Animal models investigating sevoflurane or compound A and renal function serve as the initial basis for concerns regarding renal injury following sevoflurane anesthesia and subsequent recommendations of minimum fresh gas flow, but this evidence basis has not been critically appraised. Primary literature searches were performed in MEDLINE OVID, PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, the International HTA Database, CINAHL, and Web of Science to identify randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies in animals utilizing sevoflurane or compound A. The primary outcomes included renal function as determined by blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, creatinine clearance, and urine volume.

Objective: To explore the feasibility and efficacy of the modified technique of totally intracorporeal ileal conduit (IC) construction vaginal approach following robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) in females.
Methods: By comparing the perioperative outcomes of the modified technique with extracorporeal urinary diversion (ECUD), 31 females treated for bladder cancer with RARC and IC from May 2020 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed and divided into two groups: the ECUD group (10 patients) and the modified intracorporeal urinary diversion (MICUD group) (21 patients). The modified technique involved performing transvaginal natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (TV-NOSES) after RARC; followed by the transvaginal placement of an Endo-GIA stapler to manipulate the bowel for intracorporeal IC construction.
