Open and purely laparoscopic partial nephrectomy or heminephrectomy has been the standard management for renal duplication anomalies for symptomatic children with non-functional renal moieties. While robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RALPN) has been established as a safe and feasible option for the management of renal duplex anomalies, there remains a paucity of data on this topic. The aim of this study is to comprehensively review all available outcomes data and update the use of emerging technologies in robotic surgery which continue to make RALPN a viable and advantageous option in the management of renal duplex anomalies.

Purpose: Frailty measures are critical for predicting outcomes in metastatic spine disease (MSD) patients. This study aimed to evaluate frailty measures throughout the disease process.
Methods: This retrospective analysis measured frailty in MSD patients at multiple time points using a modified Metastatic Spinal Tumor Frailty Index (MSTFI).

Purpose: In 5-10% of cases, renal cancer extends into the venous system, particularly the inferior vena cava (IVC), which worsens prognosis. This study aims to assess morbidity, mortality, and oncological outcomes of patients treated surgically for renal cancer with IVC extension over a 30-year period, in two experienced centers.
Materials And Methods: This bicentric, retrospective study analyzed patients treated between 1988 and 2020 for renal cancer involving the IVC.

Copeptin, a stable glycopeptide derived from the precursor of arginine vasopressin (AVP), has emerged as a valuable surrogate biomarker for AVP due to its stability and ease of measurement. This narrative review explores the physiological role of copeptin, its utility as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in different kidney diseases, and its clinical relevance in renal tubular disorders. The clinical application of copeptin as a diagnostic biomarker is best established in the differential diagnosis of polyuria-polydipsia syndrome (PPS), distinguishing nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) from central diabetes insipidus (CDI) and primary polydipsia (PP).

Purpose: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a common technique in the surgical management of renal lithiasis, but it also represents a significant workload for surgeons. Factors such as the patient's position and the type of lithotripter used influence the physical and mental load on the surgeon. The study aimed to identify stressors related to PCNL by comparing the physical and mental workload experienced by urologists during PCNL under different patient positions and using two lithotripters.

Liraglutide is a key therapeutic agent in managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), with benefits extending beyond glycemic control to address cardiovascular and renal comorbidities. As T2DM prevalence rises globally, the need for medications that provide comprehensive health benefits becomes increasingly important. Liraglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing cardiovascular events, especially among patients with high cardiovascular risk, such as those with a prior history of myocardial infarction or stroke.
