Accuracy, safety, and diagnostic prediction of percutaneous renal mass biopsy and subsequent changes in treatment.

Introduction: The incidence of renal tumours is increasing annually, and imaging alone cannot meet the diagnostic needs.

Aim: This single-centre study aimed to evaluate the predictors of diagnostic imaging-guided percutaneous renal mass biopsy (PRMB), its accuracy and safety, and subsequent changes to the treatment plan.

Material And Methods: We retrospectively collected the clinical data of patients who had undergone PRMB.

Modified versus three-level technique of retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy for all patients with adrenal lesions ≤ 6cm: a retrospective, case-controlled study.

Objectives: The modified three-level technique for retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy (RLA) has proven beneficial in the treatment of adrenal lesions in patients with BMI≥25 Kg/m. This paper aims to summarize our institution's seven-year experience using this technique for all patients with Adrenal Lesions ≤ 6cm.

Patients And Methods: Between January 2016 and December 2022.

Presence of lymph nodes and metastasis within prostatic anterior fat pad in radical prostatectomy patients: A single Chinese institution experience and literature review.

Introduction: Limited data from China, aim to investigate the incidence and the risk fctors of lymph node metastases in the prostatic anterior fat pad (PAFP).

Material And Methods: Patients underwent radical prostatectomy (RP) were enrolled between March 2020 to December 2022 at a single institution. Separate pathological analysis of PAFP was performed within this area.

Atypical Recurrent Renal Cell Carcinoma of the Ipsilateral Ureter Showing Typical Symptoms of Upper Urinary Tract Urothelial Carcinoma: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Background: Ureteral metastasis is a rare phenomenon. Synchronous recurrence in both the pelvis and ureter with symptoms that are typical of upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) has not been reported previously.

Methods: We present a case of metastasis of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) to the ipsilateral pelvis and ureter in a 37-year-old man who underwent open partial nephrectomy (PN) after laparoscopic exploration 20 months after surgery.

Modified Laparoscopic Nephron-Sparing Surgery for Large Renal Hilar Angiomyolipoma: Dual-Center Experience.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate a potential successful strategy for treating large renal hilar angiomyolipoma (RHAML) during the procedure of laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery (NSS).

Methods: The total study population includes 12 patients with large RHAMLs who underwent laparoscopic NSS in the Department of Urology of Fujian Provincial hospital and People's Hospital of Zhejiang, ranging from January 2016 to March 2020. The perioperative variables, intraoperative procedures, and postprocedure complications were all recorded.

Applicability of 14 Formulas for Estimating Glomerular Filtration Rate in the Evaluation of Renal Function before and after Nephron-Sparing Surgery in Patients with Renal Tumors.

To compare the applicability of 14 equations of estimating glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) before and after nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) for renal function assessment of patients with renal tumors. Preoperative and postoperative GFR is measured by emission computed tomography (ECT) with 99mTc-DTPA as an imaging agent as reference GFR (rGFR) to compare with all formulas. Spearman correlation analysis and Bland-Altman agreement analysis were used to evaluate the correlation between rGFR and eGFR1 to 14 before and after surgery.

The effect of preoperative urine culture and bacterial species on infection after percutaneous nephrolithotomy for patients with upper urinary tract stones.

To study the relationship between preoperative urine culture, bacterial species and infection after percutaneous nephrolithotomy in patients with upper urinary tract stones, and summarize the clinical characteristics of different bacterial infections. From January 2014 and January 2020, 963 patients with upper urinary tract stones who underwent PCNL in the department of urology of Fujian provincial hospital were included in the study. Information included the patient's age, gender, weight, diabetes, chronic disease history, urine routine, preoperative urine culture results, stone size, number of stones, hydronephrosis level, operation time, body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, breathing rate, hemoglobin, serum creatinine, bilirubin, platelets and whether there was preoperative infection were recorded.

The effect of the papillary renal cell carcinoma subtype on oncological outcomes.

The study aimed to compare the clinicopathological features and prognosis between type I and type II papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC) and to investigate whether the subtypes of PRCC would affect oncological outcomes. A total of 102 patients with PRCC were recruited, of which 42 were type I PRCC and 60 type II. The clinicopathological features and oncologic outcomes of the patients were evaluated.

Modified three-level techniques of retroperitoneal laparoscopic procedures to treat adrenal lesions for patients with BMI ≥ 25 Kg/m.

To evaluate the modified Zhang's 'three-level' technique of retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy (RLA) to treat adrenal lesions for patients with BMI of 25-30 Kg/m. A retrospective analysis was performed in all patients with BMI of 25-30 Kg/m in our hospital from January 2014 to December 2019. Those who underwent laparoscopic adrenal surgery were divided into two groups on the basis of the technique used: the Zhang's technique (the ZT group) and the modified technique (the MT group).
