Editorial Comment
In the United States AUS surgery is done infrequently (6,000 per year) by few urologists (15%), probably because of its high complication rate. These authors analyzed the complications of high volume surgeons following reinsertion after previous erosion. (Source: The Journal of Urology)

We agree that AUS implantation is a “tricky risky” surgery with a high rate of complications in primary placement and this study looked at reinsertion after previous erosion. As this study shows even high volume surgeons at multiple sites have trouble with this patient group. (Source: The Journal of Urology)

Editorial Comment
When managing renal cysts, conventional teaching suggests that Bosniak 1/2 cysts can be observed while more complex Bosniak 3/4 lesions warrant surgical resection. The current study by Pruthi et al bolsters the argument that this management paradigm is overly simplistic and likely results in overtreatment of many clinically indolent lesions.

The discovery of the frequently encountered, sporadic, complex renal cyst presents a unique problem. It is important to remember that radiological characterization is dynamic and not a pathological diagnosis. While the Bosniak classification has stood the test of time, it is fraught with interobserver variability and a 50-50 likelihood of malignancy in Bosniak 3 lesions, and it has inadvertently resulted in overzealous repeat radiological imaging.

Editorial Comment
The authors present an interesting study on the long-term functional impact of acute kidney injury after partial nephrectomy. For this purpose the investigators selected a cohort of patients with a solitary kidney who underwent partial nephrectomy. The serum creatinine change following surgery was corrected for the amount of tissue removed, which greatly strengthens the results and conclusions obtained. (Source: The Journal of Urology)

Although technical refinements in hypospadias surgery have led to satisfactory functional and cosmetic results in distal hypospadias, surgical outcomes for proximal hypospadias continue to be challenging. Many patients still require multiple procedures throughout life and experience issues associated with a shorter phallus. While surgical outcomes have been the focus of most studies, few studies have been published on the psychological and sexual functional outcomes for adolescents with proximal hypospadias.
