Purpose: This is a retrospective study comparing the clinical data and morbidity of transperitoneal radical nephrectomy (TRN) and simple nephrectomy.
Material And Methods: From 1st January, 1989 to 1st January, 1996 a total of 90 simple nephrectomies and from 1st January, 1996 to 1st August, 1999 a number of 85 TRN were performed at the Department of Urology of the Saint Stephen Hospital. The analysis of clinical data included operative time, length of analgesics, postoperative hospital stay and blood loss, as well as morbidity.
Results: The mean operative time for TRN was 170 min., being 95 min. for simple nephrectomy. The mean blood loss for TRN was 250 ml, and 400 ml for simple nephrectomy. There were different types of morbidity for TRN and simple nephrectomy. The complications of TRN mean minimal risk and easy correctibility.
Conclusion: Our results demonstrate an overall clear advantage of TRN when compared to simple nephrectomy.

Objective: Simple renal cysts (SRCs) represent the most frequently occurring type of renal cysts, frequently observed in the elderly population. While generally considered benign, SRCs may sometimes be connected to comorbid conditions such as hypertension, aortic diseases, and renal dysfunction. This research aims to investigate the factors influencing the development of SRCs in kidney donors and the associated risks.

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy of two regional anesthesia methods, transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block and erector spinae plane (ESP) block, for intraoperative and postoperative pain relief in patients undergoing laparoscopic nephrectomy.
Methods: Fifty patients aged 18-80 years with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification I-II scheduled for elective laparoscopic nephrectomy were included after ethical approval and informed consent. Patients were randomly assigned to either Group TAP (receiving TAP block) or Group ESP (receiving ESP block).

The patient was a male in his 60s who underwent a retroperitoneoscopic right nephrectomy for a diagnosis of right renal cell carcinoma (cT3aN0M0). During surgery, the patient was positioned in the left lateral recumbent, jackknife position. A blood test of the day after surgery showed an abnormally high CK level of 23,038 U/L.

The indication for kidney transplantation over a urinary diversion (UD) for patients with severe lower urinary tract dysfunction and end-stage renal disease is a controversial issue. Thanks to advances in robot-assisted kidney transplant (RAKT) programs, the boundaries are being pushed further. We present the first RAKT series reported for patients undergoing simple cystectomy and UD for benign bladder disease.

Angiomyolipoma is a benign mesenchymal tumour of kidney that consists of adipose tissue, muscle cells and blood vessels. Renal angiomyolipomas represent almost one percent of all renal tumours. We reported a case of a 50-year-old woman complaining of mild abdominal discomfort with no other symptoms and no remarkable medical history.
