The effect of tumor downsizing on surgical complexity during nephrectomy after immune checkpoint inhibitors for metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

Purpose: Immune Checkpoints Inhibitors (ICI) have changed the therapeutic landscape of metastatic renal cell carcinoma first-line treatment with complete response (CR) at metastatic sites observed in 10 to 15% of cases. Delayed nephrectomy could be discussed for patients having a clinical benefit from immunotherapy-based treatment. However, it is unclear whether prior immunotherapy exposure adversely influences the complexity of surgery.

Anticoagulation, photoselective vaporization of the prostate and safety : a propensity score-matched study.

Purpose: We compared surgical complications after laser prostatic photovaporization in anticoagulated versus non-anticoagulated patients.

Methods: A propensity score was calculated and patients were matched, to compare postoperative complications using the Clavien-Dindo classification between the anticoagulated and non-anticoagulated groups. We also identified factors associated with complications, and perform an analysis of secondary endpoint with categories of urological complications.

Surgical complications and graft survival in kidney transplant recipients according to CT-scans evaluation.

Introduction: Obesity is a risk factor for significant surgical complications following kidney transplantation. We examined morphometric parameters other than the body mass index (BMI) that could predict surgical complications and determine their impact on graft survival.

Materials: Kidney transplantations performed at our center between 2012 and 2019 were retrospectively evaluated.

Evaluation of local control after percutaneous microwave ablation versus partial nephrectomy: A propensity score matched study.

Introduction: The incidence of small renal tumors (≤4cm) is on the rise. The gold standard treatment is partial nephrectomy (PN) but focal therapy can be a good alternative. We evaluated oncological control after treatment of T1a renal tumors by microwave ablation (MWA) compared to PN.
