Hypospadias as a Chronic Illness
Once a surgical procedure is completed, the duration of followup is determined by the risk of complications. After a routine circumcision one has a single followup and, if all is well, is discharged home. In contrast, penile reconstruction for hypospadias repair has a greater risk of complication development. The general consensus is that the complication rate for distal hypospadias is close to 10%. However, more recent studies have shown that with extended followup proximal repairs have a much more g rim outcome. (Source: The Journal of Urology)

Editorial Comment
In this retrospective analysis the authors explored the correlation between pretreatment prostate MRI suspicion scores and post-prostatectomy histological and genotypic risk stratification. The outcomes suggest an association between high risk preoperative MRI (PIRADS 5) and an increased genotype and expression based risk profile as quantified by up-regulation of the molecular pathways associated with tumor progression and castrate resistance. The novelty of the findings is in part captured in figure 4, which demonstrates increased pathway activation and an association with an increasing PIRADS score. (Source: The Journal of Urology)

Editorial Comment
This article indicates that a subsequent noncystine composition develops in 30% of patients, highlighting the importance of repeat analysis with recurrences. This is an interesting finding and brings up points of consideration for the management of cystinuria. (Source: The Journal of Urology)

Outpatient robotic unilateral extravesical ureteral reimplantation in the pediatric population: short-term assessment of safety
Robotic extravesical ureteral reimplantation has been established as a viable option for surgical management of vesicoureteral reflux. Typically, this procedure is associated with a hospital stay for routine postoperative care. The aim of the study was to assess the short-term safety of robotic unilateral extravesical ureteral reimplantation as a scheduled outpatient procedure in a pediatric population.

Histologic Validation of 11Carbon-Acetate Positron Emission Tomography/Computer Tomography in Detecting Lymph Node Metastases in Prostate Cancer
Conventional imaging cannot definitively detect nodal metastases from prostate cancer (PCa). We histologically validated 11-carbon-Acetate (11C-Acetate) PET/CT for identifying nodal metastases, examining PCa factors that influence detection rates. (Source: The Journal of Urology)

A Prospective Program to Reduce the Clinical Incidence of Clostridium Difficile Colitis Infection after Cystectomy
The development of Clostridium difficile infection after cystectomy is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We implemented a prospective screening program to identify asymptomatic carriers of Clostridium difficile and assessed its impact on clinical Clostridium difficile infection rates compared to historical matched controls.

Editorial Comment
This is an informative study based on a multi-institutional cross-sectional study of stone formers. It summarizes their health related quality of life as measured by the well-defined WisCOL survey instrument. It included 1,511 patients with some on potassium citrate and/or thiazide diuretics. It provides a good snapshot of these patients at the time of the survey. (Source: The Journal of Urology)
