... It was associated with lesser analgesic requirements in the post-operative recovery period, a swift return to the daily routine, lower complications rate, and shorter hospital stays. [3][4][5][6][7] However, there are a few inherent challenges while adopting laparoscopic nephrectomy in a new unit. These include a significant learning curve required to adopt this modality. ...

... The RoboSling technique has been developed as a novel method to improve recovery of continence in men undergoing RARP. The RoboSling is a vascularised flap of peritoneum positioned as a sling underneath the urethrovesical junction and then hitched to the pubic bone with dissolvable sutures [12]. The placement of this sling is intended to improve postoperative continence by restoring pelvic/urethral support, maintaining a greater length of urethra exposed to increases in intra-abdominal pressure, and providing outlet resistance. ...

... Infrarenal and retrohepatic clamping of the IVC alongside renal inflow control allows the resection of the tumor and its thrombus on a bloodless surgical field without serious hemodynamic changes by venotomy. However, when the thrombus enters the intrathoracic part of the IVC, defined as level IV, complete control of the IVC harboring the thrombus entails a transthoracic approach and vascular control of renal and liver blood inflow [4,5]. 1 1 1 1 ...

... 69470000-69570000). Заболевание было диагностировано в возрасте 18 лет в связи с острым заболеванием мошонки, причиной которого была овуляция [3]. В нашем случае выявление заболевания стало следст-вием оперативного вмешательства по поводу разрыва овотестикулярной гонады на границе овариального и тестикулярного компонентов. ...

... The 5.2-kb region of overlap has a core gonadal enhancer for SOX9 implicated in both 46,XX and 46,XY DSD (Gonen et al., 2017). eSR-B was identified after four 46,XX SRY-negative sex reversal DSD patients presented with duplications in the upstream regulatory region of SOX9 known as RevSex (Benko et al., 2011;Hyon et al., 2015;Ohnesorg et al., 2017;Vetro et al., 2011;Xiao et al., 2013). eSR-B is the RevSex fragment showing overlap amongst these patients and with a highly conserved SOX9 binding motif (Gonen et al., 2017). ...

... However, PE exacts a considerable toll, as evidenced by a substantial rate of morbidity and mortality [2]. Prior reports indicate an overall complications rate ranging from 24 % to 97 %, coupled with a median hospitalization period of 19 days, with considerable variation spanning from 7 to 84 days [3]. ...

... However, increased serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels have also been described. Therefore, the validity of the drain fluid creatinine-to-serum creatinine ratio (DCSCR) as an initial indicator of urinary leak has been proposed by several authors, with a drain creatinine level just 18% higher than the serum creatinine level can potentially signify a urine leak, although there is no strong evidence in literature to support specific cut-off values or indices [141,142]. Because the diagnosis is often postoperative, other biological markers may be altered showing increased parameters of inflammation and impaired renal function, like what occurs in septic conditions [143,144]. ...

... Nevertheless, it should be noted that most living donors with multiple renal arteries in the reported studies were donors with a maximum of three renal arteries. 47,92,93,[95][96][97][98][99][111][112][113]115,116,[118][119][120][121][122][123]126,128,129,131 Only a minority of the donors with multiple renal arteries had four or more renal arteries. 92,93,95,98,112,113,119,[121][122][123] Moreover, as no literature is available on donors with more than four renal arteries, we cannot draw any definitive conclusions in this regard. ...

... The standard approach to the retroperitoneum is via an oblique incision in the iliac fossa in this unit. End-to-side vascular anastomoses were performed for the renal artery and vein, and a m o d ifi e d L i c h -G r e g o i r t e c h n i q u e w a s u s e d fo r t h e ureterocystostomy (26). Surgical drains were placed in the retroperitoneum at the discretion of the surgeon and were removed when the drain volume was <50 ml in 24 h. ...

... Nevertheless, urinary diversion, while commonplace, is intricately associated with a notably elevated incidence of urological morbidity, ranging from 9 % to 24 %. This encompasses an array of complications such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), urinary sepsis, hydronephrosis, urine leak, anastomotic stricture, and the imperative need for kidney drainage, collectively underscoring the heightened risk of urological complications in the context of PE [5,6]. ...
