Usefulness of hand-assisted retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for extreme obese patients -a case report
We report a case of retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN) in which the addition of a hand port was necessary and effective. A 52-year-old man with obesity (BMI 40.6 kg/m2) was diagnosed with a 52-mm left renal cell carcinoma (cT1bN0M0). To avoid thick subcutaneous and visceral fat in the abdomen, we selected LRN using a retroperitoneal approach with four ports in the kidney position. During surgery, a large amount of flank pad and perirenal fat prevented us from securing a sufficient surgical field through traction of the kidney with a retractor. A pure laparoscopic procedure was not feasible;therefore, we...

Parenchymal obliteration by renal masses: Functional and oncologic implications
CONCLUSIONS: Obliteration of normal parenchyma by RCC substantially impacts preoperative renal function and patient selection. Our data suggests that increased PVR is primarily driven by aggressive tumor characteristics and independently associates with reduced RFS, although further studies will be needed to substantiate our findings.PMID:38729867 | DOI:10.1016/j.urolonc.2024.04.019 (Source: Urologic Oncology)

Giant Renal Angiomyolipomas and Pulmonary Lymphangioleiomyomatosis: Follow-up Report after More than a Decade

Epub 2024 May 9.ABSTRACTRenal angiomyolipomas (AMLs) and pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) are two major presentations of tuberous sclerosis (TS), an autosomal dominant multisystem disorder. Renal AMLs can lead to life-threatening complications like hemorrhage and cause progressive renal failure requiring dialysis and kidney transplant. mTOR inhibitors showed promising results in TS patients with renal AMLs, LAM, and subependymal giant cell astrocytomas. This case report is a follow-up of a patient we reported in 2010 with giant A...

Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence technology in pediatric robotic surgery
This study aimed to report our experience in indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) in pediatric robotics. The data of 55 patients (35 boys and 20 girls), who underwent robotic surgery using ICG fluorescence in three institutions over the last 7 years, were retrospectively reviewed. The following robotic procedures were included: pyeloplasty (n = 21), complex Lich–Gregoir ureteral reimplantation (n = 8), varicocelectomy (n = 7), adnexal pathology resection (n = 8), partial nephrectomy (n = 4), nephrectomy (n = 4), renal cyst removal (n = 2), and excision of prostatic utric...
