Long-term discontinuations of botulinum toxin A intradetrusor injections for neurogenic detrusor overactivity: a multicenter study
Data on long-term outcomes of intradetrusor injections of botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) for neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) are lacking. The aim of the present manuscript was to assess the outcomes of intradetrusor injections of BTX-A for NDO after more than 10 years of follow-up. (Source: The Journal of Urology)

Post-Surgical Imaging Patterns in Pediatric Nephrolithiasis: Opportunities for Improvement
Imaging following surgical intervention for nephrolithiasis is important to define surgical success as well as to ensure no silent obstruction. We assessed nationwide post-surgical imaging patterns in children undergoing ureteroscopy (URS) and shock wave lithotripsy (SWL). (Source: The Journal of Urology)

Psychiatric Diagnoses and Other Factors Associated with Emergency Department Return within 30 Days of Ureteroscopy
Emergency department(ED) visits after ureteroscopy(URS) are costly and inconvenient. To better understand those at risk, we aim to identify patient demographic, medical and surgical factors associated with 30-day ED presentation following URS for urolithiasis with particular attention paid to those with a history of a psychiatric diagnosis(PD).

Clinical Utility of Prostate and Tumor Volume-Related Parameters Following Radical Prostatectomy for Localized Prostate Cancer
To evaluate whether prediction of biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy (RP) is enhanced by any of six parameters: prostate volume, total tumor volume (TV), high grade TV, ratio of high grade TV to TV, ratio of TV to prostate volume and/or ratio of high grade TV to prostate volume.
