Objectives: To develop a CT-based radiomics model and a combined model for preoperatively discriminating infiltrative renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and pyelocaliceal upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC), which invades the renal parenchyma.
Materials And Methods: Eighty patients (37 pathologically proven infiltrative RCCs and 43 pathologically proven pyelocaliceal UTUCs) were retrospectively enrolled and randomly divided into a training set (n = 56) and a testing set (n = 24) at a ratio of 7:3. Traditional CT imaging characteristics in the portal venous phase were collected by two radiologists (SPH and ZXL, who have 4 and 30 years of experience in abdominal radiology, respectively).

Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) is nowadays more and more indicated in pyelocaliceal stones. Holmium and Thulium lasers are the main lasers used. Fragmenting (basketing) or dusting, despite the new technology, still have residual stones (even having 250 microns).

Giant hydronephrosis owing to ureteropelvic junction obstruction is a rare condition characterized by the accumulation of more than 1000 ml of urine in the pyelocaliceal system. It could mimic the other benign cystic kidney disease or other causes of abdominal mass in radiologic images. We reported a 16-year-old female who presented with three months of abdominal pain and gradual abdominal mass ingrowth.

Background: During flexible ureteroscopy (FURS), surgeons may lose orientation due to intrarenal structural similarities and complex shape of the pyelocaliceal cavity. Decision-making required after initially misjudging stone size will also increase the operative time and risk of severe complications.
Methods: A intraoperative navigation system based on electromagnetic tracking (EMT) and simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) was proposed to track the tip of the ureteroscope and reconstruct a dense intrarenal three-dimensional (3D) map.

The upper urinary tract is the most common human system affected by congenital anomalies. Congenital anomalies of the kidneys and ureters comprise a wide spectrum of disorders ranging from simple variants with no clinical significance to complex anomalies that may lead to severe complications and end-stage renal disease. They may be classified as anomalies of renal form, which are subclassified as structural anomalies (eg, persistent fetal lobulation, hypertrophied column of Bertin, and dromedary hump) and fusion anomalies (eg, horseshoe kidney and pancake kidney); anomalies of renal position (eg, renal malrotation, simple renal ectopia, and crossed renal ectopia) and renal number (eg, renal agenesis and supernumerary kidney); and abnormalities in development of the urinary collecting system (eg, pyelocaliceal diverticulum, megacalycosis, ureteropelvic junction obstruction, duplex collecting system, megaureter, ectopic ureter, and ureterocele).
