Urinary leak is one of the most significant complications after partial nephrectomy. In case of persistent urine leaks, placement of a ureteral stent is effective but not always sufficient. This study included 5 patients with persistent urinary leak after partial nephrectomy. The patients underwent flexible ureteroscopy wherein we identified the damaged calyx. Subsequently, we performed percutaneous puncture targeting the distal end of the endoscope at this calyx and installed a nephrostomy tube. Then, the endoscope was removed, and the ureter was drained with a stent. Ureteral stenting ensures elimination of urinary leak in most patients after partial nephrectomy. In patients with persistent urinary leak, retrograde endoscopic percutaneous drainage of the pelvicalyceal system is the method of choice because it allows for rapid and effective treatment of urinary fistulas.

To investigate the potential association between body mass index (BMI) and the clinicopathological features of patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). We retrospectively analyzed data from 2541 patients who underwent partial or radical nephrectomy for renal masses between 2013 and 2023 in a single institution. Patients were divided into normal-weight, overweight, and obese groups based on the Chinese BMI classification.

Purpose: Immune Checkpoints Inhibitors (ICI) have changed the therapeutic landscape of metastatic renal cell carcinoma first-line treatment with complete response (CR) at metastatic sites observed in 10 to 15% of cases. Delayed nephrectomy could be discussed for patients having a clinical benefit from immunotherapy-based treatment. However, it is unclear whether prior immunotherapy exposure adversely influences the complexity of surgery.

Objectives: The objectives of this study are to compare the accuracy of warm ischemia times (WITs) derived by a surgical artificial intelligence (AI) software to those documented in surgeon operative reports during partial nephrectomy procedures and to assess the potential of this technology in evaluating postoperative renal function.
Patients And Methods: A surgical AI software (Theator Inc., Palo Alto, CA) was used to capture and analyse videos of partial nephrectomies performed between October 2023 and April 2024.
