Background: Nephrectomies and nephroureterectomies specimen with neoplastic diagnosis provide a great opportunity to examine the background kidney parenchyma. This will help in exploring any microscopic abnormality that may affect the functional capacity of the residual renal tissue and assess the possible need for nephrologist intervention in maximizing the function of the residual renal parenchyma.
Aim: Evaluation of this part of the kidney is overlooked in different centers around the world.
Method: A total of 124 specimens of nephrectomies and nephroureterectomies performed at King Abdulaziz University Hospital between January 2010 and December 2019 were reviewed. The microscopic findings in the nonneoplatic parenchyma were documented. Furthermore, the extent to which these findings were initially identified, investigated, and reported was measured.
Results: Hypertensive and diabetic nephropathy were among the most common findings in the diseased kidney. The nonneoplastic kidney was well sampled in 95% of the cases and mentioned in the report in 25% of the cases.
Conclusion: Although, the evaluation of this part of the kidney is essential, and of great help for the patient prognosis, and quality of kidney function, it is overlooked in different centers around the world, and the causes behind this requires further exploration.

Predictive Value of the Platelet-Lymphocyte Ratio for Intravesical Recurrence After Radical Nephroureterectomy: A Retrospective Study.
J Inflamm Res

Department of Urology Surgery, Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, Beijing, People's Republic of China.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of preoperative platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) on the prognosis of patients after radical nephrectomy (RNU).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed clinical data from 226 patients without a history of bladder cancer who underwent RNU at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University between January 2009 and December 2020. Patients were stratified into two groups (A low PLR group (n = 174) and a high PLR group (PLR ≥ 169.

Objective: Numerous studies have investigated predictors of intravesical recurrence following radical nephrectomy (RNU) in patients with upper urinary tract uroepithelial carcinoma (UTUC). In contrast, extravesical recurrence (EUR) has received less focus. Consequently, this study aims to evaluate the significant predictors of EUR after RNU through a systematic review of the literature and a meta-analysis.

Background: The standard of care for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) traditionally involved open nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff excision. Despite the adoption of transabdominal laparoscopic one-stage nephroureterectomy to mitigate this, the persistently high rate of postoperative intestinal obstruction remains a clinical challenge. This study introduces an innovative approach: a single-position, completely retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephroureterectomy coupled with a 75-45-degree positional change for bladder cuff resection in the treatment of UTUC.

Article Synopsis
- Urological surgeons often face challenges in treating patients with simultaneous double cancers of the urinary tract, with limited previous reports on effective treatment strategies.
- A case involving a 73-year-old man demonstrated successful management of contralateral renal cell carcinoma and ureteral carcinoma through laparoscopic and robot-assisted surgeries, along with targeted drug therapy.
- The approach resulted in the preservation of renal function and avoided the need for dialysis while maintaining anticancer benefits.
Chronic renal impairment predicts oncological outcomes in UTUC patients undergoing RNU.

Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates how pre-existing renal impairment affects outcomes for patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) who underwent radical nephroureterectomy (RNU), utilizing data from an international registry.
- - Out of 1393 patients analyzed, those with chronic kidney disease (CKD) had worse disease-free survival (DFS) compared to patients with normal renal function; CKD was linked to a higher likelihood of poor outcomes.
- - The study concludes that while pre-existing kidney issues don't impact overall survival (OS), they do correlate with worse DFS, highlighting the importance of renal health in treatment planning for UTUC patients.
