Objectives: The objective of this study is to evaluate preoperative factors associated with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) utilization and outcomes for patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and tumour thrombus (TT). Radical nephrectomy with thrombectomy is a standard treatment for patients with RCC and associated TT. Morbidity and mortality rates tend to correlate with aggressiveness of tumour and TT level.

Inferior vena cava (IVC) invasion by tumor thrombus poses a significant surgical challenge, often requiring vascular reconstruction. Standard methods, including prosthetic and autologous vein grafts, have limitations such as infection risks, anticoagulation demands, and increased costs. We present the case of a 66-year-old male with a right renal tumor (T3bN0M0, Neves Zincke II) and gross hematuria, who underwent radical nephrectomy with open thrombectomy.

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.

Patient engagement and shared decision-making (SDM) between patients and clinicians is the foundation of patient-centered care. It aims to reach a treatment option that fits the patient's preference and is guideline-concordant. We sought to evaluate the possible causes and outcomes of patient's non-guideline-concordant care choices.

Introduction: To determine the impact of diabetes and antidiabetic medications on referral and pathological outcomes in uro-oncology cases. We report preliminary results from a single center study.

Methods: We retrospectively collected data from 781 patients treated between 2018 and 2023 for radical prostatectomy (RP) for prostate cancer (PCa), radical cystectomy (RC) for bladder cancer (BCa), radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) for upper tract urothelial carcinoma, partial nephrectomy (PN) and radical nephrectomy (RN) for renal cell cancer (RCC).
