Renal autotransplant for major ureteric loss: Results from median 11 years of follow-up.

Objective: Renal autotransplant (RA) is an underutilized procedure to treat major ureteric loss. Studies on long-term outcomes and follow-up after RA are scarce. This study aimed to report the long-term outcomes and follow-up after RA.

Laparoscopic Live Donor Nephrectomy: Comparison of Outcomes Right Versus Left.

Objective: To compare outcomes between right- and left-sided laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy (LDN). Left LDN (LLDN) remains the side of choice whenever possible because the left renal vein is longer; however, there are some donors in whom the right kidney is taken for donation due to anatomical or functional reasons. Right LDN (RLDN) is perceived to be difficult due to anatomical factors.

Adrenocortical carcinoma with inferior vena cava thrombus: Renal preserving surgery.

Adrenocortical carcinoma with tumor thrombus extending via an adrenal vein into the inferior vena cava is uncommon. We describe a left side kidney-preserving surgery in such a patient where, after transection of the main renal vein at the point of insertion of the adrenal vein, the left kidney was being drained by lumbar and gonadal veins.

Buccal mucosal graft onlay repair for a ureteric ischemic injury following a pyeloplasty.

A 38-year-old female presented with long stricture in the left upper ureter following a pyeloplasty causing persistent flank pain. A left PCNL with an antegrade endopyelotomy was attempted in view of a concomitant left renal 1.5 cm calculus in the lower calyx but it failed.

Factors predicting success in hypospadias repair using preputial flap with limited pedicle mobilization (Asopa procedure).

Objectives: To analyze the objective factors determining success in hypospadias repair by the Asopa technique of limited preputial pedicle mobilization.

Methods: This was a prospective study involving a cohort of 48 patients (age range 1-19 years) who underwent hypospadias repair in a tertiary care teaching institution, with a follow-up of 20-58 months. Patient inclusion criteria were absence of past history of any local surgery with urethral plate less than 6 mm and hooded prepuce.
