Objectives: The application of minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques in gynecologic surgery gained popularity due to quicker recovery, shorter hospital stays as well as lower risk of complications. Ureteric injuries at laparoscopic hysterectomies are incidental and occur in less than 1% of cases. They can be identified intra-operatively but most of them are undetected. In most cases, the symptoms of an injury are non-specifically manifested after several days or even months following surgery.
Material And Methods: We described different clinical symptoms suggesting ureteric injury based on 3 laparoscopic hysterectomies. Methods of diagnosis and repair techniques were also presented.
Conclusions: All complications following laparoscopic hysterectomy should be analyzed meticulously and ureteral injury must be considered as one of the possible causes of abnormal patient recovery.

Background: Ureteral thermal injury (UTI) occurs when the ureter is exposed to high temperatures during surgical procedures, leading to tissue damage and ureteral stricture. Dexamethasone (DEX) has been widely used to treat a variety of diseases for its anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant effects. However, its role in treating UTI remains unclear.

The seminal vesicles are an accessory structure of the male reproductive system. The most common pathology associated with the seminal vesicles is infective, and patients may present with haematospermia, pain, and subfertility. Patients presenting with unilateral ureteric obstruction secondary to seminal vesiculitis are rare, and there are very few reported cases in the literature.

Kidney fibrosis is a hallmark of chronic kidney diseases. Evidence shows that genetic variability and complement component 3 (C3) might influence tubulointerstitial fibrosis. Still, the role of renal C3 production in the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and genetically determined fibrosis progression remains undiscovered.

Traumatic ureteral injury is a rare and challenging condition of the urinary system. To summarize the clinical features of patients with traumatic ureteral injury and examine the literature on traumatic ureteral injuries from the past 20 years. The clinical data of 30 patients with traumatic ureteral injury in Peking University First Hospital, Beijing Jiangong Hospital, as well as Emergency General Hospital from August 2015 to August 2023 were retrospectively collected.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a prevalent global health issue, primarily caused by glomerular dysfunction, diabetes, endovascular disorders, hypertensive nephrosclerosis, and other vascular diseases. Despite the increase in available organ sources, significant challenges remain in securing organ compatibility, prompting extensive research into creating a bio-artificial kidney free from immune rejection. In this study, a bio-engineered kidney was established using a stem cell chemoattractant within a bioreactor system; rBMSCs were used to recellularize the decellularized kidney scaffold coated with SDF-1α/AKI-CKD cytokine juice under mimic-hypoxic conditions as these chemokines and cytokines are crucial for the cell migration.
