Cesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta spectrum: Surgeon specialty-specific assessment
CONCLUSION: These data suggest that patient characteristics and surgical procedures related to cesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta spectrum differ based on surgeon specialty. Gynecologic oncologists appear to manage more severe forms of placenta accreta spectrum. Regardless of surgeon's specialty, surgical morbidity of cesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta spectrum is significant.PMID:38603956 | DOI:10.1016/j.ygyno.2024.04.004 (Source: Gynecologic Oncology)

Epithelial development of the urinary collecting system in the human embryo
by Marie Ange Saizonou, Haruka Kitazawa, Toru Kanahashi, Shigehito Yamada, Tetsuya Takakuwa The urinary collecting system (UCS) consists of organized ducts that collect urine from the nephrons and transport it to the ureter and bladder. Understanding the histogenesis of the UCS is critical. Thirty human embryos between the Carnegie stages (CS) 18 and 23 were selected from the Congenital Anomaly Research Center, Kyoto, Japan. Epithelia of the UCS, ureter, and bladder of each sample were randomly selected. Histological findings of the epithelia were analyzed according to the following criteria: type of epithelium, presence ...

Comparison of immediate versus post-stenting ureteroscopy for ureteral stones treatment
J Med Life. 2023 Dec;16(12):1745-1749. doi: 10.25122/jml-2023-0199.ABSTRACTUreteroscopy is a highly effective treatment for ureteral stones, characterized by a high stone-free rate and a low need for re-treatment. Ureteral stent placement can improve the insertion of the ureteral access sheath and ureteroscope but may be associated with higher morbidity prior to and after ureteroscopy. The study aimed to compare immediate versus post-stenting ureteroscopy for ureteral stone treatment in terms of operative time, intra- and post-operative complications, length of hospital stay, and stone-free rate. This prospective study inv...

Treatment modalities for small-sized urolithiases and their impact on health-related quality of life
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with urinary stones 10 mm or smaller have better HRQoL when treated with MET vs. active surveillance, when treated with SWL vs. URS for renal stones, and when treated with URS vs. SWL for ureteral stones. There is an important need for more studies on this topic.PMID:38587975 | DOI:10.5489/cuaj.8698 (Source: Canadian Urological Association Journal)
