Right retrocaval ureter associated with asymptomatic left retro aortic renal vein: A case report.
Int J Surg Case Rep
March 2025
Department of Surgery, Medical School Hospital of Monastir, Tunisia. Electronic address:
Introduction And Importance: Retrocaval ureter is a rare congenital abnormality resulting from abnormal development of the inferior vena cava (IVC), leading to compression and obstruction of the right ureter. The condition is frequently diagnosed incidentally or presents symptoms related to hydronephrosis. The left retroaortic renal vein is another vascular anomaly with an estimated prevalence of 1.

March 2025
Department of Pediatric Surgery, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran. Electronic address:
Introduction: Among techniques for short spermatic vessels in nonpalpable undescended testis (UDT), the Fowler-Stephens (F-S) procedure is the most favored. However, traction methods have regained popularity with gradual testicular tension for elongation to avoid ligating the spermatic vessels.
Objective: To compare two techniques for low intra-abdominal UDT with a short spermatic cord: staged laparoscopic F-S and a modified staged open traction technique, and to determine if long-practicing surgeons should change their preferred method.
Addressing inequities in cryptorchidism care: The impact of social determinants on timely & true undescended testis referrals - A six-year study from a high-volume referral center.
J Pediatr Urol
February 2025
Department of Pediatric Urology, Riley Hospital for Children, Indiana University Health, Indianapolis, IN, United States.
Introduction: The American Urological Association (AUA) recommends urology referral and surgery for undescended testicle (UDT) before 18 months of age, but it has been shown that many referrals occur later, influenced by social factors.
Objective: This study aims to identify key social factors that impact UDT referral timing and appropriateness.
Study Design: Pediatric patients referred to our institution for UDT management from 2018 to 2023 were analyzed.

Generation of induced pluripotent stem cell line, NCHi028-A, from a male child with Prune Belly Syndrome.
Stem Cell Res
April 2025
The Kidney and Urinary Tract Center, The Abigail Wexner Research Institute, Nationwide Children's Hospital, Columbus, OH, USA. Electronic address:
Prune belly syndrome (PBS) is a rare, multi-system congenital myopathy mainly affecting males, whose genetic basis is still being explored. Phenotypically, its morbidity spans from mild to lethal, and PBS cases manifest three cardinal pathological features: wrinkled, flaccid ventral abdominal wall with skeletal muscle deficiency, urinary tract dilation with poorly contractile smooth muscle, and intra-abdominal undescended testes. NCHi028-A is an iPSC line derived from skin fibroblasts of a 1-month-old male with PBS using Sendai Virus reprogramming factors.
