Safety and efficacy of renal hilum control during laparoscopic nephrectomy and nephroureterectomy: A single-center experience in Saudi Arabia.

Objective: The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and long-term outcome of renal pedicle control during laparoscopic nephrectomy and nephroureterectomy.

Patients And Methods: A total of 126 nephrectomies and nephroureterectomies that underwent renal pedicle control using the endovascular stapler (45 or 60 mm vascular reload) were retrospectively analyzed. Perioperative outcomes, including the risk of arteriovenous fistula (AVF), hospital stay, and estimated blood loss, were recorded.

Preoperative imaging studies revealed a 9.8 cm cystic tumor arising from the lower pole of the right kidney, with multiple enhancing solid components and septation diagnosed as a cystic renal cell carcinoma.

Renal pedicle control in laparoscopic donor nephrectomy: Evaluation of a single-center experience.

Introduction And Study Purpose: Renal pedicle control is a crucial period in laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN). Till now, there is no standardized technique for renal pedicle control. Proper evaluation and investigation of the different ways of renal vessel control have to be done to avoid any calamitous event.

Renal cystic oncocytoma, malignant presentation for a benign disease.

Renal cysts can be identified using standard medical imaging and, a histological diagnosis is not required. However, lesions that are more complex require a detailed characterization to allow for determination of differential diagnosis and subsequent management approach. Oncocytoma is a benign epithelial tumor of the kidney, which usually presents as a solid tumor with a central stellate scar.

Management of polyorchidism in a prepubertal boy: A case report and literature review.

Polyorchidism is a very rare embryological anomaly characterized by the presence of extra number of testes with the usual presentation of two homolateral and one contralateral testis and no clear guidelines for management. Herein, we present a 14yearold case with left supernumerary testes presented with discomfort and painless mass, diagnosed by US and confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. Conservative treatment was implemented, in the form of ultrasound followup imaging (every 6-12 months) with selfscrotal examination every month.

Giant hydronephrosis management in the Era of minimally invasive surgery: A case series.

Introduction: Giant hydronephrosis (GH) is a rare urological entity, described as more than 1 L of fluid contained in the renal collecting system. Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is the most common cause. GH if not discovered and managed early can result in long term complications.
