Malignant hypertension due to renal artery stenosis after open partial nephrectomy in a solitary kidney.

Laparoscopic and open partial nephrectomy is now routinely performed on small renal masses. Complications of clamping the renal artery during nephron-sparing surgery can include atheroembolic events and dissection of the renal artery. We report a case involving renal artery stenosis after open partial nephrectomy on a solitary kidney.

Safe and novel technique for peritoneal access in urologic laparoscopy without prior insufflation.

Background And Purpose: Access to the peritoneum for transperitoneal laparoscopic surgery can be achieved using a variety of techniques, each of which has advantages and disadvantages as well as risks of complications. The endoscopic threaded imaging port (EndoTIP) is a metal, reusable, threaded visual-access cannula that is inserted by rotational rather than axial force. When the technique was described initially, capnoperitoneum was obtained prior to trocar insertion.

Late ureteral conduit urinary leak as a presentation of urothelial carcinoma of the ureter.

Urinary leakage at the ureteroenteric anastomosis in patients with urinary diversion is a rare complication that usually occurs in the early postoperative period, regardless of the indication for surgery. To our knowledge, ureteroenteric urinary leaks that occur late in the postoperative period have not been described. We present a unique case of a late ureteroenteric anastomotic leak within an ileal conduit that occurred as a result of recurrent urothelial carcinoma of the ureter at the site of anastomosis.
