Differential effects of obesity on perioperative outcomes in renal cell carcinoma patients based on race and ethnicity and neighborhood-level socioeconomic status
CONCLUSIONS: In this study, obesity increased likelihood of worse perioperative outcomes, and the associations varied based on race and ethnicity and neighborhood-level socioeconomic factors.PMID:38721286 | PMC:PMC11074675 | DOI:10.21037/tau-23-421 (Source: Cancer Control)

Robotic versus laparoscopic versus open nephrectomy for live kidney donors
CONCLUSIONS: LDN is associated with less pain compared to ODN and has comparable pain to HALDN and RDN. HALDN is comparable to LDN in all outcomes except warm ischaemia time, which may be associated with a reduction. One study reported kidneys obtained during RDN had greater warm ischaemia times. Complications and occurrences of perioperative events needing further intervention were equivalent between all methods.PMID:38721875 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD006124.pub3 (Source: Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews)

Transplant Nephrectomy: A Comparative Study of Timing and Techniques in a Single Institution
CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that TN can be performed with relatively low morbidity. However, early TN remains the only independent risk factor for developing adverse outcomes.PMID:38711249 | DOI:10.12659/AOT.942252 (Source: Annals of Transplantation)

Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy in patients aged 75 years or older - comparing the risk of complications with their younger counterparts
CONCLUSIONS: Selected patients ≥ 75 years can undergo RAPN without a significantly increased risk of postoperative complications. However, a mortality rate of 3% in this age group indicates that these patients are frail when postoperative complications occur.PMID:38714631 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-024-02751-5 (Source: Aging Clinical and Experimental Research)

Semi-simultaneous hand-assisted laparoscopic (HAL) bilateral nephrectomy and kidney transplantation from the same incision in ADPKD, first case report in Saudi Arabia
J Surg Case Rep. 2024 May 2;2024(5):rjae274. doi: 10.1093/jscr/rjae274. eCollection 2024 May.ABSTRACTThis case report discusses the management of a 46-year-old male patient with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and a high body mass index, who underwent a semi-simultaneous procedure involving hand-assisted laparoscopic bilateral nephrectomy to alleviate severe abdominal symptoms and prepare for a kidney transplantation, all using the same incision. This is the first reported occurrence of such a procedure in Saudi Arabia. Post-operatively, the patient made a successful recovery with excellent kidney function and...

Real-World Impact of Upfront Cytoreductive Nephrectomy in Metastatic Non-Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma Treated with First-Line Immunotherapy Combinations or Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (A Sub-Analysis from the ARON-1 Retrospective Study)
ConclusionsOur study demonstrates the survival benefits of upfront CN compared with systemic therapy without CN. The study suggests that the use of IO+TKI combination or, eventually, TKI monotherapy might be a better choice than IO+IO combination for patients who are not candidates for CN regardless of IO eligibility. Prospective trials are needed to validate these findings and refine the role of CN in current mRCC management. (Source: Targeted Oncology)

Development and validation of a multicenter Cox regression model to predict all-cause mortality in patients with renal masses suspicious for renal cancer
CONCLUSIONS: For patients with localized renal masses, accurate determination of life expectancy is essential for decision-making regarding intervention vs. active surveillance as a primary treatment modality. We have made available a simple tool for this purpose.PMID:38704319 | DOI:10.1016/j.urolonc.2024.04.007 (Source: Ann Oncol)
