Quality of life in enuretic children
Conclusions: Enuresis has a great impact in quality of life of children. This impact is not related to the age or sex of the child. (Source: International Braz J Urol)

Editorial Comment: Luts-V: A new simplified score for assessing lower urinary tract symptoms in men
Conclusions: LUTS-V is a simple, self-administered tool with a significant discriminatory power to identify subjects with moderate to severe LUTS and may represent a useful instrument for the diagnosis and follow-up of men with urinary symptoms. (Source: International Braz J Urol)

Editorial Comment: Erectile function after partial penectomy for penile cancer
Conclusion: Partial penectomy due to penile cancer provides adequate local control of the disease, however, proper counselling is important especially in relation to ED consequences. Preservation of penile length yields to more optimal erectile recovery. (Source: International Braz J Urol)

Proteomic research and diagnosis in bladder cancer: state of the art review
Conclusion: Protein biomarkers have promising value in the diagnosis, surveillance and prognostic of BC. Urine is the most appropriate body fluid for biomarker research in BC due to its easiness of sampling, stability and enrichment of shed and secreted tumor-specific proteins. Pan els of biomarkers may exhibit higher sensitivity than single proteins in the diagnosis of BC at larger populations due to clinical and tumor heterogeneity. Prospective clinical trials are warranted to validate the relevance of proteomic data in the clinical management of BC. (Source: International Braz J Urol)

Semen quality from patients affected by seminomatous and non-seminomatous testicular tumor
ABSTRACT Testicular cancer is considered a rare disease affecting approximately 1% to 2% of the male population. This neoplasm has a cure rate of over 95%; as a result, a major concern is the future of fertility of carriers from this disease. There are several histological subtypes of testicular tumors; however, the Testicular Germ Cell Tumors (TGCTs), comprising both seminoma and non-seminoma tumors, are considered the main subtypes of testicular neoplasms. TGCT are characterized by being a solid tumor that mostly affects young men aged between 15 and 40 years old. While TGCT subtypes may have an invasive potential, semin...

Role of salvage lymph node dissection in patients previously treated for prostate cancer: systematic review
ABSTRACT Prostate cancer is the most common invasive cancer in men. Radical prostatectomy (RP) is a definitive treatment option, but biochemical recurrence can reach 40%. Salvage lymphadenectomy is a relatively recent approach to oligometasis and has been rapidly diffused primarily due to improvement in imaging diagnosis and results showing possibly promising therapy. A systematic literature review was performed in March 2020, according to the PRISMA statement. We excluded studies with patients with suspicion or confirmation of visceral and / or bone metastases. A total of 27 articles were included in the study. All studie...

Robotic parastomal hernia repair
Conclusions: The capability for complex sutures and dissection of intracorporeal structures makes the robotic platform a powerful ally (4) and we believe in its superiority over conventional laparoscopy. Although further studies are required, our initial series suggests that the robotic parastomal hernia repair is feasible and reproducible, with or without mesh placement and could be demonstrated its use for either elective or emergency situations.

REPLY TO THE AUTHORS: Re: Ureteroinguinal hernia with obstructive urolithiasis
We describe in this video how we approach patients that underwent vesicostomy and want it to be converted into a continent catheterizable reservoir. Material and methods: We perform an infra-umbilical longitudinal incision with a semicircular flap where the stoma will be placed (outside vesicostomy). After releasing the bladder, we proceed with usual steps of the Macedo-Pouch technique (2). We perform the reservoir from 35cm of ileum that constructs a catheterizable channel from the same bowel segment from a 3cm width flap from anterior and posterior wall of ileum in the mid part of it. The continence mechanism of the eff...

Mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy in a child with multiple urogenital anomalies and a solitary duplex kidney
Conclusion: Urolithiasis requires a thorough understanding of the underlying causes, as well as an effective and minimally invasive treatment. It is important for urologists to understand the complexity of the optimal stone management in pediatric patients in order to maximize treatment efficacy and minimize morbidity. We conclude that it is essential to treat urolithiasis in a single session in children with urogenital anomalies and accompanying congenital anomalies who have past surgical history.

Editorial Comment: Objective Assessment and Standard Setting for Basic Flexible Ureterorenoscopy Skills Among Urology Trainees Using Simulation-Based Methods
Conclusions: The functional results with modified Hautmann neobladder, incorporating short afferent limb in Wallace I uretero-enteric anastomosis, were efficient. This technique is an effective way to minimize potential uretero-enteric stricture, anastomotic leakage and incidence of vesicoureteral reflux. (Source: International Braz J Urol)
