Background: One can assess cortical defects on the early images of [99mTc]Tc-MAG3 renography. We aimed to assess interobserver and intraobserver reproducibility for detecting renal cortical defects using [99mTc]Tc-MAG3 for adults and children; identify causes for poor inter- and intraobserver reproducibility and to assess the effect of the kidney to background ratio (KTBR) on reproducibility.
Methods: One hundred adult and 200 pediatric renograms were included.
Robotic Management of Complex Obstructive Megaureter Needing Ureteral Dismembering and/or Tapering in Children: A Single-Center Case Series.

Article Synopsis
- Robot-assisted extravesical ureteral reimplantation (REVUR) is presented as a beneficial alternative to traditional open surgery for children with complex obstructed megaureter (COM), which may require ureteral dismembering or tapering.
- In a study of 16 pediatric patients (mostly boys), REVUR was successfully performed without complications, with a median surgery time of around 220 minutes and a hospital stay of about 3.8 days.
- Post-surgery, all patients experienced symptom relief and improved ultrasound results, with only a small percentage facing minor complications, indicating REVUR's effectiveness and safety for treating obstructive ureteral issues.
Orthotopic renal autotransplantation: A step forward during postchemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for germ cell tumor.

We present the first and a rare case of orthotopic renal auto-transplantation in the management of postchemotherapy residual retroperitoneal mass encasing the left renal vessels but sparing the parenchyma in a 24-year-old patient with Stage IIIC nonseminomatous germ cell tumor after 4 cycles of chemotherapy. Immediate postoperative and 6 months' follow-up renograms confirmed the maintained glomerular filtration rate of the transplanted kidney with no residual disease. This case report shows the feasibility of renal autotransplantation in carefully selected patients as they are young and have long-term survival.

Article Synopsis
- * A total of 767 adult patients were examined, excluding those with ureteral stones or tumors, with data collected over a year at Peking University First Hospital.
- * Findings revealed that non-surgical factors like urinary malformations were the leading cause in over 60% of cases, while iatrogenic injuries from surgeries accounted for about 27% of the cases studied.
Precise Localization of Urine Leak After Renal Transplantation on Radionuclide Renography: Added Value of the Unclamped Drainage Tube and SPECT-CT.

Identifying and localizing the site of post-renal transplantation urine leaks is important for patient management and treatment planning. Renal scintigraphy is a proven modality for confirming urine leaks after complicated post-renal transplantation. Routinely, renogram studies are performed with a clamped extraperitoneal drain.
