Objective: To introduce the methods and techniques of treatment of renal pedicle vessels during retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy.
Methods: Retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomies were performed in 580 cases in our hospital from March 2004 to May 2014. Different measures were adopted to seek and manage bilateral renal pedicle vessels. The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, duration of postoperative drainage, and postoperative hospital stay were analyzed retrospectively.
Results: 12 cases were converted to open surgery due to severe bleeding of renal pedicle vessels. Mean operative time was (100.5 ± 24.8) min, mean intraoperative blood loss was (90.4 ± 26.5) ml, duration of postoperative drainage was (3.6 ± 1.2) d, and mean postoperative hospital stay were (7.4 ± 2.8) d.
Conclusion: Different managing for bilateral renal pedicle vessels will help to decrease operative time and improve the safety of the surgery.

Objective: Laparoscopic nephron sparing surgery (NSS) can be performed by mainly 2 methods, offclamp or on-clamp. Continuous bleeding during the off-clamp method may impair the clear visualization of the border between the tumor and parenchyma, even though it is done safely in experienced hands. Therefore, some surgical modifications may be needed during mass excision and renorraphy.

Kidney allograft torsion (KAT) is a rare but critical complication of kidney transplantation that can lead to graft loss due to acute ischemia. This report presents a case of KAT resulting in graft loss 9 months following intraperitoneal simultaneous pancreas and kidney (SPK) transplant and reviews previous reports to identify potential high-risk features. A 38-year-old female with end-stage renal disease secondary to Type 1 diabetes mellitus underwent an intraperitoneal enteric drained SPK transplant.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a leading cause of death in the United States, and renal fibrosis represents a pathologic hallmark of CKD. Extracellular cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (eCIRP) is a stress response protein involved in acute inflammation, tissue injury and regulated cell death. However, the role of eCIRP in chronic inflammation and tissue injury has not been elucidated.

Renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a common clinical factor for acute kidney injury (AKI). A current study investigated the renoprotective effects of the trinitroglycerine (TNG) combination with chitosan nanoparticles (CNPs) on renal I/R-induced AKI. Rats were randomly assigned to five groups (n = 8/group): Sham, I/R, TNG (50 mg/kg) + I/R, CNPs (60 mg/kg) + I/R, and TNG-CNPs + I/R.

Background And Aims: Image Defined Risk Factors (IDRFs) assess surgical risk in neuroblastoma (NB) and guide neoadjuvant therapy. Despite chemotherapy IDRFs may persist in 70 % of cases. Several studies have suggested that not all IDRFs hold equal significance and that the presence of an IDRF does not inherently signify unresectability.
