Intraoperative imaging techniques for robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy: where do we stand?
Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy is currently the gold standard treatment for localized selected cT1 and cT2 renal tumors. This narrative review aims to analyze the technologies employed in this procedure to increase the precision and accuracy of the surgeon, in order to obtain adequate oncological radicality, negative surgical margins, and good preservation of renal function. In this scenario, new technologies are developing, from three-dimensional reconstructions to artificial intelligence up to the new concept of metaverse.
PET/CT and MRI in Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer remains one of the most common cancers and is among the most lethal in men worldwide. It is significant that prostate cancer is identified in the early stages as the disease can be highly metastatic leading to a low survival rate. Therefore, it is essential for patients to have a better prognosis and able to be treated early. The diagnostic tools to identify prostate cancer have developed throughout the years which includes but is not limited to transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy and histopathology prior to radical prostatectomy. However, biopsies have been found to be invasive in addition to studies demonstrating an underdiagnosis of patients who have advanced prostate cancer.

Robotic Surgery for Renal Cancer
This latest book in the Management of Urology Series provides insight into how to appropriately manage patients undergoing pelvic robotic urological surgery for renal cancer. Extensive guidance is provided on how to perform a range of procedures including the retroperitoneal renal approach along with information on how to utilize the latest robots effectively. Cases are also presented on how to best manage complications associated with partial nephrectomy. Each chapter also contains learning objectives to assist the reader in extrapolating the key information covered. Robotic Surgery for Renal Cancer is an up-to-date overview of the latest techniques utilized in this field along with potential management strategies for these patients, making it a critical resource for urologists, oncologists, and specialist nurses.
Hidden Histories
Tuscany is a landscape whose cultural construction is complicated and multi-layered. It is this very complexity that this book seeks to untangle. By revealing hidden histories, we learn how food, landscape and architecture are intertwined, as well as the extent to which Italian design and contemporary consumption patterns form a legacy that draws upon the Romantic longings of a century before. In the process, this book reveals the extent to which Tuscany has been constructed by Anglos — and what has been distorted, idealized and even overlooked in the process.
Repertorio storico degli Archibugiari italiani dal XIV al XX secolo
Tra i cultori della storia delle armi da fuoco da tempo è avvertita la mancanza di un’opera che unifichi le conoscenze aggiornate sugli archibugiari italiani. Le opere più recenti sono infatti di Malatesta (1939), Gaibi (1978) e Herr (1978), mentre non sono sempre facilmente reperibili i numerosi studi pubblicati su argomenti specifici negli ultimi 34 anni. Il Repertorio storico degli Archibugiari italiani dal XIV al XX secolo colma l’esigenza riunendo, in ordine alfabetico, le biografie degli archibugiari pubblicate dai numerosi autori che hanno contribuito alla loro conoscenza approfondendo settori specifici. A beneficio del lettore neofita il Repertorio unifica anche le conoscenze sui distretti italiani produttori di armi da fuoco e quanto è noto sugli armaioli della Sardegna, sulla cronologia dei maestri da canne di Pistoia e sulla storia di numerose dinastie e famiglie. Per consentire una facile reperibilità dei nomi degli archibugiari che hanno operato in una sede d’interesse, il Repertorio riporta in ordine alfabetico anche le località che sono state sede di archibugiari con i relativi nomi.
Retroperitoneoscopic single-site 3D adrenalectomy for left adrenal renal cell carcinoma metastasis 20 years after left laparotomic radical nephrectomy
The aim of the paper is to demonstrate the practicability of retroperitoneoscopic single-site 3D left adrenalectomy after previous homolateral laparotomic renal surgery. We present a case report of a 70-year-old male who underwent radical nephrectomy in 1999. Twenty years after radical nephrectomy, the patient underwent a computed tomography scan for B-cell lymphoma follow-up, which revealed a 30 mm left adrenal mass suspicious for a delayed renal-cell carcinoma metastasis. After multidisciplinary discussion, surgery was chosen as first option. To minimize surgical morbidity as much as possible, a 3D laparoscopic single-site retroperitoneal approach was chosen. The patient had no peri- or intra-operative complications and was discharged on Postoperative Day 3. The final histological report revealed an adrenal clear cell renal-cell carcinoma metastasis. This experience shows that single-site retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy is possible in patients who underwent previous abdominal cancer surgery and is an option to consider when determining optimal approaches for adrenal surgery.
