- A specific case showed a big cyst that caused problems for the other kidney because it was pressing against it.
- It's important for doctors to know about these unusual cysts and to check for kidney problems so they can protect the baby's kidneys until surgery can be done.
Article Abstract
Intraabdominal cystic lesions diagnosed during antenatal period are uncommon. They are found to have varying origins, with renal tract being the most common site. Rarely, a large unilateral cystic lesion of renal origin is caused by Pelviureteric junction obstruction, crossing the midline, leading to compression of the contralateral kidney. We present a case of a neonate who was diagnosed with a large abdominal cyst in the antenatal period. The cyst persisted and crossed the midline causing hydronephrosis on the contralateral side. This is an unusual presentation of a commonly occurring condition, usually such large cyst at birth origins from alimentary tract rather renal system. It is important to understand unusual presentations of intraabdominal lesions and the associated pathology. It is mandatory to rule out renal obstruction, if there is any decompression of renal function, it is mandatory to save renal function till the time of definitive surgery.

Objective: The aim of this study is to explore the risk profiles associated with Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) incidence in both the general population and diverse subpopulations.
Summary Background Data: AAA is a life-threatening arterial disease, and there is limited understanding of its etiological spectrum across the age, sex, and genetic risk subgroups, making early prevention efforts more complicated.
Methods: This study encompassed a sample size of 364399 participants from the UK.

The recurrence rate of inguinal hernia is 1-10%, most often in the inguinal region, and seldom in different locations. A 72-year-old man with a large soft swelling in the right ventrolateral abdominal region without swelling in the scrotum, operated on right inguinal hernia at pediatric age. Clinical findings revealed a giant right ventrolateral hernia and abdominal CT showed weakness of the abdominal wall with a 25 cm long hernial sac with an apex under the right costal arch and a base at the deep inguinal opening, that was diagnosed as a recurrent inguinal hernia with unusual presentation.

Objective: Recent advancements of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery have led to the development of transvaginal natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) [1,2]. Robot-assisted vNOTES has also been explored as a method providing accurate and fine surgical procedures with improved ergonomics, visualization, wristed instruments, elimination of the hand tremor [3,4]. The objective of this video is to demonstrate the technical and anatomical highlights of a vaginal assisted NOTES hysterectomy (VANH) using the da Vinci SP (SP).
