Introduction: The possibilities and limitations of fibrin glue (FG) usage in nephron-sparing surgery were studied.

Materials And Methods: A prospective experimental study was carried out in 50 pigs: 30 with polar resection, and 20 with mediorenal wedge resection of the kidney. Hemostatic sutures, FG, and FG with a muscle 'cup' in animals with polar resection of the kidney were compared. FG and sutures in animals with the wedge resection of the kidney were studied as well. Bleeding, hot ischemia time, complication rate, and additional scarring were also analyzed.

Results: Suture hemostasis is safe but with significant adverse effects in both polar and wedge resection of kidney. FG was not efficient as a sole hemostatic agent for polar resection. It was as efficient as hemostatic suture for wedge resection of the kidney. FG with a muscle 'cup' on a pole of the kidney achieved good results in animals with polar resection of the kidney. Histological analysis confirmed better results with FG because of both the less intense and smaller area of additional scarring.

Conclusion: FG is a reliable and efficient hemostatic agent for nephron-sparing surgery whenever both sided gluing is possible.

Background: Kidney tumors, common in the urinary system, have widely varying survival rates post-surgery. Current prognostic methods rely on invasive biopsies, highlighting the need for non-invasive, accurate prediction models to assist in clinical decision-making.

Purpose: This study aimed to construct a K-means clustering algorithm enhanced by Transformer-based feature transformation to predict the overall survival rate of patients after kidney tumor resection and provide an interpretability analysis of the model to assist in clinical decision-making.

The synchronous occurrence of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (PNEN) and clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) in one patient is extremely rare. Synchronous resection of both tumours is preferred over a two-stage procedure if possible. The robotic da Vinci Xi platform allows for multi-quadrant surgery with oncological outcomes comparable to those of laparoscopic or open surgery.

Background: Treatment options for patients with high-risk metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (mccRCC) include immune checkpoint inhibitors and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), but clinical manifestations and treatment of these patients are rarely reported because patients with cardiac metastases and abrupt circulatory disorders are very rare and there are no precise guidelines to follow. In this study, we analyzed and discussed the clinical characteristics, related characteristics, pathogenesis and treatment strategies of patients with cardiac metastases of kidney cancer, so as to provide reference for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac metastatic tumors.

Case Description: The patient was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma and underwent surgical radical resection, no special treatment was performed after surgery.

Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) poses a significant risk for maternal morbidity and mortality. There is a global rise in incidence of PAS in tandem with an increase in rates of cesarian section. Previous cesarian section and presence of placenta previa are two independent risk factors for development of PAS.

: Colorectal cancer is the third most common type of cancer in men and women. With advancements in technology, minimally invasive treatment options have become increasingly prominent in colorectal cancer surgery. This study aimed to compare the increased intra-abdominal pressure in laparoscopic colon and rectal surgery with open procedures using kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) secreted from renal tubules.
