Unlabelled: The current study aimed to evaluate short- and long-term complication rates and functional outcomes in a substantial cohort of patients undergoing ileal ureter interposition at two high-volume medical centres.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective single-arm analysis was conducted on patients who underwent ureter reconstruction using ileum between 2003 and 2022 at the University Clinic of Cologne and the National Cancer Institute of Ukraine. Data on aetiology, surgical techniques, pre- and postoperative kidney function changes, readmission rates and complication management were collected.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to identify key factors influencing the choice of surgical treatment for patients with localized Renal-Cell Carcinoma (RCC) using clinical and nephrometry data.
  • It involved a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent surgery for localized RCC between 2010 and 2017 and used multivariate predictive modeling to assess risks associated with surgical options.
  • Results indicated that the risks for partial nephrectomy (PN) were linked to remaining functioning kidney tissue volumes for polar and lateral tumors, while tumor size was the main factor for medial tumors, with the predictive model showing high sensitivity (95.2%) and specificity (95.4%).

Background: Person-centered maternity care (PCMC) has become a priority in the global health discourse on quality of care due to the high prevalence of disrespectful and lack of responsive care during facility-based childbirth. Although PCMC is generally sub-optimal, there are significant disparities. On average, women of low socioeconomic status (SES) tend to receive poorer PCMC than women of higher SES.
