Horseshoe kidney (HSK) is the most common renal fusion anomaly. There have been reports of an association of HSKs with medical renal disease. We report a case of a child with nephrotic-range proteinuria and a HSK. As the patient was on peritoneal dialysis, the entire HSK was removed en bloc via a retroperitoneoscopic approach with early postoperative reinitiation of peritoneal dialysis.

Zoning inside the renal fascia: The anatomical relationship between the urinary system and perirenal fat.
Int J Urol

Department of Clinical Anatomy, Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Tokyo, Japan.
Objectives: To examine the anatomical relationship between the urinary system and perirenal fat, and to clarify the zoning inside the renal fascia.
Methods: Using computed tomography images from 50 men, we examined perinephric veins to reveal vessel communication in perirenal fat. Nine cadavers were dissected to investigate connective tissue continuity and vessel communication inside the renal fascia.
Pure retroperitoneoscopic extravesical standardized seeable (PRESS) excision of distal ureter and bladder cuff in radical nephroureterectomy: step-by-step technique.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores a modified radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) technique using a minimally invasive approach called PRESS for bladder cuff excision (BCE), aimed at improving surgical outcomes.
- Out of 24 patients treated, 95.8% successfully completed the procedure, with a high achievement rate of the BCE trifecta, consisting of en-bloc excision, reliable closure, and no urine spillage.
- The results indicate that this technique is safe and effective, suggesting BCE trifecta should be a standard goal in similar surgeries, while urging for future comparisons with traditional open surgical methods.
Laparoscopic nephroureterectomy with laser endoscopic transuretral disinsertion in lateral decubitus: progressive adaptation to retroperitoneocopic approach.

Servicio de Urología, Hospital Universitario de Cabueñes, Gijón, Asturias, España.
Background: The ureteral disinsertion with bladder cuff technique continues to evolve. We present the endoscopic laser transurethral technique combined with a transperitoneal and retroperitoneal laparoscopic approach in lateral decubitus, without patient repositioning, for treating urothelial carcinomas of the upper urinary tract.
Materials And Methods: We present 3 laparoscopic nephroureterectomies: 1 transperitoneal and 2 retroperitoneal.

Ureteral cancer in the retrocaval ureter is rare. We herein report a patient with this condition laparoscopically treated. A 69-year-old man was referred to us because of right ureteral cancer diagnosed during ureteroscopic surgery for a ureteral calculus.

Objective: To describe our en bloc technique of retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) during retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy for upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma and evaluate perioperative outcomes.
Methods: From 2002 to 2015, 114 patients with urinary tract urothelial carcinoma located at the pelvis or upper or middle ureter underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy at 2 institutions. Performance of RPLND began in February 2009.
