Analysis of outcomes of robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty in children from a tertiary pediatric center in South India.
Front Pediatr
June 2024
Department of Pediatric Urology, Apollo Childen's Hospital, Chennai, India.
Aim: This study aims to analyze the outcomes of robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) in children with pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO) over a 10-year period at a tertiary care center in South India.
Methods: This study provides a detailed analysis of prospectively acquired data from 2013 to 2023 of all children who underwent RALP at our institution. Pre- and post-operative renal ultrasound and isotope renography were used to assess outcomes.
Noninvasive measurement of tracer extraction efficiency in tissue, illustrated with Tc-99m-MAG3.

June 2024
Department of Nuclear Medicine, King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK.
Objective: The aim of this study is to develop a noninvasive technique for measuring tissue tracer extraction efficiency ( E ) and illustrate it for Tc-99m-mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) and kidney.
Methods: E was measured in 10 patients with normal MAG3 renography. E is the ratio of tissue clearance-to-blood flow ( Ki/F ).
Tc-DTPA Renal Dynamic Imaging for Evaluating the Function of Duplex Kidneys in Adult Patients.

December 2023
Department of Nuclear Medicine, First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University, 030000 Taiyuan, Shanxi, China.
Background: This study aimed to explore technetium-99m-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Tc-DTPA) renal dynamic imaging to evaluate duplex kidney function in adult patients.
Subjects And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 25 patients with duplex kidneys who underwent Tc-DTPA renal dynamic imaging between June 2011 and March 2023 at our hospital. Patients in the duplex kidney group (n = 25) were divided into renogram normal (n = 9) and abnormal (n = 16) groups according to the imaging data.
A Simple Kit for the Good-Manufacturing-Practice Production of [Ga]Ga-EDTA.

August 2023
Department of Nuclear Medicine, Gødstrup Hospital, 7400 Herning, Denmark.
Glomerular filtration rates for individual kidneys can be measured semi-quantitatively by a gamma camera using [Tc]Tc-DTPA, with limited diagnostic accuracy. A more precise measurement can be performed on a PET/CT scanner using the radiotracer [Ga]Ga-EDTA, which has been validated in animal studies. The purpose of this study was to develop an easy kit-based synthesis of [Ga]Ga-EDTA that is compliant with good manufacturing practice (GMP) and applicable for human use.

Cheeloo College of Medicine, Shandong University, Department of Urology, China Rehabilitation Research Center, Beijing, China.
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of augmentation uretero-enterocystoplasty (AUEC), a modified surgical procedure that focuses the mobilization of the ureter and the necessity of ureteroplasty in a series of neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) patients with mechanical upper urinary tract obstruction (mUUTO).
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of NLUTD patients who underwent an AUEC from 2005 to 2022. mUUTO was diagnosed by preoperative bladder drainage, magnetic resonance urography (MRU), and isotope renography.
