Journal ArticleDOI
Retropubic, Laparoscopic, and Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy: A Systematic Review and Cumulative Analysis of Comparative Studies
Vincenzo Ficarra,Giacomo Novara,Walter Artibani,Andrea Cestari,Antonio Galfano,Markus Graefen,Giorgio Guazzoni,Bertrand Guillonneau,Mani Menon,Francesco Montorsi,Vipul R. Patel,Jens Rassweiler,Hendrik Van Poppel +12 more
TL;DR: LRP and RALP were more time consuming than RRP, especially in the initial steps of the learning curve, but blood loss, transfusion rates, catheterisation time, hospitalisation duration, and complication rates all favoured LRP, and LRP showed similar continence and potency rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complication Rates of Tension-Free Midurethral Slings in the Treatment of Female Stress Urinary Incontinence: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials Comparing Tension-Free Midurethral Tapes to Other Surgical Procedures and Different Devices
Giacomo Novara,Antonio Galfano,Rafael Boscolo-Berto,Silvia Secco,Stefano Cavalleri,Vincenzo Ficarra,Walter Artibani +6 more
TL;DR: Tension-free slings were followed by lower risk of reoperation compared with Burch colposuspension, whereas pubovaginal sling and tension-free midurethral slings had similar complication rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials with Antimuscarinic Drugs for Overactive Bladder
Giacomo Novara,Antonio Galfano,Silvia Secco,Carolina D'Elia,Stefano Cavalleri,Vincenzo Ficarra,Walter Artibani +6 more
TL;DR: Efficacy and safety of different doses, formulations, and route of administration of the available anticholinergic drugs in patients with overactive bladder and more clinical studies are needed to indicate which of the drugs should be used as first-, second-, or third-line treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beyond the Learning Curve of the Retzius-sparing Approach for Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy: Oncologic and Functional Results of the First 200 Patients with ≥1 Year of Follow-up
Antonio Galfano,Dario Di Trapani,Francesco Sozzi,Elena Strada,Giovanni Petralia,Manuela Bramerio,Assunta Ascione,Marcello Gambacorta,Aldo Massimo Bocciardi +8 more
TL;DR: Retzius-sparing RARP was demonstrated to be oncologically safe and to result in high early continence and potency rates and long-term, prospective, comparative, and possibly randomized studies are needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A New Anatomic Approach for Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy: A Feasibility Study for Completely Intrafascial Surgery
Antonio Galfano,Assunta Ascione,Salvatore Grimaldi,Giovanni Petralia,Elena Strada,Aldo Massimo Bocciardi +5 more
TL;DR: The anatomic rationale for better results compared with traditional RALP is strong, but well-designed studies are needed to evaluate the advantages of the technique.
