A 30-year-old man was diagnosed with renal trauma Grade a and hospitalized on February 22, 2009. There was no apparent stenosis from the renal pelvis to ureter on pyelography, but computed tomography demonstrated urinary extravasation on March 2. An indwelling drainage catheter was placed percutaneously by an ultrasound-guided approach. An incidental ureter-obstructing blood clot prolonged the indwelling period of the drainage catheter, but we succeeded in avoiding open surgery. Although ureteral stenting might be generally selected for the primary management of traumatic urinary extravasation, it should be remembered that percutaneous drainage is effective in some cases. We consider it important to select the optimal treatment based on an accurate diagnosis of each case.

A 50-year-old patient with a prior history of chronic smoking presented to the emergency department with diffuse abdominal pain, primarily localized to the right hypochondrium and epigastric region, along with nausea, but without fever, vomiting, or urinary symptoms. Laboratory tests were largely unremarkable except for isolated hematuria and a mildly elevated CRP. Given the atypical clinical presentation, a 3-phase abdominal CT scan (without contrast, portal, and delayed phases) was conducted, revealing a horseshoe kidney with an obstructing 4 mm stone at the right ureteral meatus.

Background: For renal hilar angiomyolipoma, general surgical resection is often quite challenging. The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an innovative robot-assisted laparoscopic strategy that combines tumor enucleation with tumor aspiration in the treatment of renal hilar angiomyolipoma.
Methods: The clinical data of 38 patients with renal hilar angiomyolipoma who went through robotic tumor enucleation combined with tumor aspiration in the Department of Urology, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School, from December 2019 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.

Vascular access is an indispensable component of haemodialysis therapy for end-stage kidney disease patients. The arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is most common, but importantly, two-year failure rates are greater than fifty percent. AVF failure can occur due to a lack of suitable vascular remodelling, and inappropriate inflammation preventing maturation, or alternatively neointimal hyperplasia and vascular stenosis preventing long-term use.

Objective: To identify risk factors for failure of conservative management (CM) for uncomplicated extraperitoneal bladder injuries (EBI).
Methods: The trauma registry at a single Level 1 trauma center was queried for patients presenting with a blunt EBI between 2004 and 2022. Patients with CM and follow-up through at least 1 postoperative cystogram or catheter removal were included.
