Giant Renal Angiomyolipomas and Pulmonary Lymphangioleiomyomatosis: Follow-up Report after More than a Decade
Saudi J Kidney Dis Transpl. 2023 Nov 1;34(6):671-675. doi: 10.4103/sjkdt.sjkdt_324_21. 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...

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)
