Hydatid cyst (HC) is a zoonotic disease that often affects regions where animal husbandry is common and preventive measures are not taken. This disease mostly affects the liver and the lungs. Involvement of other organs, such as the kidney, musculoskeletal system, and intracranial structures, is rare.

Objective: We estimated the potential outcomes, costs, and cost-effectiveness of the Vortex shunt, a novel fetal vesicoamniotic shunt (VAS), compared to standard shunts for treating fetal lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO).
Method: We designed a decision-analytic model comparing the Vortex shunt to current shunts using a theoretical cohort of 1000 pregnancies equivalent to the annual U.S.

We report a case of computed tomography-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of a bleeding renal angiomyolipoma. Radiofrequency ablation was performed as an alternative to partial nephrectomy and super-selective renal artery embolization for ruptured renal angiomyolipoma with slow persistent bleeding in a patient with elevated serum creatinine levels and other comorbidities. Computed tomography-guided radiofrequency ablation successfully stopped the active hemorrhage and did not affect long-term renal function during the 3-year follow period.

Intrarenal foreign bodies are rare and could be iatrogenic through direct penetration, penetration through the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), or retrograde migration from the lower urinary tract. We present Intraoperatively incidental findings of an intrarenal foreign body during percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) with no previous urological intervention. However, there is a significant multiple percutaneous liver abscess drainage and endoscopic procedures.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is the focal dilation of the terminal aorta, which can lead to rupture if left untreated. Traditional endovascular aneurysm repair techniques are minimally invasive and pose low mortality rates compared with open surgical repair; however, endovascular aneurysm repair procedures face challenges in accommodating variations in the patient's anatomy. Complex aneurysms are defined when the sac extends past the renal arteries or has an insufficient neck landing zone to deploy a traditional endograft.
