The aim of this study was to evaluate efficacy of a plug made of small intestinal submucosa (SIS) for closure of dilated nephrostomy tract in the kidney after nephroscopy. Ten kidneys in 5 swine had nephrostomy tracts dilated up to 8 mm. The SIS plug was placed into the dilated renal cortex under nephroscopic control. Follow-up arteriograms, retrograde pyelograms, and macroscopic and histologic studies at 24 h (n = 4), 6 weeks (n = 2), and 3 months (n = 4) were performed to evaluate the efficacy of the plug. The SIS plug effectively closed the dilated nephrostomy tract. Follow-up studies showed minimal changes of the kidneys, except for 1 small infarction, regarding inflammatory and foreign-body reactions and progressive scarring of the SIS. SIS plug is effective for occlusion of dilated nephrostomy tract after nephroscopy. Its efficacy should be compared with other therapeutic options.

Introduction And Importance: Dilation and stretching of the collecting system of the kidney due to obstruction of urine flow is called hydronephrosis. This case may be accompanied by the presence of pus known as pyonephrosis. This case report reporting massive pyonephrosis in pediatrics related to management and source of control.

Background: The aim of this study was to report our technical experience and mid-term outcomes of robot-assisted redo ureteral reimplantation in adults following failed primary ureteral reimplantation.
Methods: Twelve patients underwent robot-assisted redo ureteral reimplantation from December 2020 to May 2022 at double centers. Surgical procedures included anti-reflux dismembered submucosal tunnel reimplantation, anti-reflux dismembered nipple reimplantation, and anti-reflux non-dismembered submucosal tunnel reimplantation.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the through-and-through wire (TTW) technique for antegrade ureteral Double-J stent placement after failure of either antegrade or retrograde ureteral stent placement.
Method: This retrospective study analyzed the medical records of consecutive patients who underwent Double-J stent placement with the TTW technique at Asan Medical Center and Gil Medical Center between January 2016 and February 2023. Patient histories, reasons for employing the TTW technique, TTW pathways, and complications were reviewed.

Article Synopsis
- - Obstructive nephropathy (ON) is a reversible condition that can cause acute kidney injury, resulting from blockage in the urinary tracts; it may not always present with hydronephrosis, leading to a form called non-dilated obstructive uropathy (NDOU).
- - NDOU typically occurs in older males and can present symptoms like low urine output, abdominal pain, and high serum creatinine levels; it often stems from external ureter compression due to conditions like retroperitoneal fibrosis or tumors.
- - Effective treatments include minimally invasive methods like ureteric stenting or nephrostomy, and timely diagnosis is crucial for managing the obstruction and potentially reversing kidney damage.
