Laparoscopic Nephrectomy Via the Retroperitoneal Approach for Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease After Renal Transplant: A Case Report
We report a case of laparoscopic nephrectomy via the retroperitoneal approach for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease after renal transplant. A 54-year-old male patient with end-stage renal failure because of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease underwent a living donor renal transplant and right nephrectomy via open surgery through a median abdominal incision 5 years previously. However, the left kidney gradually became enlarged. We performed laparoscopic left nephrectomy via the retroperitoneal approach. After dissecting the renal vessels, we performed cyst puncture and aspiration to decrease the kidney ...

This issue on patent foramen ovale (PFO) is dedicated to my oncologist, Alexandra Drakaki, MD, and the researchers who developed immunotherapy. Without their support, I would not have been alive to help write and edit this compendium on PFO. I had a nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma in April 2023 and began immunotherapy for metastatic disease in November 2023. I appreciate the opportunity I have been given to describe the research in this field over the past 25 years. (Source: Cardiology Clinics)

Tumour-to-tumour metastasis of breast cancer (donor) and clear cell renal cell carcinoma (recipient): a case report
A woman in her late 70s was referred to urology clinic to consider intervention for a biopsy-proven 24 mm WHO/International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grade 1 clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC) that was diagnosed 4 years prior and managed with active surveillance up to that point. The patient had a history of right invasive breast cancer (ductal carcinoma) first diagnosed more than 20 years ago and treated with wide local excision and adjuvant radiotherapy. She developed breast cancer recurrence in the scalp and chest wall 3 years before and was treated with letrozole, with satisfactory disease control. Fo...

Asymptomatic bacteriuria prior to partial and radical nephrectomy: To screen or not to screen? Results from the national and multicenter TOCUS database
ConclusionOur research shows that screening and treating for ABU prior to radical or partial nephrectomy seems to be unnecessary to prevent postoperative UTI and SSI. (Source: World Journal of Urology)

Transcatheter renal arterial embolization for intractable urinary fistula occurring after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy: a case report
AbstractPartial nephrectomy is the standard surgical procedure for small renal tumors. Since the advent of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN), the number of cases of renal tumors undergoing the procedure has increased exponentially. Urinary fistula is a complication of partial nephrectomy. Conservative management using ureteral stents is useful in most cases of urinary fistulas. However, some patients develop intractable urinary fistulas. Herein, we report a case in which vascular embolization was useful for treating an infected and intractable urinary fistula that developed after RAPN. A 59-year-old man was acciden...

Efficacy Assessment of Post-nephrectomy Adjuvant Therapies in Patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that post-nephrectomy RCC patients with sarcomatoid differentiation and high PD-L1 expression were more responsive to ICIs. Furthermore, pembrolizumab monotherapy exhibited superior DFS and OS results over other adjuvant therapies.PMID:38494564 | DOI:10.1245/s10434-024-15121-2 (Source: Ann Oncol)

Risk factors for lower renal compensation after nephrectomy: an analysis of living kidney donors in an Amazonian cohort
CONCLUSION: Obesity, albuminuria and proteinuria adversely affected short-term renal compensation rate. Further studies are needed to uncover the prognostic implications tied to these risk factors. Our findings also supported the need for careful individualized assessment of potential donors and closer monitoring of individuals at higher risk.PMID:38498672 | DOI:10.1590/2175-8239-JBN-2023-0134en (Source: Jornal Brasileiro de Nefrologia)

Functional and metabolomic analysis of urinary extracellular vesicles from juvenile mice with renal compensatory hypertrophy
This study suggests that uEVs contain bioactive components capable of inducing protective, anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrinolytic, and antioxidative effects in renal cells. These findings contribute to our understanding of uEVs' role in renal compensatory mechanisms after unilateral nephrectomy and may hold promise for future therapeutic interventions in renal diseases.PMID:38499276 | DOI:10.1016/j.bbadis.2024.167096 (Source: Biochimica et Biophysica Acta)

Case report: Anesthetic management for removal of tumor thrombus in the inferior vena cava and pulmonary artery in renal cell carcinoma
Anesthetic management of patients with renal cell carcinoma with tumor thrombus in the inferior vena cava (IVC) is challenging. This paper reports the experience of anesthesia management in a patient with advanced renal cell carcinoma with thrombus accumulation in the IVC, right atrium, and pulmonary artery who underwent radical nephrectomy and tumor thrombus removal assisted by cardiopulmonary bypass. The emboli, measuring approximately 3 × 6 cm in the left inferior pulmonary artery and 4 × 13 cm in the right main pulmonary artery, were removed completely. During incision of the IVC under systemic heparinization, signif...
