TL;DR: The hospital admission rates for complications following transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy have increased dramatically during the last 10 years primarily due to an increasing rate of infection related complications.

TL;DR: An update of the Gleason grading system has been provided in this article, which has evolved significantly since its initial description, using the MEDLINE® database using a search performed using MEDLINE.

TL;DR: This systematic meta-analysis identified increasing frequency of urinary tract infection, increasing grade of vesicoureteral reflux and presence of bladder and bowel dysfunction as unique risk factors for renal cortical scarring.

TL;DR: The compelling efficacy of percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation demonstrated in this trial is consistent with other recently published reports and supports the use of peripheral neuromodulation therapy for overactive bladder.

TL;DR: Postoperative renal insufficiency was a significant independent predictor of overall and cardiovascular specific survival, and efforts should be made to limit the renal function loss associated with surgery for localized renal masses.

TL;DR: Multimodal magnetic resonance imaging is an effective technique to localize prostate cancer and is an accurate method to detect clinically significant prostate cancer in men with repeat negative biopsies and increased prostate specific antigen.

TL;DR: A dose of 100 U may be the dose that appropriately balances the symptom benefits with the post-void residual urine volume related safety profile in the management of idiopathic overactive bladder and urinary urgency incontinence.

TL;DR: The 10-year outcomes of laparoscopic nephrectomy and open partial neph rectomy are excellent in carefully selected patients with limited risk of recurrence for cT1 renal cortical tumors.

TL;DR: Histological subtype is an independent predictor of progression to distant metastasis and cancer specific death in patients with renal cell carcinoma.

TL;DR: Bone metastasis and skeletal related events predict poor prognosis in men with prostate cancer.

TL;DR: Centrality index scoring provides a clinically useful measure of tumor centrality and may allow improved clinical and radiological assessment of kidney tumors, and improved reporting of quantitative tumor site.

TL;DR: Enuresis in a child older than 5 years is not a trivial condition, and needs proper evaluation and treatment, and requires time but usually does not demand costly or invasive procedures.

TL;DR: Radical cystectomy and ileal neobladder formation represent a major surgery with potential relevant early complications even in the most experienced hands and the rate of severe and lethal complications is acceptably low.

TL;DR: Hexaminolevulinate fluorescence cystoscopy significantly improves the detection of Ta and T1 lesions and significantly reduces the rate of tumor recurrence at 9 months.

TL;DR: Nocturia is most prevalent in older people but it also affects a significant proportion of younger individuals, and Clinicians should be alert to the possibility that nocturia may impact the sleep, quality of life and overall health of their patients.

TL;DR: Results showed that age at prostate cancer initiation and clinical characteristics did not differ by race in the autopsy series, and the concept that prostate cancer grows more rapidly in black than in white men and/or earlier transformation from latent to aggressive prostate cancer occurs in black compared with white men is supported.

TL;DR: The surgical management of stress urinary incontinence with or without combined prolapse treatment continues to evolve and new technologies have emerged which have impacted surgical treatment algorithms.

TL;DR: There was a high rate of recurrent febrile urinary tract infection in girls older than 1 year with dilating vesicoureteral reflux at study entry but not in boys, and antibiotic prophylaxis and endoscopic treatment decreased the infection rate.

TL;DR: There was a strong association between recurrent febrile UTIs and new renal damage in girls and most common in the control surveillance group, and a significantly higher rate in girls than in boys.

TL;DR: Despite increasing tumor complexity in contemporary practice 3 key outcomes of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy improved significantly, including ischemia time, complications and renal function.

TL;DR: Length of urethral stricture, prior urethroplasty and failed endoscopic therapy are predictive of failure after ure Throplasty, and smoking and diabetes mellitus also may predict failure potentially secondary to microvascular damage.

TL;DR: Urethrotomy should be considered a temporizing measure until definitive curative reconstruction can be planned, and most of the patients in this series will be expected to experience failure with longer followup and the expected long-term success rate from any (1 through 5) ureth rotations is 0%.

TL;DR: Gender and age adjusted Charlson comorbidity index were independent predictors providing preoperative information identifying patients more likely to require readmission or possibly to benefit from a longer initial hospital stay, as well as morbidity and mortality rates.

TL;DR: Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation can be considered an effective treatment for detrusor overactivity incontinence with 71% of patients considered responders, while none of those treated with placebo was considered a responder.

TL;DR: Preoperative evaluation for hydronephrosis, ureteroscopic grade and cytology can identify patients at risk for advanced upper tract urothelial carcinoma and may impact surgery choice and extent as well as the need for perioperative chemotherapy regimens.

TL;DR: Elderly individuals with nocturia were at greater risk for fracture and death than those withoutNocturia during a 5-year observation period and the mortality rate in individuals withnocturia was significantly higher than in those without Nocturia.

TL;DR: An age and gender relationship of stone formation and composition is identified and regional variations are common and underline the influence of living habits, diet and standard of medical care on urinary stone formation.

TL;DR: The durability of response demonstrates the effectiveness of percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation as a viable, long-term therapy for overactive bladder.

TL;DR: It is suggested that varicocelectomy should be considered in infertile men with palpable varicocele, abnormal semen analysis and no major female factors.

TL;DR: Irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome are more prevalent in patients with interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome than in asymptomatic control subjects, and result in significant impact.
