AI Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the effectiveness and safety of a dual renal approach in treating missed double-J (DJ) stents complicated by complex kidney stones.
- Over five years, they analyzed 45 patients who had neglected DJ stents for over six months, with procedures performed using a combination of techniques, leading to a high stone-free rate of 93.3%.
- The results indicate that this simultaneous approach in the Galdakao-modified supine Valdivia position is a viable option, though 24.4% of patients experienced some perioperative complications.
Article Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the simultaneous antegrade and retrograde endourological approach in the Galdakao-modified supine Valdivia position (GMSVP) for the management of missed stent with complex renal stones.
Methods: Over 5 years, patients presented to our clinic or referred to our hospital with missed DJ stent and complex renal stones were included prospectively in our study. Inclusion criteria were patients with neglected DJ stents (more than 6 months) complicated with complex stone burden, in addition to stents that was Fragmented and required renal access for removal. Stent and stone removal were performed using a simultaneous antegrade and retrograde renal approach in the GMSVP. The success rate and any perioperative complications were recorded.
Results: 45 patients were available for evaluation. The average stone size was 3.9 ± 0.8 cm. Renal stones, ureteric stones, and bladder stones were present in 39, 24, and 10 patients, respectively .Two patients had fragmented DJs. Semirigid ureteroscopy with PCNL was used in 19 (42.2%) cases, ECIRS in 17 (37.7%) cases, Cystolitholapaxy and PCNL in 10 (22.2%) cases. Mean operative time was 70.8 ± 10.2 min, mean hospital stay was 2.3 ± 0.8 days. The stone-free rate was 93.3% after one procedure, two patients needed an auxiliary SWL for residual stones, postoperative complications were seen in 24.4% of patients.
Conclusion: Simultaneous antegrade and retrograde renal approach in the GMSVP is safe and effective in the management of missed DJ stents with a complex stone burden.

Purpose: To investigate and compare the feasibility, safety, and clinical outcomes of antegrade and retrograde laparoscopic bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy for penile cancer.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 32 patients with penile cancer admitted between 2018 and 2022. Among them, 17 patients underwent antegrade laparoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy (ALIL group) and 15 underwent retrograde laparoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy (RLIL group).

Background: Hypothermia and antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) strategies in open aortic arch surgery (AAS) have improved significantly. The significance of the gradual temperature rise to mild hypothermia is quite apparent, however, its safety remains a challenge. Therefore, our objective was to explore the safety and efficacy of mild hypothermic circulatory arrest (Mi-HCA, ≥30 ℃).

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate a new technique for treating dialysis access stenosis where blockages occur on both the anastomotic and central venous sides, using a single sheath for bidirectional percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA).
- - Involving 20 patients with 26 cases, the procedures were performed in an outpatient setting, utilizing a vertical puncture approach. Sheath inversion was successfully completed in all cases, which simplified the process by eliminating the need for additional sheath placements.
- - Results showed successful PTA in all cases without major complications, with data collected on vessel diameter, sheath inversion success, and primary patency rates up to one year, indicating the effectiveness and safety of this technique.

Unrecognized intraoperative cerebral ischemia during neonatal aortic arch reconstruction may precede neurologic injury. Electroencephalogram (EEG) alpha:delta ratio (A:D) changes predict cerebral ischemia; however, if A:D differences can identify ischemia during neonatal antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) and aortic arch reconstruction is unknown. We hypothesized that A:D changes would precede neurologic injury.

Objectives: Fluoroscopic guided procedures are a mainstay for interventional radiology (IR) procedures. Practice is needed for the novice to interpret fluoroscopic images and simultaneously perform the procedure hands-on as well as control the foot pedal to screen. We describe the development of a training simulation model which simulates the human kidney, ureter, and bladder.
