Predictive factors for conservative treatment failure in paediatric blunt renal trauma
Blunt renal trauma is managed conservatively in children in the vast majority of cases. Grade IV renal injury is also generally managed non-operatively although occasionally intervention is needed for a urinoma that fails to settle. These authors retrospectively looked at...
Uncovering the fate of small residual fragments
The concept of ‘stone free’ remains an enigma. To some urologists this refers to complete removal of all visible fragments, to others its removal of all ‘clinically significant’ fragments (generally regarded as fragments >2mm), and to some it is absence...
LARP – three instrument techniques to reduce costs
The cost of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LARP) is high because of both the initial installation cost and, more importantly, high running costs. The main reason for the latter is the limited number of usage of the instruments; generally, each instrument...
Bladder urothelial neoplasms in children

This study retrospectively reviews the files of patients from three tertiary centres between...Renal calculi: the role of imaging in pregnancy

In the general population, non-contrast cross sectional imaging is recommended by...The Urology Foundation are looking for a new chair for the Science and Education Committee

Preoperative testosterone for hypospadias
Hypospadias affects around 1 in 400 boys. Glans width (GW) of <14mm has been shown to be an independent risk factor for urethroplasty complications following hypospadias repair. Testosterone (T) administration in prepubertal males increases both penile length and circumference. Its...
