The occurrence of primary carcinoma of the ureteral stump following radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma is extremely rare; 7 patients with the disease have been reported previously. All these patients were males with transitional cell carcinoma. The current study reports the case of a 61-year-old woman, who presented with gross hematuria following a radical nephrectomy for local clear cell renal carcinoma. A computed tomography scan revealed the presence of a mass on the ureteral stump. The patient underwent a left ureteral stump and bladder cuff excision. The histological diagnosis was high-grade transitional cell carcinoma of the ureteral stump, with focal interstitial cancer cell infiltrates. There was no evidence of recurrence during a follow-up period of 35 months. In addition, the present study reviewed the literature for previous patients with ureteral stump carcinoma following a radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma; 7 previous patients with the disease were identified. The present study suggests that, if patients who have previously undergone a radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma present with hematuria, the possibility of ureteral stump carcinoma should be considered, particularly in East Asian countries. The existence or a history of bladder carcinoma should be considered as a high-risk factor for developing ureteral stump carcinoma. A ureteral stump and bladder cuff excision should be performed once ureteral stump carcinoma is diagnosed.

Introduction: We describe a method of robotic ureterocalicostomy (RALUC) with the Da Vinci Single Port (SP) platform and present clinical outcomes in our cohort of patients.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all patients undergoing RALUC with the SP platform in a single-institution, IRB-approved database between 2020-2023. Demographics, preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative outcomes were collated.

Article Synopsis
- Liposarcoma of the uterine corpus is an extremely rare tumor with distinctive characteristics and treatment difficulties, as shown in a case study of a 57-year-old woman.
- The patient initially had surgery and chemotherapy after presenting with severe abdominal issues, but faced multiple recurrences over the following years, including a more aggressive form of the tumor.
- This case emphasizes the need for careful monitoring and individualized treatment plans to tackle the aggressive behavior of recurrent liposarcoma, particularly when it transforms into a dedifferentiated form.

Introduction: Surgical resection by heminephrectomy is considered the preferred treatment for duplex kidneys with non-functioning moieties. Ureteral remnant may be ligated or left in situ to avoid the risk of injury to the healthy ipsilateral ureter; however, distal redundant ureter may sometimes cause long-term complications and require further reoperation. Upper pole heminephrectomy is a surgical procedure often performed to address various renal pathologies, such as duplex kidney or non-functioning upper renal moieties.

Introduction And Importance: Ureteric stump syndrome [USS] is a series of febrile recurrent lower abdominal pain, urinary tract infections, and hematuria that sometimes present with empyema as a rare complication. The ureteric stump is left after ureteric re-implantation due to an impacted stone at the Vesical-ureteric junction [VUJ], or after nephrectomy of a non-functional kidney due to a distal stone; the ureteral stump forms a source of infection to the urinary bladder, in addition to long-term obstructive stones left at the ureteric stamp. This usually cause chronic irritation of the mucosa and potentially change to metaplasia, dysplasia and malignancy.

Material And Methods: We present two cases of double-tract reconstruction after gastrectomy and the gastric stump extirpation as a part of simultaneous surgical approach to patients with gastric cancer and cardiovascular diseases. A 62-year-old patient underwent simultaneous gastrectomy with double-tract reconstruction (for the first time In Russia) and aortofemoral replacement.
