- This study aimed to analyze how common surgically induced chronic kidney disease (CKD-S) is in patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) after they undergo radical nephroureterectomy (RNU), focusing on survival outcomes.* -
- Researchers looked at data from 1,862 patients and found that 34.7% developed CKD-S3a and 39.6% developed CKD-S3b after surgery, with older age, lower preoperative kidney function, and certain chemotherapy treatments linked to higher risks of developing CKD-S3b.* -
- The study revealed that while CKD-S3b patients had worse overall survival rates (59% over 5 years), CK
Introduction: Our goal was to compare outcomes of adrenalectomy performed by low-volume and high-volume academic urologists with extensive experience in renal surgery.
Methods: A single-center retrospective review identified patients undergoing adrenalectomy by urologists from 2009 to 2023. Data were gathered on demographics, tumor characteristics, surgeon volume, surgical outcomes including length of procedure, estimated blood loss, length of stay, and complications identified by the Clavien-Dindo complication classification system.
