Aim: to improve the differential diagnosis of infected cysts in patients with ADPKD and to reduce false-positive rate of MR-urography.
Materials And Methods: a total of 33 patients with ADPKD who underwent bilateral nephrectomy from 2015 to 2020 were included in the retrospective single-center study. In the group 1 (n=17) patients with histologically confirmed infected cyst (s) were included, while in the group 2 (n=16) there were patients without infected cysts.
Background: In patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and end-stage kidney disease, bilateral nephrectomy (BN) is currently performed predominantly via the laparoscopic approach. We analysed the results of BN depending on the approach and preoperative and perioperative factors.
Patients And Methods: This was a single-centre retrospective study carried out from April 2010 to March 2020, including a total of 142 patients presenting with ADPKD who were treated by BN.
Laparoscopic resection of the transplanted kidney has been very rarely reported in the literature. On the one hand, this is due to the extremely low incidence of tumors of renal transplants. On the other hand, these patients are usually managed by open surgery due to difficulties in laparoscopic resection because of the scar tissue in the kidney area.

This is because the kidney is embedded in scar tissue due to immune response to the allograft. This surgical approach is associated with the two major complications: bleeding during surgery or early postoperative hematoma and infection of hematoma confined in the remaining kidney capsule.

Seven patients had urosepsis, and 10 patients had a purulent form of pyelonephritis, which was one-sided in 7 of them. In the early postoperative period, on average, after 9.

Initially, given the significant upper urinary tract retention and post renal acute renal failure, the patient underwent bilateral percutaneous nephrostomy. Taking into account periodic gross hematuria, cystoscopy and transurethral electrocoagulation and biopsy of bladder tumor were performed and bladder cancer was identified.
