Article Synopsis
- Nephrolithiasis (kidney stones) is frequently seen after malabsorptive bariatric surgeries, but the risk varies by surgery type, which this study aims to clarify.
- The study analyzed 116,304 patients who underwent different types of bariatric surgery and tracked their kidney stone diagnoses and procedures over time, using administrative data.
- Results showed that the risk of developing kidney stones was highest after biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPDDS) surgery, particularly in male patients, compared to other bariatric procedures like gastric banding and sleeve gastrectomy.
Objective: To report a contemporary series of surgically treated patients with tumors involving kidneys with fusion anomalies.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of all 10 patients treated at a single tertiary care institution for tumors involving kidneys with fusion anomalies between the years 2000 and 2015. One patient, diagnosed with lymphoma, did not undergo surgical treatment and was therefore excluded.
Background: Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients are commonly treated with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors or mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors. Correlations between somatic mutations and first-line targeted therapy outcomes have not been reported on a randomized trial.
Objective: To evaluate the relationship between tumor mutations and treatment outcomes in RECORD-3, a randomized trial comparing first-line everolimus (mTOR inhibitor) followed by sunitinib (VEGF inhibitor) at progression with the opposite sequence in 471 metastatic RCC patients.
Objective: To evaluate clinicopathologic characteristics and treatment outcomes of patients undergoing partial nephrectomy (PN) or radical nephrectomy (RN) for unilateral synchronous multifocal renal tumors.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records for 128 patients with nonmetastatic, unilateral, synchronous, multifocal renal tumors who underwent surgical resection at our institution from 1995 to 2012. Five patients with hereditary renal cell carcinoma were excluded.
Purpose: Renal cell carcinoma most commonly metastasizes to the lung. Indeterminate pulmonary nodules develop preoperatively in half of the patients with localized renal cell carcinoma but clinical significance remains poorly defined. We determined whether the presence of indeterminate pulmonary nodules, or nodule size or number is associated with renal cell carcinoma outcomes.
