We present a 2-month-old boy with a primary obstructive megaureter and a giant abdominoscrotal hydrocele (ASH) on the left side. The ASH was initially misdiagnosed as a fornix rupture with infrarenal urinoma, but clinical and radiological examination led to the right diagnosis. Retroperitoneoscopically assisted mobilization combined with the inguinal approach allowed the successful resection of this large ASH.

A case of redo pyeloplasty using robot-assisted retroperitoneoscopic pyeloplasty (RARP) for failed primary laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) for ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is reported. A 12-year-old boy had LP elsewhere. He was referred for management of persistent left hydronephrosis, but was managed conservatively due to minimal symptoms and stable radioisotopic renography.

Laparoscopic versus open lumbar sympathectomy in critical limb threatening ischemia patients in Egypt.

General Surgery Department, Alexandria University, Faculty of Medicine, Alexandria, Egypt.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effectiveness of retroperitoneoscopic lumbar sympathectomy (RPLS) versus conventional open lumbar sympathectomy (COLS) for treating critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) in patients who cannot undergo revascularization.
- - Patients who underwent RPLS experienced shorter hospital stays, fewer complications, and less postoperative pain, although the procedure took longer to perform initially.
- - The quality of life significantly improved in the RPLS group, with SF-36 scores rising notably, while no significant differences were found in other clinical measures between the two groups. RPLS is considered safe and effective but requires training to minimize operative time.

Department of Urology, Beijing Friendship hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Background: We aimed to introduce our modified hand-assisted retroperitoneoscopic living donor nephrectomy (HARPLDN) technique and define the learning curve.
Methods: One hundred thirty-eight kidney donors who underwent modified HARPLDN by the same surgeon between May 2015 and March 2022 were included. A cumulative sum (CUSUM) learning curve analysis was performed with the total operation time as the study outcome.
