To report our step-by-step technique for robotic partial nephrectomy using intracorporeal renal hypothermia (RPNIRH) in a highly complex renal mass. The robotic technology has allowed surgeons to recreate the principles of open surgery in a minimally invasive approach (1). With increasing experience, larger deeply infiltrative tumors can be treated with this technique (2). In complex cases, when a long warm ischemia time is expected, intracorporeal renal hypothermia can be useful to prevent permanent renal function loss (3).

Robot-assisted Kidney Transplantation in Patients Undergoing Cystectomy with Urinary Diversion: First Cases Reported by the ERUS-RAKT Working Group.

The indication for kidney transplantation over a urinary diversion (UD) for patients with severe lower urinary tract dysfunction and end-stage renal disease is a controversial issue. Thanks to advances in robot-assisted kidney transplant (RAKT) programs, the boundaries are being pushed further. We present the first RAKT series reported for patients undergoing simple cystectomy and UD for benign bladder disease.

Renal cell carcinoma accounts for the sixth most common cancer in the United Kingdom. With the increasing application of cross-sectional imaging, the frequency of incidental renal masses has increased over time. Laparoscopic and robot-assisted partial nephrectomy has become the standard of care in the management of size and stage-appropriate renal masses.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines how different surgical methods for bladder cancer treatment affect kidney function in patients who undergo robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with either intracorporeal (ICUD) or extracorporeal (ECUD) urinary diversion.
- It involves data from 266 patients and assesses the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) over several years post-surgery, revealing notable differences in kidney function related to the surgical approach and other risk factors.
- Key findings indicate that 42.1% of patients experienced long-term kidney injuries, primarily linked to surgical method, complications like ureteroenteric strictures, and advanced cancer stage, emphasizing the need for careful preoperative evaluation to protect kidney health.
Durable left ventricular assist devices in pediatrics: impact of body size on outcomes and size limitations.

Despite the range of body sizes in children, few ventricular assist devices (VAD) exist to support pediatric patients with end-stage heart failure. Large registry data identified weight < 20 kg to be associated with higher rates of VAD-related stroke, compared to > 40 kg. Moreover, patients < 1 years of age experience the highest post-implant mortality, with 1-year survival improving in an age-dependent manner.

Introduction: Giant urinary bladder stones are rare phenomenon which is associated with chronic urinary infections, intravesical foreign bodies, urethral strictures, bladder diverticula etc. CASE REPORT: A 52-year-old man presented with complaints of severe dysuria, urgency, frequency, suprapubic pain, and pollakuria for the last ten years. Physical examination revealed a palpable suprapubic mass with no obvious flank masses.
