Aortic endograft limb occlusion is a serious complication after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. We describe a yet unreported cause of endograft limb occlusion, the lithotomy position. Two patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm and colorectal cancer underwent an initial endovascular repair followed by cancer resection in the lithotomy position. Aortic endograft limb occlusion occurred in both patients immediately after the cancer operation. Percutaneous rheolytic thrombectomy was performed successfully in both patients. Pelvic surgery requiring the lithotomy position should be performed with caution in patients with aortic endografts, because it can result in endograft occlusion.

Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) is recognized as an effective intervention for renal stones measuring less than 20 mm. This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of a novel flexible kidney-fixed position compared to the conventional lithotomy position, focusing on lithotripsy efficiency and stone-free rates (SFR). A total of 100 patients undergoing unilateral RIRS between January 2023 and September 2024 were randomly allocated to either the conventional lithotomy position group or the kidney-fixed position group.

BACKGROUND Transplant lithiasis may be rare but poses significant risk to the renal graft function of the recipient. Immediate management is necessitated upon first detection, to prevent further complications. CASE REPORT We report 2 cases of transplant lithiasis that were not treated immediately upon first detection.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effects of ankle braces versus shoulder supports on peripheral nerve injury during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in patients positioned in a head-down Trendelenburg position.
- Conducted with 98 patients, results showed that neuropathies occurred in both groups, predominantly in the lower extremities, with 15% in the shoulder support group and 6.5% in the ankle brace group on the first postoperative day.
- Ultimately, the study found no significant difference in the rates of postoperative neuropathies between the two types of fixation, although a clinically relevant proportion experienced some form of neuropathy.

Transrectal recto-anal foreign bodies are occasionally encountered in routine practice, with sexual experimentation as the most common motivation for insertion. Although most patients with recto-anal foreign bodies are middle-aged, reports in younger patients are rare. In the present study, we encountered a case of recto-anal foreign body in a school-aged child.

This multicenter retrospective study aimed to assess the efficacy, intrarenal pressure (IRP), and complications of retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) using a flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheaths (FANS-UAS) in the reverse Trendelenburg lithotomy position (RTLP) for treating kidney and upper ureteral stones measuring 2-6 cm. Conducted at six medical centers in Fujian Province from 2022 to 2024, the study included 231 patients with a median stone size of 26 mm. The immediate stone-free rate (ISFR) was 90.
