Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to validate the Yonsei nomogram, which predicts the risk of developing new-onset chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients undergoing partial nephrectomy for renal masses, using data from 3526 patients across 23 centers from 2000 to 2018.
- - Findings indicated that 19.4% of patients developed new-onset CKD, with a 5-year CKD-free progression rate of 77.9%; the nomogram showed increasing accuracy in predicting CKD stages over time with AUC values ranging from 0.69 to 0.78.
- - The results highlighted strong calibration of the nomogram, making it a useful tool for estimating individual CKD risk during long
Article Synopsis
- *Methods*: A retrospective comparison was made between OPD visits and endourology procedures from early 2019 and early 2020, specifically looking at the changes during April 2020 due to the pandemic's restrictions.
- *Results*: There was a significant drop in OPD visits and elective procedures during the pandemic, with teleclinics making up most of the consultations. Overall, urology services saw over a 75% reduction, prompting hospitals to adapt by increasing telehealth and day surgery options.
Concurrent bilateral emphysematous pyelonephritis and secondary iliopsoas abscess extending to thigh muscles with profuse rectal bleeding. A rare case scenario.

Introduction: Bilateral emphysematous pyelonephritis is exceedingly rare.
Case Presentation: A 56 year old diabetic male presented with high grade fever 40 c, chills, and bilateral loin pain since two weeks a picture of septic shock. CT showed bilateral emphysematous pyelonephritis, the left kidney was smaller in size, the right renal unit showed marked hydronephrosis, right iliopsoas abscess extending to the thigh.
Background: The impact of warm ischemia time (WIT) on renal functional recovery remains controversial. We examined the length of WIT>30 min on the long-term renal function following on-clamp partial nephrectomy (PN).
Methods: Data from 23 centers for patients undergoing on-clamp PN between 2000 and 2018 were analyzed.
Introduction: Genitourinary trauma secondary to a gunshot wound is uncommon as it only occurs in about 10% of cases. We present a case of a gentleman who suffered a gunshot wound to the kidney.
Presentation Of Case: A 28 year old man presented with irritative lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTs) since three months.
Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a rare life-threatening gas producing kidney infection, commonly affects uncontrolled diabetic patients with underlying urinary tract obstruction. Presence of pneumoperitoneum and involvement of the bowels are uncommon presentation of EPN. In the present report, we present a 59-year-old African male who had extensive EPN with pneumoperitoneum, pneumatosis intestinalis and extension to the bowel causing ischemia.

Methods: A comprehensive surge plan was promptly launched in mid-March 2020 to address the pandemic, and it expanded in a phase-wise approach. Supporting the capacity of the infection prevention and control department (IPCD) was a main pillar of the surge plan.
Background: COVID-19 pandemic has overwhelmed healthcare systems and limited access to surgical care. Urolithiasis can lead to emergencies and affect renal function during long-term follow-up. Therefore, timely and appropriate treatment is essential.

Methods: A retrospective multicenter analysis for patients with solitary impacted proximal ureteric stone ≥15 mm who underwent LPU from 2016 to 2019 was performed. Primary outcome was to estimate the stone-free rate (SFR).
Background: The aim of the present study was to compare the surgical outcomes of retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) and open retropubic radical prostatectomy (ORP).
Methods: We included patients with clinically localized prostate cancer who underwent RS-RARP or ORP and met our inclusion criteria. We compared the perioperative, oncological, and continence outcomes between both surgical approaches.
