BACKGROUND: Hydronephrosis developing at the ureteropelvic junction due to obstruction poses clinical challenges as it has the potential to cause renal damage.
In order to provide decision-making support for the auxiliary diagnosis and individualized treatment of calculous pyonephrosis, the study aims to analyze the clinical features of the condition, investigate its risk factors, and develop a prediction m...
INTRODUCTION: Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in pediatric urology is gaining increased popularity and credibility. However, the literature lacks standardization in reporting and there are areas for methodological improvement, ...
INTRODUCTION: Antenatal hydronephrosis (ANH) is one of the most common anomalies identified on prenatal ultrasound, found in up to 4.5% of all pregnancies. Children with ANH are surveilled with repeated renal ultrasound and when there is high suspici...

Duplex kidney and ureter is a congenital malformation. Few patients present with hydronephrosis caused by obstruction of the ureteropelvic junction of the duplex kidney, but lower kidney calculi caused by a duplex kidney abnormality is rare. This stu...
BACKGROUND: Complete intracorporal robotic ileal ureteric replacement is challenging. We aimed to present the surgical technique of robotic ileal ureter replacement with extracorporeal ileal segment preparation for long ureteral strictures.
The goal of this study was to assess the feasibility of three models for detecting hydronephrosis through ultrasound images using state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms. The diagnosis of hydronephrosis is challenging because of varying and non-spe...
INTRODUCTION: The aim of the study was to elucidate the predictive and prognostic value of serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) in patients with invasive bladder cancer (BC).
