The authors report a case of a ureteral stenosis of a transplanted kidney. The cause was a compression by the spermatic cord. The treatment was surgical, with a ureteroureterostomy with pyelostomy tube intubating the anastomosis. A bit of the drain remained in the renal pelvis; it was removed by percutaneous nephroscopy.

Background: There is still controversy about the best minimally invasive surgical method for the treatment of calyceal diverticulum calculi. We conducted meta-analysis to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of PCNL and FURL in the treatment of calyceal diverticulum calculi.
Methods: We searched Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, Clinical trial platform, CNKI, VIP until April 2024.

This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of an optimized treatment approach for complex renal calculi, utilizing visual needle nephroscopy in conjunction with standard PCNL and holmium YAG laser. We collected data from 62 patients diagnosed with complex kidney stones who underwent this combined procedure using the visual needle nephroscope (Needle-perc, Youcare Tech, Wuhan, China). The percutaneous nephroscopic working channel was established by visual needle nephroscope, and the primary channel was expanded to 20 F to treat most of the main body of the calculi with a 550 μm holmium laser fiber.

Percutaneous renal puncture drainage is needed in patients with perirenal hematoma (PRH, renal around hematoma) with poor conservative treatment. Early and thorough removal of hematoma is closely related to the recovery of patients, but percutaneous renal drainage is not effective in some patients. The clinical data of 5 patients with PRH treated in the first affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from June 2020 to June 2024 were analyzed retrospectively.

Article Synopsis
- Second look flexible nephroscopy (SLFN) is performed after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in patients with residual fragments (RFs) to assess and potentially remove any remaining stones.
- In a study involving 201 patients, the final stone-free rate after SLFN was found to be 60.7%, despite many still having RFs post-procedure, with factors like bilateral stones and larger stone burdens linked to persistent fragments.
- The study highlights that even with aggressive removal efforts during both PCNL and SLFN, some patients may still retain stone fragments, though the risk of complications from these fragments is currently unclear.
Objective: In complex renal stone disease, few studies have shown that supine percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is not inferior to prone PCNL. In our study, we evaluated the safety and efficacy of supine versus prone PCNL in patients with complex renal stone disease and patients with difficult anatomy.
Methods: We prospectively analyzed 106 patients over 15 months from October 2022 to December 2023 and divided them as group S (Calcutta position supine arm) and group P (classical prone arm) by simple randomization.
