Objective To compare patient-reported outcome measures in patients with and without abdominal wall complications after open partial nephrectomy (OPN) via flank incision. Patients Methods Patient-reported were collected 2017 from all operated on OPN incision between 2004 2016 Västerbotten County, Sweden. mailed the ventral hernia pain questionnaire (VHPQ) an asymmetry (AWA) to evaluate postopera...

OBJECTIVE The present study was designed to investigate the effects of α-lipoic acid on the abdominal aorta and hypertension in a remnant kidney model histomorphometrically, immunohistochemically, and ultrastructurally. METHODS We surgically reduced the renal tissue mass to 5/6 by applying a remnant kidney model. The rats were divided into 4 groups: Group 1- control group, Group 2- lipoic aci...

PURPOSE The laparoscopic approach for renal cell carcinoma is slowly evolving. We report our experience with laparoscopic radical nephrectomy and compare it to a contemporary cohort of patients with renal cell carcinoma who underwent open radical nephrectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS From 1990 to 1999, 32 males and 28 females underwent 61 laparoscopic radical nephrectomies for suspicious renal c...

PURPOSE Laparoscopic nephrectomy with autotransplantation is a viable option when renal preservation is required or ureteral reconstruction is impossible. In this study we report on our long-term experience with laparoscopic nephrectomy with autotransplantation. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review of data from all patients who underwent laparoscopic nephrectomy with autotransplantati...

1. In rats with inherited diabetes insipidus, unilateral nephrectomy plus drinking of 0.6% NaCl solution (saline) did not influence blood pressure in adult rats. However, when these factors applied before puberty, they produced hypertension. 2. We therefore analysed whether saline administration before puberty or unilateral nephrectomy before puberty was more important for this hypertensive res...

Abstract Incisional hernias in patients with bone defects are a real challenge. There is very little evidence of how to repairing them. Clinical Case 56-year-old patient. He underwent left external hemipelvectomy for osteosarcoma the iliac 2012 and nephrectomy 2013. The patient presents an inguinal right thigh root bulge progressive growth severe pain limited mobility. In past month, he was una...
