Impact of blood transfusion on survival after nephrectomy for localized or locally advanced renal cancer.

Objective: Several studies have reported blood transfusion were associated with a decrease of survival after oncological surgery. For kidney cancer, the effect of blood transfusion is still debated. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of blood transfusion after oncological nephrectomy on overall, specific and recurrence-free survival in a retrospective cohort of localized or locally advanced kidney cancer.

[Sacral neuromodulation as treatment of non-neurological vesical emptying disorders].

Goal: The goal was to evaluate the results of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) in non-neurological vesical emptying disorders.

Patients And Methods: From February 2010 to October 2017, 28 patients presenting voiding symptoms or a non-obstructive chronic urine retention without neurological cause have been operated for an SNM (test phase). The test was positive in case of decreased number of proper intermittent self-catheterization (SC) or post-voiding residual urine (PVR) of at least 50 %.

[Concordances and predictors of biopsies in renal tumors].

Aim: Evaluate the concordance between the renal lesions biopsy's histology and the final histology of the surgical specimen according to histological subtype, and search for predictive factors of non-concordance.

Material: We performed a monocentric retrospective study that included 156 patients suffering from a renal tumor that benefited a lesion biopsy before surgical treatment. Sensibility and specificity of the renal lesion's biopsy for histological diagnostic of the different renal tumors where calculated.
