Meta-analysis of perioperative outcomes and safety of percutaneous nephrostomy < em > versus < /em > retrograde ureteral stenting in the treatment of acute obstructive upper urinary tract infection
CONCLUSION: Given the significant impact of hematuria and catheterization failure on postoperative quality of life, the preference for PCN appears more advantageous than RUS.PMID:38618182 | PMC:PMC11010740 | DOI:10.1177/17562872241241854 (Source: Adv Data)

The Inhibition of Fibrosis and Inflammation in Obstructive Kidney Injury via the miR-122-5p/SOX2 Axis Using USC-Exos
Conclusions: We confirmed that miR-122-5p from USC-Exos targeting SOX2 is a new molecular target for postoperative recovery treatment of obstructive kidney injury.PMID:38617751 | PMC:PMC11014086 | DOI:10.34133/bmr.0013 (Source: Cell Research)

Urological complications caused by inferior vena cava filters: a systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: Urological complications caused by IVC filters although rare, are likely underreported, require extensive workup, and pose surgical challenges. Due to their complex management, filter retrieval should be planned for as soon as feasible, and plans should be made as early as during the IVC filter implant. For those that do develop complications, clinical judgement must be exercised in management, and open surgical, endovascular or even conservative management strategies can be viable options and should be discussed in a multidisciplinary setting.PMID:38619204 | DOI:10.23736/S0392-9590.24.05041-7 (Source: International Angiology)
