Abstract
PURPOSE The circular fasciocutaneous skin flap technique (FCF) yields excellent short-term results for complex anterior urethral reconstruction. We performed an observational retrospective and descriptive study to report our long-term experience. METHODS A total of 36 adults with anterior urethral strictures (AUS) exceeding 3 cm underwent single-stage urethroplasty using the FCF. Exclusion criteria were: lichen sclerosus, absence of the urethral plate and hypospadias. All had a minimum follow-up of 7 years. Mean age was 49.7 years. Radiological work-up was supplemented by urethral ultrasound showing a mean stricture length of 5.9 cm. A circumferential island of distal penile skin was mobilized on a vascularized pedicle and used for urethral reconstruction. Tube repairs were not included. Outcome was considered a failure when post-operative instrumentation was needed. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS Mean follow-up was 96.7 months (86-117). All received a ventral onlay repair secondary to stricturotomy. Complication rate was 8.3% (3/36): A flimsy stricture at the proximal anastomotic site occurred in 1 requiring optical urethrotomy. In 2 patients, glans dehiscence was noted. No penile skin necrosis was observed proximal to the flap-harvesting site. We did not observe neurovascular lower extremity complications. Long-term success rates exceeded 90%. CONCLUSIONS FCF-urethroplasty yields excellent long-term results with no late stricture recurrence. All complications occurred early after surgery underlining the durability of pedicled genital skin flaps. Despite extensive stricture, disease complication rates and morbidity were low. In case of paucity of local skin or lichen scleroses, oral grafts are required for optimal treatment.

Abstract
IGF-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) is a modulator of the IGF-signaling pathway and was described as an anti-cancer agent in prostate cancer. The molecular mechanisms underlying these effects remained, however, largely undefined. We analyzed the influence of recombinant IGFBP-3 on cell proliferation of PC3, Du145, and LNCaP prostate cancer cells. As expected, IGFBP-3 inhibited IGF-stimulated cell proliferation by blocking IGF-mediated proliferation signals, but we observed an IGF-independent inhibitory effect of IGFBP-3 on prostate cancer cell proliferation in long-term cultures. We further investigated the influence of IGFBP-3 on adhesion, motility, and invasion of prostate cancer cells using adhesion assays, live-cell imaging techniques, and matrigel invasion measurements. There was a clear inhibitory effect of IGFBP-3 on tumor cell adhesion to extracellular matrix components in the presence and absence of IGF, whereas cell-cell adhesion was not affected. The same inhibitory effect of IGFBP-3 was determined on cell motility when real-time cell movements were followed. In addition, IGFBP-3 was able to inhibit tumor cell invasion through matrigel. In summary, we show that IGFBP-3 inhibits proliferation, adhesion, migration, and invasion processes of prostate tumor cells. These newly described mechanisms of IGFBP-3 can be of importance for tumor progression and support a role of IGFBP-3 in therapeutic settings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical and pathological characteristics of screen vs non-screen-detected prostate cancers, to determine if there is a difference in the same prostate-specific antigen (PSA) range. PATIENTS AND METHODS In all, 997 patients who had had a radical prostatectomy were evaluated; 806 were Tyrolean screening volunteers, and 191 were from outside Tyrol, representing the 'referred prostate cancer' group. PSA level, age, prostate volume and pathological characteristics were assessed, as was the amount of over- and under-diagnosis. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in patient age or PSA levels in the two groups. Even in the same PSA range there were statistically significantly more extraprostatic cancers in the referral group, at 31.7% and 17.4%, respectively. In the referred and screening groups there was over-diagnosis in 7.9% and 16.8%, and under-diagnosis in 40.8% and 27.8%, respectively. CONCLUSION This study suggests that screening volunteers have a statistically significantly higher rate of organ-confined prostate cancers, and a statistically significantly lower rate of extracapsular extension and positive surgical margins than their counterparts in the referral group even in the same PSA range. As the pathological stage and surgical margin status are significant predictors of recurrence, these findings support the concept of PSA screening.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the usefulness of real-time virtual ultrasonography (RVS) as a new navigational tool for percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of solid renal cell carcinoma (RCC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Ten patients with 13 RCCs were treated with percutaneous RFA using RVS, which displays ultrasonograms and corresponding multiplanar reconstruction images of computed tomography in parallel. RESULTS RVS allowed excellent anatomical visualization and precise navigation of RFA for RCC. All patients were treated successfully in one session with percutaneous RVS RFA. There were no significant complications, and none of the patients had a local tumour recurrence during the follow-up. CONCLUSION RVS for RFA of solid RCC is a new and promising alternative imaging method.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate possible over- and under-diagnosis of prostate cancer in a screened vs a referral population in the same range of prostate-specific antigen (PSA). PATIENTS AND METHODS In all, 1445 patients undergoing radical prostatectomy and with a PSA level of <10 ng/mL were evaluated; 237 were from outside Tyrol (Austria) and represented the unscreened group, and 1208 were Tyrolean screening volunteers. Over-diagnosis was defined as a pathological stage of pT2a and a Gleason score of <7 with no positive surgical margins. Under-diagnosis was defined as a pathological stage of >or=pT3a or positive surgical margins. The chi-square test was used to assess the differences, with P < 0.05 considered to indicate statistical significance. RESULTS There were no significant differences in patient age or PSA levels between the study groups. There was over-diagnosis in the screening and referral groups in 17.4% and 8.9%, respectively, and under-diagnosis in 18.6% and 42.2%, respectively. CONCLUSION This study suggests that patients with prostate cancer participating in a screening programme are less likely to be under-diagnosed or have extracapsular disease than their counterparts in a referral population, even in the same PSA range, after radical prostatectomy. Furthermore, there was more under-diagnosis in the referral group than over-diagnosis in the screened group.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To critically review published data on the urogynaecological aspects of female sexual dysfunction (FSD), as FSD is a developing multidisciplinary issue associated with several biological, medical and psychological factors. METHODS The reported prevalence of FSD is 19-50% and women with lower urinary tract symptoms or urinary incontinence (UI) not only complain of a deteriorating of quality of life but also of sexual life with an incidence as high as 26-47%. Furthermore, urogynaecological surgery represents an important but underestimated cause of FSD. Different databases (Pub Medical, Medline, serial titles, the Cochrane library and the NLM gateway database) were searched for the keywords 'sexuality; sexual function; urinary incontinence; pelvic organ prolapse; questionnaire; symptom severity; epidemiology; quality of life; instruments; sexual health; vagina; vaginal surgery; pelvic surgery'. RESULTS There is a lack of a standardized instrument for assessing FSD. Recent studies investigate the impact of UI on sexual function, but the pathophysiology has not been elucidated. Vaginal or pelvic surgery does not affect overall sexual satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS Our investigation highlights the need for studies to assess the anatomical, physiological and sensory mechanisms related to FSD. Specific questionnaire are needed to quantify the problem. In the definition, symptoms assessment and preoperative counselling is important, to make a distinction between overall sexual function and individual parameters, such as psychosocial context. Only in this way, will it be possible to identify new therapeutic targets. A definition of success in urogyneacological terms should include aspects of quality of life and quality of sexual life. Immediate research in this field is needed.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Conventional ultrasonography of both, kidney and prostate, is limited due to the poor contrast of B-mode imaging for parenchymal disease and limited sensitivity of colour Doppler for the detection of capillaries and deep pedicular vessels. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) overcomes these limitations. RECENT FINDINGS CEUS investigates the blood flow of the prostate, allows for prostate cancer visualization and for targeted biopsies. Comparisons between systematic and CEUS-targeted biopsies have shown that the targeted approach detects more cancers with a lower number of biopsy cores and with higher Gleason scores compared with the systematic approach. Also the kidney offers promising applications as CEUS improves the detection of abnormal microvascular and macrovascular disorders. SUMMARY In recent literature CEUS has shown its value for diagnosis of both, prostate cancer and kidney lesions. This paper describes recent improvements and future perspectives of CEUS.
