Comparative Analysis of Guideline Adherence between Germany and Austria by Using the Example of Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infections
Conclusions: We suggest modifying guideline designs by including abstracts and flowcharts appropriate for daily use and separate patient instructions to improve guideline compliance. Furthermore, guideline authors should communicate updates in a timely and accessible manner. Presentations at scientific congresses increase visibility and enhance the dialogue with colleagues.Urol Int (Source: Urologia Internationalis)

Upper Tract Urinary Cancer Recurrence after Radical Cystectomy: Risk Assessment of Intraoperative Frozen Section
Conclusion: FSA is a sensitive and specific method to identify PUM. UTUCR occurs significantly more often in patients with recurrent, multifocal NMIBC at the time of RC. Patients can be risk stratified for UTUCR. In case of NMIBC-PUM, surgeons can safely opt for a kidney preserving strategy.Urol Int (Source: Urologia Internationalis)

Clinical Implication of Borderline CT-Morphological Metastatic Spread in Bladder Cancer: What You See Is Not Always What You Got
Conclusion: pRC can be performed with acceptable perioperative morbidity and mortality. Pulmonary lesions seem to have a risk of false-positive results and should be biopsied in all uncertain cases. Localization of lung metastases together with preoperative CRP- and Hb levels seem to play a prognostic role.Urol Int (Source: Urologia Internationalis)

The Influence of Endogenous Testosterone Density on Unfavorable Disease and Tumor Load at Final Pathology in Intermediate-Risk Prostate Cancer: Results in 338 Patients Treated with Radical Prostatectomy and Extended Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection
Conclusions: As ETD measurements incremented, the risk of large tumors extending beyond the prostate increased accordingly, and patients with lower ET levels were more likely to occult UD. The influence of ETD on PCa biology should be addressed by prospective studies.Urol Int (Source: Urologia Internationalis)

Ultrasound-Guided Renal Mass Biopsy and Its Clinical Utility: A Single-Centre Experience
Conclusions: RMB result affects treatment decisions. Ultrasound-guided RMB is a safe procedure, and performing biopsies of tumours ≤40 mm may reduce the number of unnecessary interventions. Non-diagnostic RMBs should be repeated or treated as malignant.Urol Int (Source: Urologia Internationalis)

Retrospective Observational Study of Risk Factors for Febrile Infectious Complications after Urodynamic Studies in Patients with Suspected Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Disturbance
Conclusions: The significant risk factors for post-UDS UTI were AIS ≧ C, management method of urination, and age in the suspected NLUTD patient context. This study was originally started with the goal of reducing unnecessary antibiotics and may contribute to the proper use of antibiotics based on antimicrobial stewardship.Urol Int (Source: Urologia Internationalis)

Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: A Systematic Review
Conclusion: Our review suggested that the majority of the patients of renal calculus with renal insufficiency are benefitted with PCNL in improving or preserving the renal function. But the post-operative complications are more in CKD and increases as the severity of renal insufficiency increases.Urol Int (Source: Urologia Internationalis)
