Outcomes of Minimally Invasive Adrenalectomy for Large Adrenal Masses: A Multi-Centre Experience in Saudi Arabia.

Introduction Advancements in radiological imaging technology have increased the discovery of adrenal incidentalomas. Large adrenal tumors (LATs) are not common, and the likelihood of malignancy increases with tumor size. LATs were defined as tumors larger than four centimeters (cm) with various pathologic diagnoses.

Thermoexpandable Memokath stent: Usage and efficacy in ureteral and urethral strictures in Saudi Arabia.

Objectives: Double J (DJ) stent is widely used in cases of ureteric strictures as a temporary solution; however, it has certain limitations, such as the need for frequent exchange. Alternatively, a long-lasting thermoexpandable stent (Memokath™ 051) has been used to relieve ureteral obstructions in comorbid patients with multiple reported advantages, such as longer durability which avoids the need of frequent exchanges. In addition, it can be used in certain cases of urethral strictures.

Long-term retroperitoneal lymph node dissection outcomes for nonseminomatous germ cell tumors with postchemotherapy retroperitoneal residual tumors, in a specialized hospital of Saudi Arabia.

Background: In men under the age of 35 years, testicular cancer is the most prevalent solid tumor. Additional treatment is necessary for many people with nonseminomatus germ cell tumors (NSGCTs). Whether in conjunction with chemotherapy or as a stand-alone procedure, retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) continues to play a critical role in the treatment of these patients.

Chylous Ascites Following Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy: A Case Report.

Chylous ascites is a form of peritoneal fluid accumulation that can arise from trauma or lymphatic obstruction. In this report, we present the first case of chylous ascites following laparoscopic donor nephrectomy in our high-volume kidney transplant center. The patient presented to the emergency department three weeks post-procedure with complaints of abdominal distention and discomfort, accompanied by constipation and nausea.

Pathological and clinical outcomes of adrenalectomy: A multi-center experience in Saudi Arabia.

Objective: To determine the nature of adrenal pathology in patients undergoing adrenalectomy in Saudi Arabia over the last decade and compare it with the literature. We compared perioperative outcomes between minimally invasive adrenalectomy (MIA) and open adrenalectomy (OA).

Methods: This retrospective study included patients who underwent adrenalectomy at five tertiary care centers in Saudi Arabia from 2010 to 2020.

Renal Angiomyolipoma Causing Inferior Vena Cava Thrombus in a Young Girl With Tuberous Sclerosis.

Angiomyolipomas (AML), also known as hamartomas, are benign mesenchymal tumors of the kidneys which consist of vascular tissue, smooth muscles, and adipose tissue, with a higher prevalence in females than males. AML may be associated with tuberous sclerosis, and the growth of the mass may present as hematuria or flank pain. We present a case of a 14-year-old female patient who had a known case of tuberous sclerosis since early childhood.

Post-Transplant Ureteric Stricture Managed By Extra-Anatomical Stenting With Modification on the Originally Described Stent Location: A Case Report.

Ureteric strictures are a relatively uncommon complication following renal transplant, which may be managed endoscopically or surgically by repairing the stricture. Extra-anatomical bypass is a useful procedure in complex cases that bypasses the ureter by creating a subcutaneous route, although it is uncommonly used given its rare indication. We report a case of renal transplant ureteric stricture, in which we utilized a modified extra-anatomical stenting technique with a Detour® stent to avoid the fibrotic planes surrounding the lateral aspect of the kidney graft.

A Large Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor of the Urinary Bladder in a Parturient Treated by Partial Cystectomy: Case Report and Literature Review.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare type of tumor composed mainly of fibroblastic and myofibroblastic spindle cells, with an inflammatory infiltrate of lymphocytes, plasma cells, and eosinophils. IMT may arise from different organs and sites, but it is infrequent to arise from the urinary bladder and usually manifests as hematuria. We report a case of a 24-year-old pregnant woman who presented to our hospital with gross hematuria.

Influence of social media on urologic knowledge acquisition among young urologists in Saudi Arabia.

Objectives: The present study explores how young urologists in Saudi Arabia are adopting social media as a learning tool and how this new development is shaping as far as learning is concerned.

Methods: A 18-item online survey via survemonkey.com was conducted.

An endourological management of 4-year-old bilateral neglected and encrusted ureteral stents.

Double-J (DJ) stents are integral tools in the hands of urologists. Nonetheless, it might be associated with significant complications. Forgotten DJ stent is a commonly encountered problem.

Renal myxoma - a case report of a rare kidney tumor, its differential diagnosis and literature review.

Introduction: Myxoma is a rare benign kidney tumor. Only 18 cases have been described in the literature. We report a new case of renal myxoma that arises from the renal parenchyma.

Concurrent Urinary Bladder Paraganglioma and Adrenal Phaeochromocytoma With Succinate Dehydrogenase-B Mutation.

Phaeochromocytoma (PHEO) is a neoplasm that arises from chromaffin cells present in the adrenal medulla. The counterpart of the PHEO extra-adrenal is termed paraganglioma (PGL). The urinary bladder PGL is a rare tumour, and it accounts for less than 0.
