Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy of Dual Renal Artery Kidneys: Single Center Experience.

Unlabelled: Multiple renal artery (MRA) kidneys represent a special challenge for surgeons, during both donor nephrectomy and renal transplantation.

Aims: This study aims to evaluate both donors and recipients outcomes of laparoscopically procured dual renal artery (DRA) kidneys. Patients and We reviewed the medical records of all living kidney donors who underwent laparoscopic donor nephrectomy between April 2009 and December 2014, and their recipients.

Recipient characteristics and outcome of pediatric kidney transplantation at the King Fahad Specialist Hospital-Dammam.

The success of a pediatric kidney transplantation program can only be judged by reviewing its results. We aim to audit our short-term outcome of pediatric kidney transplantation at the King Fahad Specialist Hospital-Dammam. A retrospective chart review was performed to collect data about recipient demographics, etiology of end-stage kidney disease, type of dialysis, type of donor and outcome.

Rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure following prolonged surgery in the lithotomy position.

Operative positions commonly used in urogenital surgeries when perineal exposure is required include the lithotomy and the exaggerated lithotomy positions (LPs), which expose patients to the risk of rhabdomyolysis. We report a patient with bladder outflow obstruction, benign prostatic hypertrophy and a very large bladder stone, which was removed with cystoscopy and cystolitholapaxy in the LP. The procedure was complicated by posterior bladder perforation and abdominal distention leading to prolonged surgery duration (5.

Unusual radiological presentation of renal cell carcinoma.

We present an unusual case of renal cell carcinoma in a 59-year-old Saudi male less than 3 cm in size showing a pelvicalyceal filling defect on excretory urography and retrograde pyelography. Renal stones and blood clots were excluded by ultrasound and computerized tomography scanning. A urothelial tumor was initially diagnosed; finally surgery revealed a papillary renal cell carcinoma.
