Approach to endoscopic extraperitoneal radical prostatectomy (EERPE): the impact of previous laparoscopic experience on the learning curve
Previous laparoscopic experience is reflected by shorter operation times, not by lower complication rates or superior early oncological data, and EERPE can be learned within a short teaching phase.
Clinical results of the transurethreal resection and evaluation of superficial bladder carcinomas by means of fluorescence diagnosis after intravesical instillation of 5-aminolevulinic acid.
By means of better detection of urothelial neoplasias and dysplasias, as well as more thorough and extensive resection under fluorescence control, it should be possible to reduce the recurrence rate of superficial bladder carcinomas.
5-aminolevulinic acid-induced fluorescence endoscopy applied at secondary transurethral resection after conventional resection of primary superficial bladder tumors.
Despite high sensitivity, fluorescence diagnosis at this early stage of control does not allow us to evaluate sufficiently the granulation tissue of necrotic areas after TUR without biopsy.

Medicine
Novice laparoscopic surgeons can safely learn EERPE by a structured, mentor based, modular surgical training programme without putting patients at risk, and the complication rates in early patient series are low and comparable to those of the teaching centre.
