Background And Objective: Management of a long proximal ureteral stricture is challenging. Buccal mucosal graft (BMG) ureteroplasty is a reliable technique for ureteral reconstruction that avoids the morbidity of bowel interposition or autotransplantation. We compared open and robotic BMG ureteroplasty in a two-center study.

- - Esophageal cancer is a deadly type of cancer, accounting for 5% of cancer-related deaths, with two main types: esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), the latter of which is less studied.
- - The study used advanced single-cell RNA sequencing to identify immune cell types and genes that influence anti-tumor responses in EAC, assessing their potential to predict patient outcomes post-surgery.
- - The findings suggest new immunological biomarkers for EAC that can help personalize treatment strategies, improve prognosis predictions, and aid in patient follow-up after surgery.
Purpose: This study aimed to identify the radiological CT findings that are significantly correlated with the outcome of conservative management with oral water-soluble contrast medium in patients presenting with Adhesive Small Bowel Obstruction (ASBO) to the Emergency Room.
Methods: In this retrospective single-center study, we considered all consecutive patients admitted to the ER from February 2019 to February 2023 for ASBO with an available contrast-enhanced CT scan performed at diagnosis and treated with conservative management. The investigated CT findings were type and location of transition zone, ASBO degree, fat notch sign, beak sign, small bowel feces sign, presence of peritoneal free fluid and pneumatosis intestinalis.
Introduction: Consensus for Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) in pediatrics has been achieved in neonatal intestinal surgery, yet it is not widely utilized in pediatric urology. We investigated the application of ERAS guidelines in pediatric urology, and determined its effects given the available level of evidence supporting the ERAS protocol in children.
Evidence Acquisition: A systematic literature review including series providing adoption of fast-track recovery protocols for pediatric urology procedures was carried out.
