Objective: To analyze whether it is correct to use endoscopic treatment via bulking agents of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) seen on video urodynamics with non-simultaneous involuntary detrusor contraction in chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO).
Methods: A retrospective study was performed with a cohort of 76 patients (age 48.9 ± 14.

Background: Renal artery embolization is a procedure that has been shown to be useful as a concomitant treatment for the resection of large renal tumors. Over the years, preoperative renal artery embolization concomitant with nephrectomy as a treatment option has proved to be useful in reducing morbi-mortality rates; however this procedure is not exempt from significant iatrogenia. Performing this technique in conjunction with nephrectomy in a single surgical act helps to maintain the advantages of this treatment, which in turn considerably reduces the associated morbi-mortality rates.
