Gastric fundic gland metastasis of renal cell carcinoma 14 years after the primary diagnosis.

Gastric metastasis from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is rare and associated with poor outcomes. In this case, we report gastric fundic gland metastasis presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding in a patient who had a history of nephrectomy due to RCC 14 years ago. Metastasis of any cancer to the stomach is relatively uncommon.

Long-Term Outcomes of Left versus Right Laparoscopic Living Donor Nephrectomy with Multiple Renal Arteries.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to compare the long-term graft outcomes of left-versus-right donor nephrectomy with multiple renal arteries (MRAs), and therefore creating a reference for the expansion of the potential living kidney donor pool.

Methods: Laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy cases between May 2010 and October 2020 were included in this retrospective cross-sectional study. The data relating to donor and recipient demographics, surgical and anatomical characteristics, recipient, and graft status were retrieved and compared using nonparametric statistical methods and multivariate regression.

Comparison of Long-Term Outcomes of Standard and Transvaginal Kidney Extraction in Laparoscopic Living Donor Nephrectomy.

A limited number of publications are available in the literature regarding laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy with vaginal extraction (LLDN-VE) for kidney transplantation. The aim of this study was to compare long-term recipient outcomes of standard laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy (S-LLDN) and LLDN-VE. A total of 652 patients [119 LLDN-VE (18.

Geographic Distribution of Multiple Arteries and Veins of 878 Kidney Donors From a Transplant Center in Turkey.

Aim: The diagnosis and management of multiple renal arteries and veins have gained importance with the increasing number of kidney transplantations and improved techniques in interventional radiology and vascular reconstructions. The aim of this study is to define and to detect the rate of multiple renal arteries and veins in our living kidney transplant donors coming from all parts of our country.

Methods: Abdominal computed tomography angiogram findings of 878 kidney transplant donors were analyzed.

Transplantation of a Blue Kidney: A Case Report.

A blue kidney, although very rare, can be encountered upon a live kidney donor. Literature has shown hemosiderin deposits, lipofuscin pigment, and melanosis as possible reasons. We report on a 37-year-old woman who wished to donate a kidney to her husband.
