Prostatic Stromal Hyperplasia with Atypia by Ryan C. Hutchinson, Kevin J. Wu, John C. Cheville, David D. Thiel

“…Prostatic stromal hyperplasia with atypia (PSHA) is a rare histologic finding diagnosed incidentally on prostate biopsies, transurethral resection specimens, and radical prostatectomy specimens. PSHA has a bizarre histologic appearance and these lesions often raise concern for sarcoma; however, their clinical course is indolent and does not include extraprostatic progression. …”

Robotic Radical Cystectomy: Where are We Today, Where will We be Tomorrow? by Kyle A. Richards, A. Karim Kader, Ashok K. Hemal

“…The robotic approach has the potential advantages of less intraoperative blood loss, shorter hospital stay, less post-operative narcotic requirement, quicker return of bowel function, and earlier convalescence with an acceptable surgical learning curve for surgeons adept at robotic radical prostatectomy. While short to intermediate term oncologic results from several small RARC series are promising, bladder cancer remains a potentially lethal malignancy necessitating long-term follow-up. …”
