Article Synopsis
- The objective of the study was to update recommendations for managing kidney cancer based on recent literature from 2014 to 2024, focusing on diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up methods.
- Key findings highlighted that kidney cancer linked to trichloroethylene exposure should be considered an occupational disease, and that contrast-enhanced CT scans are essential for diagnosis, while PET scans are not necessary.
- The updated guidelines recommend specific classifications for tumors, advocate for less invasive strategies like biopsies to avoid unnecessary surgeries, and suggest various surgical and treatment options tailored to tumor size, patient age, and overall health.
Purpose: Retropubic tension free vaginal tape (RP-TVT) has become the gold standard for surgical management of female stress urinary incontinence but is associated with voiding dysfunction (VD). We developed for more than 10 years a reproductible and totally tension free tape procedure. Our goal is to determine efficiency of this technique compared to the incidence of VD.

Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted from 2015 to 2022. The most relevant articles on the diagnosis, classification, surgical treatment, medical treatment and follow-up of kidney cancer were selected and incorporated into the recommendations.
Objectif: Evaluate kidney autotransplantation (KAT) and ileal ureter substitution (IUS) practice and outcome as alternatives to indwelling ureteral stents for the management of long ureteral stenosis (US).
Material: We included all patients treated for US with KAT or IUS in 5 French university urology centers between 2010 and 2018. We excluded US due to urothelial carcinoma.
