To evaluate the impact of extended warm ischemia on incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) and ultimate functional recovery after partial nephrectomy (PN), incorporating rigorous control for loss of parenchymal mass, and embedded within comparison to cohorts of patients managed with hypothermia or limited warm ischemia.From 2007 to 2014, 277 patients managed with PN had appropriate studies to evaluate...
To evaluate the viability of glomeruli in the peritumor parenchyma of partial nephrectomy specimens removed for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and relate it to kidney function, to better understand the contribution of peritumor parenchyma to renal function.A retrospective analysis of 53 partial nephrectomies containing RCC was performed. Glomeruli within 0.25-cm increments from the tumor were quantified...
To evaluate and compare the success of amniotic membrane (AM) and buccal mucosa (BM) grafts and simultaneous use of both in penile augmentation urethroplasty in rabbits.A total of 12 New Zealand rabbits were divided into 3 groups by grafting style: Group 1 (AM), Group 2 (BM), and Group 3 (simultaneous use of BM and AM). In all animals, a standardized urethral defect was created. BM and AM were obtained...
To determine if transtomal rigid endoscopy damages the continence mechanism of continent cutaneous reservoirs. We report the largest and longest series to date from a single institution demonstrating the safety of transtomal rigid endoscopy.We conducted an institutional review board-approved retrospective review of a prospectively accrued database of all patients with urinary diversions that underwent...
To characterize the changes in urine composition associated with increasing severity of diabetes, we analyzed urine composition relative to glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and treatment strategy in a largely minority population.Patients treated for kidney stones between 2001 and 2013 at a single tertiary institution and had 24-hour urine collections were included in the study. Patients with type 1 diabetes...
To determine the incidence of adrenal incidentalomas (AIs) in a single-center series of living renal donors, to describe an evaluation algorithm for AIs in this patient population, and to compare the complication rates of hand-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (HALDN) with those of combined HALDN and adrenalectomy.We performed a single-center, retrospective study of consecutive living kidney...
To identify the circadian sensitive component of nocturia by comparing nocturia in patients who voluntarily choose a disrupted circadian rhythm, that is, shift workers, with those who maintain normal day-night cycles.Between 2011 and 2013, a total of 1741 untreated patients, 1376 nonshift workers and 365 shift workers, were compared for nocturia indices based on frequency volume charts (FVCs). General...
Despite advances in therapy for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), relapses continue to occur and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Individuals who relapse after stem cell transplantation (SCT) have an especially poor prognosis and typically require intensive systemic therapy to provide any chance of cure. The majority of relapses occur within 2 years following SCT;...
To investigate the urinary interferon gamma-induced protein 10 (IP-10), monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), cystatin-C, and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) levels in the management of children with prenatally diagnosed unilateral hydronephrosis.Twenty-seven children with antenatally diagnosed hydronephrosis were enrolled into the study. The controls...
We report a case of testicular torsion in an adolescent with polyorchidism, specifically quadorchidism. Sonographic and intraoperative images are provided to describe the presentation and management of this case, while the challenges and pitfalls with this clinical scenario are discussed.
To compare the results of traditional laparoscopy and a simple, single-docking robotic approach for retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND), nephroureterectomy, and bladder cuff excision.We evaluated 63 and 37 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic and robotic nephrouretectomy with RPLND, respectively, for upper-tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC).Our robotic approach was associated with...
