Renal-cell carcinoma (RCC) is rarely reported during pregnancy. Both the open and the laparoscopic approach to nephrectomy have been used effectively and safely in pregnant patients with RCC. We report a unique case of a 52-year-old woman found to have RCC during twin gestation who was treated with retroperitoneoscopic radical nephrectomy, one of the first such cases managed by this approach.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the preoperative risk factors for prolonged operating time in retroperitoneoscopic radical nephrectomy (RRN) for renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients treated for RRN between January 2015 and December 2021. Clinical data, including radiological findings such as visceral fat area (VFA), subcutaneous fat area (SFA), and posterior perirenal fat thickness (PFT) were collected.

Objective: To assess the correlation between the general (gender, age, and maximum tumor size) and 3D morphotopometric features of the renal tumor node, following the MSCT data post-processing, and the tumor histological structure; to propose an equation allowing for kidney malignancy assessment based on general and morphometric features.

Materials And Methods: In total, 304 patients with unilateral solitary renal neoplasms underwent laparoscopic (retroperitoneoscopic) or robotic partial or radical nephrectomy. Before the procedure, kidney contrast-enhanced MSCT followed by the tumor 3D-modeling was performed.

We proposed a new technique, single-position complete retroperitoneoscopic radical nephroureterectomy (SCRNU), which proved to be efficient for the treatment of upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). In this study, we retrospectively evaluated 86 patients diagnosed with UTUC at our hospital from June 2013 to June 2021. The patients who underwent traditional retroperitoneoscopic nephroureterectomy (TRNU) ( = 28) and SCRNU ( = 58) were consecutively enrolled.
