Background: To assess the feasibility of laparoscope-guided minilaparotomy (endoscopic minilaparotomy) for renal cell carcinoma in patients on chronic dialysis.
Methods: Endoscopic retroperitoneal minilaparotomy using a 30 degrees telescope was carried out through single skin incision (5-8 cm) in eight patients with renal cell carcinoma who were on chronic dialysis. Outcomes of the operations were compared to those in eight patients on chronic dialysis with renal cell carcinoma who underwent standard translumbar radical nephrectomy.
Results: Resection of the tumor was successfully completed without complication and the postoperative course was uneventful in both of the treatment groups. No significant difference in mean operative time or mean blood loss was observed between the treatment groups. Wound pain was minimal and analgesics were generally not required in the minilaparotomy group. The endoscopic laparotomy group resumed full diet and began walking earlier than the group that underwent standard radical nephrectomy.
Conclusions: Endoscopic minilaparotomy seems to be a valuable alternative treatment for renal cell carcinoma in patients on chronic dialysis.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is expected to become the fifth leading cause of death globally by 2040. Cardiovascular disease (CVD), particularly heart failure (HF), is a severe complication in CKD patients on hemodialysis. This study aimed to develop a nomogram to predict the risk of heart failure hospitalization in hemodialysis patients, providing a valuable tool for clinical decision-making.

Leontiasis ossea, also known as craniofacial fibrous dysplasia, is a rare form of osseous hypertrophy of the facial bones associated with chronic kidney disease and secondary hyperparathyroidism. As the condition progresses, changes in bone structure can lead to severe facial disfigurement, respiratory difficulties, dysarthria, and dysphagia. We describe the case of an approximately 30-year-old male with a long-standing history of end-stage renal disease who experienced rapidly progressing facial swelling and underlying bone changes following a period of poor access to dialysis.

Objective: To describe the treatment outcomes of patients who underwent Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) for Central Vein Occlusive Disease (CVOD) in end-stage kidney disease and determine the association between patient profile and treatment outcomes.
Methods: A single-institution, retrospective review of patients aged 18 and above with end-stage kidney disease who underwent PTA for CVOD in the University of the Philippines - Philippine General Hospital (UP-PGH) from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2022, was performed. These patients' demographic and clinical profiles were evaluated using means, frequencies, and percentages.
