INTRODUCTION Rdonor nephrectomy (LDN)(1,2) and now it is performed in the most major transplant centers for donor nephrectomy. Further attempts are made to make this minimally invasive technique more acceptable for donors by introducing transumbilical and pfannenstiel laparoendoscopic single site surgery (LESS) nephrectomy.(3,4) not only more cosmetic comparing to standard laparoscopy (SL), but...

Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) is a rare chronic renal infection characterized by the destruction of renal parenchyma. Traditional treatment involves open radical nephrectomy, which is challenging due to the inflammatory process associated with XGP. More recently, laparoscopic nephrectomy has been employed successfully in adult XGP. We present a case of a six-year-old female child wit...

1. Iliac bone biopsies were obtained from nine patients 3 months to 6 years after bilateral nephrectomy. 2. In eight of the nine patients no histological evidence of vitamin D abnormality was seen in the bones after bilateral nephrectomy. 3. One patient showed histological evidence of osteomalacia before bilateral nephrectomy which improved but did not disappear after bilateral nephrectomy. 4. ...

BACKGROUND The adoption of robotic assistance has contributed to the increased utilization of partial nephrectomy for the management of renal tumors. However, partial nephrectomy can be technically challenging because of intraoperative hemorrhage, which limits the ability to identify the tumor margin and may necessitate the conversion to open surgery or radical nephrectomy. To our knowledge, a ...

Based on the theory of relativistic mean-field effective interactions, we explore effect superstrong magnetic fields (SMFs) nuclear single-particle level structure, blinding energy, and electron Fermi energy in strongly magnetized super-Chandrasekhar white dwarfs (SMSWDs). We also discuss capture (EC) instability from threshold mass density (TMD) pressure (TP) for some typical iron group nuclei...

CONTEXT Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for 2-3% of adult malignancies. There remain uncertainties over the oncological outcomes for the surgical management of localised RCC. OBJECTIVE Systematically review relevant literature comparing oncological outcomes of surgical management of localised RCC (T1-2N0M0). EVIDENCE ACQUISITION Relevant databases including Medline, Embase, and the Coch...

Nephrectomy is the cornerstone therapy for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and continued refinement of the procedure through research may enhance patient outcomes. A national nephrectomy registry may provide the key information needed to assess the procedure at a national level. The aim of this study was to review nephrectomy data available at a population-based level in Australia and to benchmark t...

OBJECTIVE To analyze trends in the use of partial nephrectomy, we evaluated which individual factors of renal nephrometry score (RNS) influenced the operative approach bi-annually from 2008 to 2014. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective review of renal cell carcinoma treated by surgery in 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2014. The complexity of renal masses was measured using the R.E.N.A.L....

The closure of the renal defect is the most challenging part of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy when suturing is required. The author presents a method of creating and using suturing material for laparoscopic partial nephrectomy that has been developed over several hundred cases at the author's institution. These techniques can be used to simplify the task of suturing during laparoscopic parti...

There are a range of treatment strategies for the management of patients with small incidental renal cortical tumours including active surveillance, radiofrequency ablation, cryotherapy, radical nephrectomy and partial nephrectomy. A large number of such tumours are benign and might therefore be over-treated with radical nephrectomy. There are emergent short-term oncological and clinical outcom...
