With the increasing number of laparoscopic nephrectomies, trauma to lymphatic channels has become an increasingly recognised complication. Early diagnosis and prompt management are key to avoid highly morbid sequelae including severe malnutrition and immunodeficiency. This case reviews the important complication of a retroperitoneal chylous collection following laparoscopic radical nephrectomy.

Background: Robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD) is used more commonly, but high-level evidence is still scarce. This meta-analysis aimed to compare the short-term outcomes between RPD and laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) using data collected from propensity score-matched (PSM) studies.

Materials And Methods: We searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science databases for PSM studies comparing RPD and LPD.

Background: Central conducting lymphatic anomaly (CCLA) is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by structural anomalies in the main collecting lymphatic vasculature. These anomalies result in chronic chylous leaks, causing issues such as congenital hydrothorax and potentially impairing the normal immune response. Recently, mutations in the MyoD family inhibitor domain-containing () gene have been identified as a cause of CCLA.

With the continuous development of robot-assisted technology, Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy (RALPN) has gradually become an optional method for the treatment of Hemorrhage secondary to angiomyolipoma (HSA). However, there are rare clinical reports of the primary RALPN for HSA. Therefore, this research aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of primary RALPN for HSA.
