An 88-Year-Old Woman With Pneumothorax and Black Pleural Effusion
Chest. 2024 Apr;165(4):e119-e123. doi: 10.1016/j.chest.2023.12.002.ABSTRACTAn 88-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with the sudden onset of dyspnea after eating. The patient had undergone nephrectomy for a left renal tumor 24 years previously. The patient had been prescribed ferrous citrate for iron-deficiency anemia. She complained of appetite loss a few days before admission but had no abdominal pain. CT scan showed no abnormalities in the lungs but a mass in the liver.PMID:38599756 | DOI:10.1016/j.chest.2023.12.002 (Source: Chest)

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1454: Radiomics Machine Learning Analysis of Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma for Tumour Grade Prediction Based on Intra-Tumoural Sub-Region Heterogeneity
Conclusions: Radiomics signatures combined with ML have the potential to predict the WHO/ISUP grade of ccRCC with superior performance, when compared to pre-operative biopsy. Moreover, tumour sub-regions contain useful information that should be analysed independently when determining the tumour grade. Therefore, it is possible to distinguish the grade of ccRCC pre-operatively to improve patient care and management. (Source: Cancers)

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1455: Predictive Value of the Mayo Adhesive Probability (MAP) Score in Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomies: A Systematic Review from the EAU Section of Uro-Technology (ESUT)
Ali Serdar Gözen The Mayo Adhesive Probability (MAP) score is a radiographic scoring system that predicts the presence of adherent perinephric fat (APF) during partial nephrectomies (PNs). The purpose of this systematic review is to summarize the current literature on the application of the MAP score for predicting intraoperative difficulties related to APF and complications in laparoscopic PNs. Three databases, PubMed, Scopus and Cochrane, were screened, from inception to 29 October 2023, taking into consideration the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Guidelines. All the inc...

Body mass index influence on short-term perioperative results in robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy: a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis
The objective of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the perioperative outcomes of robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) in obese and non-obese patients. Through March 2024, we executed an exhaustive search in internationally acclaimed databases such as PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science, limiting our scope to publications in English. We discarded review articles, protocols lacking empirical data, conference abstracts, and materials not pertinent to our research. Our analytical framework utilized the Cochran –Mantel–Haenszel method alongside a random-effects model for evaluating dichotomous variables’ ...

Analysis of hemorrhage upon ultrasound-guided percutaneous renal biopsy in China: a retrospective study
ConclusionOur analysis finds that the incidence of post-biopsy bleeding complication is 37.70%, and its risk is associated with female, lower BMI, lower platelet before renal biopsy, prolonged APTT, higher albumin, and postoperative urination within 4  h. The findings highlighted the importance of perioperative management for renal biopsy, including adequate risk assessment, tailored careful observation after PRB. And medical staff should pay more attention to fluid management after ultrasound-guided PRB. (Source: International Urology and Nephrology)

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1449: The Prognostic Impact of the Surgical Margin in Renal Cell Carcinoma Treated with Partial Nephrectomy: A Multi-Center Study
Conclusions: Our study presents further evidence on the negative impact of PSM on recurrence after PN for RCC, highlighting the importance of achieving NSM, thus potentially improving clinical outcomes. A surgical approach was found to be the only predictive factor influencing the risk of PSMs, with a reduced risk observed with robot-assisted laparoscopy. (Source: Cancers)

Robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy vs. laparoscopic and open partial nephrectomy: A single-site, two-surgeon, retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Although patients who underwent RALPN had longer WIT, they had similar rates of complications, required less total OR time, and had shorter procedure time and LOS compared with OPN and LPN despite similar RENAL score compared to OPN and greater score than LPN.PMID:38587976 | DOI:10.5489/cuaj.8585 (Source: Canadian Urological Association Journal)
