Enhanced Recovery after Surgery Protocols in Pediatric Urology: How Are we Doing, and What Should we be Doing?
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have been used for adult colorectal surgery since the late 1990s, with significant evidence supporting improved patient outcomes including reduced hospital stay, lower complication rates, quicker return of bowel function and increased patient satisfaction.1 Since many of the changes have improved quality and outcomes for the patient, and decreased overall hospital costs, the ERAS principles have gained popularity in adult urological cancer surgery.

Waiting for Godot: What to Do When a Patient with a Sacral Neuromodulation Device Needs Magnetic Resonance Imaging
In this issue of The Journal Guzman-Negron et al (page 0000) address an important clinical concern and represents a nice movement from bench to in vivo study.1 The authors previously reported insignificant heating of a full InterStim™ system and a 5 cm lead in a phantom model and significant heating in the presence of an intact lead withou t a IPG (implantable pulse generator).2 This led to a prospective study of a group of patients using the same MRI machine, which showed no significant acute patient harm, clinical deterioration or damage to the implanted devices.

Editorial Comment
The use of MRI defined targets to increase the accuracy of prostate biopsy is of great interest. One of the challenges in the adoption of a MRI guided pathway is identification of the MRI target during a transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy procedure. Hale et al report an assessment of the relative accuracy of software assistance for this using rigid or elastic registration with novice and experienced operators. (Source: The Journal of Urology)

Editorial Comment
In this ex vivo study Hale et al explored MRI/US FBx characteristics that are technical (rigid and elastic registration) and human (experienced and novice users). They measured RE, defined as the distance between fiducial markers reproducing a lesion at MRI and at US. (Source: The Journal of Urology)
