Isolated ureteropelvic junction injuries due to blunt trauma are very rare and are missed at initial presentation in more than 50% patients. Hence they need high index of suspicion for diagnosis which is the main aim of reporting this case.

Rectus sheath patch. A novel surgical technique in the repair of isolated renal pelvis necrosis in a transplanted kidney. A case report.
Int J Surg Case Rep
August 2024
Queensland Kidney Transplant Service, Princess Alexandra Hospital, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
Introduction: Focal necrosis of the renal pelvis in a transplanted kidney is a rare but often morbid complication that may lead to graft loss. Given the scarcity of donor organs, all attempts are made to preserve the graft. Currently there is no standard surgical technique for reconstruction or repair of isolated renal pelvic necrosis.

Children's Hospital of Orange County, Division of Pediatric Urology, Orange, CA, USA; University of California, Irvine, Department of Urology, Irvine, CA, USA.
Background: Patients with high grade hydronephrosis (HN) and non-obstructive drainage on mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG-3) diuretic renography (renal scans) can pose a dilemma for clinicians. Some patients may progress and require pyeloplasty; however, more clarity is needed on outcomes among these patients.
Objective: Our primary objective was to predict which patients with high-grade HN and non-obstructive renal scan, (defined as T ½ time <20 min) would experience resolution of HN.
Evaluating the requirement of ultrasonography for children with their first urinary tract infection.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on managing urinary tract infections (UTIs) in young children and their potential link to congenital kidney abnormalities, exploring if selective use of renal and bladder ultrasonography (RBUS) could miss significant diagnoses.
- It analyzed data from 178 UTI patients aged 2 months to 2 years, noting that E. coli was the most common pathogen, with some presenting atypical causes.
- The findings suggest that using a criterion of requiring an atypical pathogen or recurrent UTIs to justify RBUS could reduce unnecessary tests while only missing a couple of serious kidney issues, indicating a more efficient diagnostic approach.
Single Port Robotic Pyeloplasty: early single-center experience.
Int Braz J Urol
November 2023
Department of Urology, Rush University Medical Center. Chicago, IL, USA.
Purpose: Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is a prevalent cause of hydronephrosis, especially in young patients. The treatment paradigm for this condition has shifted from open to minimally invasive pyeloplasty. In the present study we describe our initial single centre experience with single port (SP) robot-assisted pyeloplasty (RAP) via periumbilical incision.

Introduction: There is an ongoing controversy regarding management of ureteropelvic junction obstruction in infants, with a shift towards a non-operative approach. However, precise predictors of outcome are lacking. Recent studies postulated a high prognostic value of Technetium-99m-mercaptoacetyltriglycine tissue tracer transit with regard to the development of an impaired differential renal function and its potential improvement following pyeloplasty.
