Article Synopsis
  • * The Mayo adhesive probability (MAP) score is an image-based system that uses radiological signs (perinephric fat stranding and thickness) to predict these complications and has shown a correlation with febrile urinary tract infections after similar procedures.
  • * In a retrospective study of 260 patients, factors like female gender, recurrent urinary tract infections, larger kidney stones, and a higher MAP score were identified as significant risk factors for developing post-RIRS fever and sepsis, emphasizing the importance of using this scoring system for better perioperative care. *

Purpose: Inguinal hernia is a common complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD). Although tension-free mesh repair is a leading option for inguinal hernia repair, concerns over serious mesh-related complications may indicate a role for non-mesh inguinal hernia repair. In addition, there is no consensus on the perioperative dialysis regimen.

Article Synopsis
  • The study compares the Senhance® Robotic System (SRP) to the da Vinci robotic system (DRP) in radical prostatectomy procedures, focusing on various surgical outcomes and costs.
  • Results show no significant differences in surgical complications, oncologic outcomes, or incontinence rates between SRP and DRP cases at three months post-surgery.
  • The Senhance system offers a safer and more cost-effective option for experienced surgeons, with a median procedure cost of $4170 compared to $7675 for the da Vinci system.

Background: Non-classical multiple aldosterone-producing micronodules/nodules (mAPM/mAPN) could be the pathogenesis of primary aldosteronism (PA). The co-existence of mAPM with adenomas harboring somatic mutations has not previously been reported.

Methods: We presented a PA patient with bilateral mAPM and concomitant autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS).
