Purpose: Patients with artificial urinary eventually need surgical revision. Unfortunately, in women, this requires another invasive abdominal intervention. Robotic-assisted revision may provide a less invasive and more acceptable approach for sphincter revision in women.

Purpose: In this study, we aimed at evaluating the long-term adjustable peri-urethral balloons (PUB) durability in both male and female with neurogenic or non-neurogenic stress urinary incontinence.

Material And Methods: Each consecutive patient who underwent surgery for PUB placement before 2008 was included in this study. A PUB was proposed for patients with refractory to perineal reeducation stress urinary incontinence (SUI) caused by intrinsic sphincter deficiency.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to analyze the 30-day mortality rate after renal trauma and determine factors that contribute to mortality, using data from 1,799 patients across 17 hospitals in France from 2005 to 2015.
  • - The findings revealed a 30-day mortality rate of 3.27%, with only a small percentage of deaths directly attributable to renal trauma; significant risk factors included age over 40, hemodynamic instability, anemia, bilateral renal trauma, arterial contrast extravasation, and concurrent visceral and bone injuries.
  • - The study highlights that mortality rates after renal trauma are primarily linked to multiple associated injuries rather than solely from the trauma itself, providing insights that could assist healthcare professionals in identifying patients at higher risk

Background: Some health care systems have set up referral trauma centers to centralize expertise to improve trauma management. There is scant and controversial evidence regarding the impact of provider's volume on the outcomes of trauma management.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of hospital volume on the outcomes of renal trauma management in a European health care system.

Purpose: Adipose distribution and sarcopenia could better assess kidney transplantation outcomes than body mass index (BMI) and have been poorly evaluated among obese and overweight recipients. We aimed to evaluate morphometric radiologic markers to predict post-operative dialysis within this population.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study including patients with a BMI > 25 kg/m undergoing kidney transplantation during 5 years.

Aim: To assess the efficacy and safety of local injection used to reduce penile curvature in Peyronie's disease.

Methods: A review of the literature was carried out according to the PRISMA guidelines (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes) on the Medline database in April 2020, with the research: "collagenase"[All Fields] OR "Interferon"[All Fields] OR "verapamil"[All Fields] OR "betamethasone"[All Fields] OR "hyaluronic acid"[All Fields] OR "Platelet-Rich Plasma"[All Fields] OR "Stem Cells"[All Fields] AND "peyronie's"[All Fields] AND Controlled Clinical Trial[ptyp]. Only controlled studies with placebo group were included in this review.

Background: Angiography with selective angioembolization (SAE) is safe and effective in addressing bleeding in patients with renal trauma. However, there are no validated criteria to predict SAE efficacy.

Objective: To evaluate factors predictive of SAE failure after moderate- to high-grade renal trauma.

Purpose: Sarcopenia or adipose tissue distribution within obese and overweight renal transplanted have been poorly evaluated. Our objective was to evaluate morphometric markers to predict surgical complications in kidney transplantation.

Methods: We retrospectively included patients with a BMI > 25 kg/m undergoing kidney transplantation from 2012 to 2017.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare observation and early drainage by ureteral stenting in patients with blunt renal trauma and urinary extravasation.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective national multicenter study was performed including all patients admitted for renal trauma at 17 hospitals between 2005 and 2015. Patients presenting with a urinary extravasation on initial imaging were considered for inclusion.

Introduction: Renal traumas are common, observed in 10% of patients with abdominal trauma. Most renal traumas are blunt, resulting from a direct hit or from an abrupt deceleration.

Material And Methods: We realized a synthesis of renal trauma management for nurses.

Deceased after circulatory death (DCD) donors offer a viable solution to the current organ shortage, particularly the Maastricht Class III (arrest subsequent to cessation of life support in the hospital). Although current results from these donors are very satisfactory, the number of included donors is too low and future expansion of inclusion criteria will likely decrease organ quality, with negative consequences on the complication rate. This donor type thus represents a priority in terms of scientific exploration, so as to study it in controlled settings and prepare for future challenges.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess whether early discharge could be non-inferior to inpatient management in selected patients with low-grade renal trauma (AAST grades 1-3).

Materials And Methods: A retrospective national multicenter study was conducted including all patients who presented with renal trauma at 17 hospitals between 2005 and 2015. Exclusion criteria were iatrogenic and AAST grades 4 and 5 trauma, non-conservative initial management, Hb < 10 g/dl or transfusion within the first 24 h, and patients with concomitant injuries.

Introduction: Delayed graft function (DGF) has a significant impact on kidney transplantation outcome. One of the underlying pivotal mechanisms is organ preservation and associated hypothermia and biochemical alteration.

Areas Covered: This paper focuses on organ preservation and its clinical consequences and describes 1.

Background: The majority of laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) reports arise from Asia and the benefit of this approach in western countries remains unclear. The objective of this study was to compare the postoperative outcomes between LG and open gastrectomy (OG) for gastric cancer in a western center.

Methods: Between 2005 and 2015, all consecutive patients with gastric cancer who underwent either LG or OG were enrolled.

Objective: To assess the impact of ischaemia on renal function after partial nephrectomy (PN).

Materials And Methods: A literature review was performed according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) criteria. In January 2015, the Medline and Embase databases were systematically searched using the protocol ('warm ischemia'[mesh] OR 'warm ischemia'[ti]) AND ('nephrectomy'[mesh] OR 'partial nephrectomy'[ti]).
