Objectives: To evaluate the incidence of positive cystic fluid cytology and its risk factors in cystic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) addressing its implication on the current surgical practice.
Methods: All clinically diagnosed Bosniak III, IV cystic renal masses from March 2019 to August 2022 were studied prospectively. Database of patients' demographics and cystic tumor characteristics were recorded.
Background: Cytoreductive radical nephrectomy (cRN) with immunotherapy is the treatment of choice in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Limited data are available on the role of cytoreductive partial nephrectomy (cPN) in mRCC. This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis of the evidence regarding survival rates comparing cPN versus cRN.

This study presents our experience of RIRS in the management of 2 cm-4 cm renal stones.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was performed of all patients who underwent RIRS for 2 cm-4 cm renal stones over a period of 22 months.
Distant metastasis to the ureters is uncommon. Moreover, isolated ureteric metastasis from gastric cancer is extremely rare and only sporadically reported. It indicates an advanced stage and carrier a very poor prognosis.

HS, also known as acne inversa, is a chronic and often debilitating disease primarily affecting the axillae, inframammary regions and perineum. The location of the lesions may lead to social embarrassment and failure to seek medical treatment.

- The study aimed to analyze testicular biopsy outcomes to understand the causes of azoospermia and severe oligospermia in Saudi men, correlating testicular histology with their clinical and hormonal profiles.
- Data from 229 patients showed that most had azoospermia, with common histological findings of hypospermatogenesis and Sertoli cell-only patterns, while factors like low testicular volume and high hormone levels negatively impacted sperm production.
- The research concluded that despite significant male infertility factors, some patients still exhibited active spermatogenesis, and hypospermatogenesis was the prevalent spermatogenic defect observed.
