TL;DR: Age, height, weight and body mass index could not predict the likelihood of successful ureteroscopic access to the upper tract, and placement of a Ureteral stent if upper tract access is unsuccessful decreases the number of procedures while maintaining a low complication rate.

TL;DR: When diagnosed accurately, intermittent spermatic cord torsion can be treated with elective testicular fixation with an excellent outcome and urologists should be proactive in recommending elective scrotal exploration when intermittent specific torsal pain is a likely diagnosis.

TL;DR: Early Ureteral stent placement may be considered for pediatric patients with blunt renal trauma who demonstrate absence of contrast material in the ipsilateral ureter, since clinical indications for stent placements will likely develop.
