Background Ureterovaginal fistulae usually follow iatrogenic injury to the ureter during pelvic surgery. This manifests as urine incontinence and results in serious psychosocial effects on women. Ureterovaginal fistulae unlike vesicovaginal fistulae present challenges in diagnosis and management especially in resource-constrained settings.

Bladder invasion by appendiceal cancer resulting in a vesico-appendiceal fistula is an uncommon occurrence. Both radical tumor removal and functional preservation of the bladder are desirable in the surgical treatment of this disease, and there are few reports on detailed surgical methods. Here, we describe a case of primary appendiceal mucinous carcinoma with bladder invasion treated with robotic laparoscopy and endoscopy cooperative surgery (RECS).

Purpose: While strategies aimed at preventing urological injuries complicating hysterectomy for gynaecological indications and placenta accreta surgery have been proposed, a comprehensive model for pregnancy-related hysterectomy (PRH) is lacking. The aim of this study was to investigate risk factors for urological complications of obstetric hysterectomy, and to propose strategies to improve the quality of care.
Methods: This retrospective study of patients undergoing PRH was conducted in an academic centre between 2009 and 2022.

Renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF) is a common pathway in chronic kidney disease (CKD) that ultimately leads to end-stage renal failure, worsening both glomerulosclerosis and interstitial fibrosis. Ten percent of the adult population in the world suffers from CKD, and as the ageing population continues to rise, it is increasingly regarded as a global threat-a silent epidemic. CKD has been discovered to be closely associated with both long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs), while the precise molecular processes behind this relationship are still unclear.

Urinary fistulae are abnormal connections between the urinary system and adjacent body parts, often resulting from factors such as infection, radiation, malignancy, protracted labor, gynecologic surgery, and gastrointestinal tract surgery. These fistulae can lead to persistent urinary incontinence, skin breakdown, social humiliation, psychosocial trauma, and severe infections. Current treatments include surgical repair, urinary diversion, and ureteral embolization, though these can have complications and are not always successful or feasible for all patients.
