A novel suture-free nephroplication with 4D-printed biodegradable bag for giant hydronephrosis: initial experience from hydromechanics and clinical application
This is a novel suture-free nephroplication for treating benign giant hydronephrosis, in which the 4D-printed biodegradable bag simplified and standardized surgical procedures significantly. Initial experience from clinical application is encouraging, suggesting that the nephrectomy for patients with benign giant hydronephrosis might be avoided. Future investigations on long-term outcomes of this new surgery are warranted.
