Objective: To evaluate the postoperative complications and prognosis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in a solitary kidney after irreversible electroporation (IRE).
Materials And Methods: A total of 8 patients with 9 RCCs in a solitary kidney treated with computed tomography (CT)-guided IRE from February 2017 to September 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Follow-up included contrast-enhanced CT or magnetic resonance imaging examinations at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and each year after IRE and the evaluation of the incidence of postoperative complications, renal function changes, local tumor recurrence, and metastasis.

Remplissage is a procedure that decreases the rate of recurrent instability after arthroscopic stabilization in patients with an engaging Hill-Sachs lesion. This technique involves capsulotenodesis of the infraspinatus tendon and posterior capsule into the Hill-Sachs lesion using 2 knotless anchors with suture passage through the infraspinatus tendon guided by a percutaneous needle. Previously described techniques use knots or anchor placement through the infraspinatus, which can be challenging to control and irreversible if tendon penetration occurs in an undesirable location.

Idiopathic megacolon and megarectum are rare clinical conditions characterized by irreversible dilation of the colon and rectum without an identifiable organic cause. The underlying pathophysiology remains poorly understood, though hypotheses suggest abnormalities in the enteric nervous system or smooth muscle dysfunction. These conditions present significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, especially in cases refractory to conservative treatment.

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a medium-to-large vessel vasculitis most commonly affecting the aortic arch and carotid branches. Lingual necrosis is a rare complication of GCA caused by lingual artery vasculitis due to ischemia. A delay in diagnosis can result in irreversible complications such as tongue amputation.

Preclinical studies suggest that irreversible electroporation (IRE) increases the effect of immune checkpoint inhibition in pancreatic cancer (PC). Patients with PC received PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab and, on day 10, percutaneous IRE of a liver metastasis. Blood samples were analyzed for immune cell subsets and inflammation related proteins.
