Urinary aquaporin  1 and perilipin 2: Can these novel markers accurately characterize small renal masses and help guide patient management?
ConclusionsAquaporin  1 and perilipin 2 possess high sensitivity and specificity for detecting clear cell and papillary renal cell carcinoma. Use of these markers might compliment renal mass biopsy in the characterization of small renal masses. (Source: International Journal of Urology)

Incidence and predictive factors of hypoglycemia after pheochromocytoma resection
ConclusionsPost ‐excisional hypoglycemia is a frequent complication of pheochromocytoma resection, irrespective of the tumor location, and might be common in patients with epinephrine‐predominant tumors. All patients undergoing resection of adrenal and extra‐adrenal pheochromocytoma require intensive monitori ng of serum glucose levels during and after surgery.

Buccal epithelium Expanded and Encapsulated in Scaffold ‐Hybrid Approach to Urethral Stricture (BEES‐HAUS) procedure: A novel cell therapy‐based pilot study
ConclusionsThis endoscopic ‐based Buccal epithelium Expanded and Encapsulated in Scaffold‐Hybrid Approach to Urethral Stricture (BEES‐HAUS) technique is a promising alternative for the open substitution buccal graft urethroplasty. It is possible to achieve the benefits of open substitution buccal urethroplasty with this endoscopic technique. (Source: International Journal of Urology)

Detection rate of clinically significant prostate cancer in magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography ‐fusion transperineal targeted biopsy for lesions with a prostate imaging reporting and data system version 2 score of 3–5
ConclusionsThe detection rate of clinically significant prostate cancer on magnetic resonance imaging/ultrasound rigid fusion targeted biopsy is very low in patients with prostate imaging reporting and data system category  3; therefore, patients with this classification should not undergo targeted biopsy. Prostate‐specific antigen density, prostate volume, locations of suspected cancer and history of biopsy should be considered to predict the detection rate of clinically significant prostate cancer with prostate i maging reporting and data system categories 4 and 5.

Warm ischemic time as a critical risk factor of graft failure from donors after cardiac death: A single ‐center experience over three decades in the Kidney Donor Profile Index/Kidney Donor Risk Index era in Japan
ConclusionsThe Kidney Donor Profile Index/Kidney Donor Risk Index is a good prognostic tool for determining the outcomes of donors after cardiac death grafts. However, the warm ischemic time should also be included in the allocation system for donors after cardiac death grafts. (Source: International Journal of Urology)

Transperitoneal versus retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy for large pheochromocytoma: Comparative outcomes
ConclusionsFor right side procedures, the retroperitoneal approach is feasible, safer and faster than the transperitoneal approach for large pheochromocytomas. Early transection of the feeding artery is beneficial for managing the tumor and reducing the risk of bleeding. (Source: International Journal of Urology)
