Performing renal mass biopsy prior to the day of ablation is safe, increases the rate of histologic diagnosis, and reduces the rate of ablation for benign tumors and small renal masses without a histologic diagnosis.
Cases:
We present 2 cases of traumatic testicular dislocation associated with a pelvic ring injury after a motorcycle collision. Case 1 describes bilateral testicular dislocation discovered intraoperatively. Urology was consulted, and the testicles were manually reduced under general anesthesia. Case 2 describes unilateral testicular dislocation discovered at the 1-month follow-up after pelvic ring fixation. Concern for infarction prompted urology to take the patient for surgical reduction. Both cases resolved uneventfully without genitourinary complaints at the follow-up.
Conclusions:
Testicular dislocation is rare but should be considered in the setting of pelvic injury due to a motorcycle collision. Detection warrants urgent urologic consultation.
Morbid obesity (BMI ≥ 40) is an independent predictor of developing SSIs following renal mass surgery. Morbid obesity is not predictive of risk for major complications, receipt of PBT, hospital readmission, perioperative death, or LOS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
