areas can be completely resected. As a consequence recurrence rate drops and patients need less re-operations and hospitalizations.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We retrospectively compared perioperative donor outcomes and early complication rate of right- and left-sided retroperitoneoscopic living donor nephrectomy (RLDN). METHODS From November 2001 to April 2006, we performed 118 RLDN. Including 24% (n = 28) right-sided RLDN and 76% (n = 90) left-sided RLDN. Perioperative results and the rate of adverse events were compared for both sides. RESULTS We observed no significant difference in operation time, blood loss, warm ischemia time, or postoperative creatinine levels between right- and left-sided kidney donors. RLDN was successfully performed in 116 of 118 donors. One donor in each group had to be converted to an open approach. We observed one graft loss due to renal artery kinking in one recipient after left-sided RLDN. Two right donations needed a saphenous venous patch due to a short right renal vein (<2 cm). Overall, intraoperative and postoperative complications were comparable between the two donor groups. CONCLUSION Right-sided RLDN provides comparable perioperative and postoperative results to those of left-sided RLDN. Our results demonstrated that groups with significant experience in RLDN can perform right living donor nephrectomy safely and efficiently with minimal invasiveness.

Abstract
Die Elektroresektion der Prostata (TURP) gilt als «Goldstandard» bei der operativen Therapie der benignen Prostatahyperplasie (BPH). Trotz technischer Neuerungen bleibt die TURP ein potenziell komplikationsträchtiges Operationsverfahren. Während des letzten Jahrzehnts wurden zahlreiche neue Laserverfahren für die operative Therapie der BPH vorgestellt. Der wesentliche Vorteil der meisten Laserverfahren sind die durchwegs guten hämostatischen Eigenschaften, die ein fast blutfreies und für den Patienten sicheres Operieren ermöglichen. Jedoch weisen v.a. nicht-ablative Laserverfahren durch die notwendige postoperative Langzeitkatheterisierung eine postoperativ störende Dysurie, das verlängerte Ausscheiden von nekrotischem Material (sloughing) sowie eine erhöhte Reoperationsrate eindeutig Nachteile gegenüber der herkömmlichen TURP auf. Bei der Greenlight-Laservaporisation der Prostata handelt es sich um ein neues viel versprechendes Operationsverfahren für Patienten mit symptomatischer benigner Prostatahyperplasie. Infolge der Kombination von guten ablativen und exzellenten hämostyptischen Eigenschaften stellt dieses Operationsverfahren zudem eine sichere Option für ältere Patienten, bei denen die TURP zu gefährlich wäre, oder für sog. Hochrisikopatienten dar, bei denen die Notwendigkeit einer oralen Antikoagulation besteht.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We report about our experiences with photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) in patients with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and total prostate volume larger than 80 cm(3). PATIENTS AND METHODS The study included 201 patients with BPH: 51 (25.4%) patients had a prostate volume larger than 80 cm(3) and 150 (74.6%) patients had a volume smaller than 80 cm(3) in the preoperative transrectal ultrasound. RESULTS The mean operation time for patients with large prostates was 79 min. Neither TUR syndrome nor severe bleeding was observed. In patients with large adenomas peak urinary flow increased by 135, 136, and 132% after 6, 12, and 24 months, respectively. The overall complication rate was comparable in both groups. CONCLUSION PVP is characterized by excellent perioperative safety and significant improvement of voiding parameters. PVP is feasible in patients with large prostates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate our current practice in retroperitoneoscopic pyeloplasty in patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). Special interest was paid to technical difficulties associated with the retroperitoneoscopic approach. METHODS Our retroperitoneoscopic approach for pyeloplasty is explained step for step including the most technically challenging part: the ureteropelvic anastomosis. RESULTS Within 49 months a total of 47 retroperitoneoscopic pyeloplasties we performed at our institution. Before pyeloplasty an endopyelotomy had failed in five patients (11%). We did not necessarily perform a ventral transposition of the anastomosis in cases with a crossing vessel. Two (4%) conversions to open surgery were required because of scarring after previous endopyelotomy and massive obesity resulting in a limited working space. There were no intraoperative complications. A recurrence of UPJO was observed in 2% (n = 1). CONCLUSION Functional results after retroperitoneoscopic pyeloplasty are excellent and comparable to those of open surgery. However, special knowledge of retroperitoneoscopy is necessary to provide the patient with a safe and effective minimally invasive alternative to open pyeloplasty.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We retrospectively compared perioperative donor outcomes and early postoperative pain control after retroperitoneoscopic (RLDN) and standard open (OLDN) living donor nephrectomy. METHODS One hundred donors included fifty after RLDN (37 women/13 men) and 50 after OLDN (35 women/15 men) were retrospectively analyzed for basic analgesics, for opioid consumption, and for visual analog scale (VAS) to verify the experienced pain. The donors were questioned in the morning and evening of the first through fifth postoperative days. RESULTS The mean age of both groups was equal. The mean operating time was 149.7 +/- 48.2 minutes (60 to 270) for RLDN and 164.1 +/- 30.3 minutes (60 to 240) for OLDN (P = NS). The mean warm ischemia time was 120 +/- 36 seconds (50 to 240) and 114 +/- 31 seconds (60 to 190) for the RLDN and OLDN groups, respectively (P = NS). The mean evening VAS for RLDN versus OLDN on postoperative days 1 to 5 was: 2.1 versus 2.2 (P = NS), 0.9 versus 1.8 (P = .009), 0.5 versus 1.3 (P = .016), 0.1 versus 0.7 (P = .013), and 0.1 versus 0.7 (P = .013), respectively. In both groups there was a tendency toward a higher VAS score in the morning than in the evening. RLDN donors showed significantly earlier period free of pain (VAS = 0) than those after OLDN. There was a significant difference of being free from any opiate between both groups after surgery. CONCLUSIONS After RLDN donors experienced less postoperative pain than after OLDN over the early postoperative days. Therefore, postoperative regional anesthesia is not necessary for donors operated by a retroperitoneoscopic approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite good efficacy, even in our days, TURP remains a potentially difficult procedure to perform and is associated with significant risks for the patient. Several alternatives have been tried to reduce the known perioperative morbidity. We report our first experiences with 80 W potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser vaporization of the prostate in patients with symptomatic BPH. PATIENTS AND METHODS In 70 patients 80 W KTP laser vaporization was performed successfully. Mean age was 70.5 years (46-93 years) and mean transrectal prostate volume was 48.1 ml (10-250 ml). RESULTS Mean operating time was 41 min ( n=22), 64 min ( n=33), and 80 min ( n=15) for a 26 ml, 46 ml, and a 91 ml prostate, respectively. At time of discharge, after 1 month, and 6 months the urinary peak flow increased by 75.4%, 166.8%, and 168.6%, respectively. CONCLUSION The 80 W KTP laser vaporization of the prostate combines the tissue-debulking properties of transurethral resection of the prostate with the known good hemostatic properties of other laser procedures. It is a safe procedure for the patient and provides a virtually bloodless operation and immediate improvement of voiding.

Abstract
Das Prostatitissyndrom stellt einen häufigen «Fall aus der Praxis» dar. Anhand des vorliegenden Falles wird die typische Symptomatik und Befundkonstellation eines Prostatitissyndroms Klasse IIIb (Chronisches Beckenschmerzsyndrom, früher Prostatodynie) vorgestellt. Auch wenn weitere Abklärungen eine spezifische wahrscheinliche Ursache ergaben, werden die aktuelle Klassifikation, Abklärungschritte des Prostatitissyndroms und Therapie des Chronischen Beckenschmerzsyndroms praxisnah erläutert.
