The positive human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibody present in kidney transplant recipients affects both surgery and rejection, and also affects the long-term survival of the transplanted kidney. During the third kidney transplant, bilateral axillary fossa and iliac vessel were destroyed. It was very difficult for selection or separation of surgical vessels because the adhesions and scar formation was easy to damage blood vessels and intestinal tubes. A case with strong positive HLA antibody undergoing the third kidney transplant in our hospital was successfully solved the problems, such as less transplant space and vascular scar adhesion. Rituximab, rabbit anti-human thymocyte immunoglobulin, and methylprednisolone treated-antibodies were used in the operation. The immune function test was used to develop individualized treatment after the operation. The postoperative creatinine and urine volume tended to be stable, and the 16-month follow-up renal function was good.

Laparoscopic management of renal cystic disease is a safe and effective method for treating those cysts that have indications for surgical intervention. Long term results of treatment of simple cysts, peripelvic cysts, indeterminate cysts and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease are so good. The approach - transperitoneal or retroperitoneal - depend on the disease, anatomic location and the preference and expertise of surgeons

To investigate the feasibility and clinical application of intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI) technique in non-invasive assessment for early chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN).
 Methods: A total of 23 renal allograft recipients were recruited from inpatients or outpatients according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria for this study. Recipients were divided into a CAN group (n=12, pathologically confirmed early CAN patients) and a control group (n=11, volunteers with long-term stable renal function). Abdominal MRI was performed on patients of renal allograft with a multi-b value DWI sequence. IVIM2b-new software was used for obtaining the IVIM-DWI quantitative parameter pseudo-color maps and the values of IVIM-DWI of renal parenchyma, including the pure diffusion coefficient (D), perfusion correlation diffusion coefficient (D*) and perfusion fraction (f). The IVIM quantitative parameters between the two groups were compared using independent sample t test. ROC analysis was performed when the differences in parameter were statistically significant and the area under curve (AUC) was calculated.
 Results: In IVIM bi-exponential analysis, The D value was significantly decreased in the CAN group compared with the control group (P<0.05), whereas there are no significantly difference in value of D* and f between the two groups (all P>0.05). The AUC of D value for distinguishing the early CAN from the control were 0.784 with sensitivity and specificity at 58.3% and 90.9%, respectively.
 Conclusion: The IVIM-DWI quantitative parameter D can non-invasively assess early CAN to some extent. IVIM-DWI technique is expected to be an effective, easy and non-invasive method to detect early CAN, and assist early diagnose as well as dynamically monitor CAN.

The authors describe a case in which a tailgut cyst occurred at an unusual location in a 22-year-old woman referred for abdominal discomfort and urinary frequency. The left abdomen contained a palpable mass, found at imaging studies to be a homogeneous, unilocular and cystic, and anterior to the left kidney. After surgical excision, it was shown to be a tailgut cyst.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the operative technique and the clinical value of retroperitoneal laparoscopic enucleation of the renal hamartoma. METHODS: Twenty-five patients of renal hamartoma received retroperitoneal laparoscopic enucleation. The patients were placed in lateral decubitus position. All laparoscopic surgical procedures were performed retroperitoneally using 3 port-sites. The tumor was exposed and resected along the edge, and the tumor clipped out with a lithotomy forceps. The renal hamartoma was confirmed through a pathological diagnosis during the operation. The resection surface was sutured with fibrin and absorbable hemostatic gauze. RESULTS: The operations were finished successfully in all patients. The diameter of tumors ranged from 1.8 cm x 2.0 cm to 4.5 cm x 4.9 cm. The operative time was 50 - 90 (mean=70) min. The blood loss was 30 - 80 (mean=55) mL. The hospital stay was 7 - 9 (mean=8) days. CONCLUSION Retroperitoneal laparoscopic enucleation of the renal hamartoma is safe and effective, whose advantages include minimal invasive, less blood loss, short hospital stay, and rapid convalescence.

We report a case of surgically treated abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in a patient having crossed ectopia with fusion anomaly of the kidney. One artery from the abdominal aorta above the aneurysm supplies the right kidney while three renal arteries (two from the aneurysm itself and one from the left common iliac artery) supply the crossed ectopic kidney. Preoperative imaging to define the arterial and collecting systems along with a detailed planning of the operation is essential to prevent ischemic renal injury as well as ureteral injury during AAA repair.
