Application of brachytherapy in patient with local recurrence of prostate adenocarcinoma after radical radiation therapy: a case report
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men, and the fifth most common cause of cancer death in the world. Therapeutic options are divided on the basis of staging and accurate diagnosis. Due to the lack of randomized prospective controlled studies on the treatment of prostate cancer, no therapeutic option can be preferred, although there are some recommendations. Therapy options for intraprostatic tumor include: monitoring the course of the disease, radical prostatectomy, or radiation therapy. Radical radiotherapy is an alternative to surgical treatment in the localized form of primary prostate cancer. Radiotherapy treatment has shown good results. In case of local recurrence of the disease, the recommendations are even more scarce. We present a case of a 65-year-old patient who was treated for prostate adenocarcinoma with radical radiation therapy combined with androgen deprivation therapy for one year and then about 6 years after initial therapy he was successfully treated with adjuvant salvage brachytherapy because of local carcinoma recurrence. In addition to certain recommendations for the implementation of this therapy which we proposed in the following text, we certainly recommend a personalized medical approach in such cases.

Case Reports
Intra-abdominal abscess as a rare complication after Cesarean section: a case report
We present the case of a young mother, 21 years old, who developed an intra-abdominal abscess 2 weeks after the caesarean section. Postpartum abscess after caesarean section is rare (≤1%), but potentially a very serious complication. It usually occurs as a consequence of inadequate or delayed treatment of postesectional endometritis. Risk factors are younger age, lower socioeconomic status, multiple vaginal examinations and length of caesarean section. The causes are anaerobic and Gram-negative bacteria. Clinical symptoms are variable, nonspecific and present as fever, abdominal and pelvic pain, signs of peritonitis, tachycardia, tachypnea, and generalized weakness. Complications include septicemia, fistula formation, multiorgan dysfunction, and even death. Ultrasound examination is the initial diagnostic method that can confirm the existence of a purulent collection. In case of diagnostic dilemmas, an urgent CT examination is indicated.

Uticaj COVID-19 pandemije na rad urološke službe Kliničko-bolničkog centra Zemun
U poslednje dve godine pandemija izazvana COVID-19 infekcijom predstavlja najveći izazov sa kojim se suočavaju zdravstveni sistemi širom sveta. Ova bolest donela je ozbiljne promene u načinu rada zdravstvenih ustanova, a promenjeni su i prioriteti različitih medicinskih i hirurških intervencija, između ostalih i u domenu urologije.
U ovom radu prikazujemo uticaj COVID-19 pandemije na rad Službe za urologiju Kliničko bolničkog centra Zemun. Pored analize rada urologa u COVID-19 sistemu dat je i kratak pregled uticaja COVID-19 pandemije na različite, najčešće urološke bolesti, pre svega u odnosu na stepen hitnosti lečenja uroloških bolesti. Potom je dat osvrt uticaja COVID-19 infekcije na bubrežni sistem. Deo rada posvećen je uticaju pandemije na rad mladih lekara, odnosno pre svega specijalista urologije.
