Longitudinal Outcomes of Malignant Ureteral Obstruction Secondary to Ovarian Cancer: Predictors of Resolution and the Role of Surgical Management
To review the management of ovarian cancer (OCa) associated hydronephrosis (HN). Specifically, we aim to identify optimal management of HN in the acute setting, predictors of HN resolution, and the role of surgery (tumor debulking/(+/-)ureterolysis/hysterectomy). (Source: Urology)

A giant hydronephrosis disguised as abdominal obesity
Key Clinical MessageAbdominal obesity is common in clinical practice. However, it is important to rule out other causes of abdominal distension. We are reporting a case of giant hydronephrosis misdiagnosed as abdominal obesity for a long time. (Source: Clinical Case Reports)

Use and Outcomes of Botulinum Toxin A for Both Neurogenic and Non-neurogenic Voiding Dysfunction in the Pediatric Patient
AbstractPurpose of ReviewIn this review, we seek to present the most recent data that is available and not perform an exhaustive review of the whole literature. Many recent publications have provided us with randomized prospective studies which confirmed much of the prior groundbreaking work done by the authors who published some of the original work in the field. In some cases, we may intersperse data from an adult study when there is a lack of data from a pediatric study.Recent FindingsIn a 48-week prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind study in children (aged 5 –17 years) with neurogenic detrusor overact...

Hydronephrosis severity as a predictor of postoperative renal function decline following laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy
ConclusionModerate or severe hydronephrosis is associated with a modest postoperative decline in renal function, while mild hydronephrosis is not. Our predictive model may be useful in predicting postoperative renal function insufficiency and guiding decision-making for perioperative medical treatment.

Maternal and Neonatal Outcomes for Mothers with Symptomatic Hydronephrosis of Pregnancy Managed with Percutaneous Nephrostomy with Comparison High-Risk Pregnancy Group
ConclusionMaternal and fetal outcomes are acceptable with PCN placement and demonstrate non-inferiority to comparative HR pregnancy groups. PCN is a reasonable option for patients requiring intervention for SHOP. Further studies should consider randomization between treatment modalities to better identify the optimal treatment for women with SHOP. (Source: The Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology of India)

Comparison of laparoscopic and open pyeloplasty impact on comfort and success: a retrospective, single center study
This study demonstrated that laparoscopic pyeloplasty could be safely used in the treatment of ureteropelvic junction obstruction with a lower need for analgesics and a shorter length of hospital stay than with open pyeloplasty.PMID:38304363 | PMC:PMC10829949 | DOI:10.20471/acc.2023.62.01.09 (Source: Acta Clinica Croatica)

Long-Term Survival of an Adolescent and Young Adult Patient with Unresectable Advanced Gastric Cancer in Whom Multidisciplinary Treatment Was Effective
We report the case of a long-term-surviving adolescent and young adult patient with unresectable advanced gastric cancer for whom multidisciplinary treatment was effective. A 29-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for further examination following a diagnosis of gastric cancer by a local physician. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed a deep ulcerated lesion in the lower third of the stomach, and analysis of biopsy specimens revealed an adenocarcinoma. Abdominal contrast- enhanced computed tomography showed gastric wall thickening in the lower third of the stomach. The patient underwent distal gastrectomy with lymph n...
