Editorial Comment on "Urethral outcomes of the labia minora ring flap for metoidioplasty and phalloplasty"
The authors present their experience performing a standardized labia minora ring flap for urethral lengthening during metoidioplasty and phalloplasty. The overall volume (n=311) was impressive, and rates of urethral stricture were low (6% for metoidioplasty and 18% for phalloplasty). When considering alternative approaches to urethral lengthening, one should consider the complexity of the reconstruction (e.g. more dissection/mobilization/suture lines) with the goals of the procedure and risks of complications.

Long Term Renal Preservation and Complication Profile with Ileal Ureter Creation
To examine long-term ileal ureter replacement results at over 32 years at our institution. Long segment or proximal ureteral strictures pose a challenging reconstructive problem. Ureteroureterostomy, psoas hitch, boari flap, buccal ureteroplasty and autotransplantation are common reconstructive techniques. We show that ileal ureter remains a lasting option. (Source: Urology)

Editorial Comment on “Evaluating Urology Program Directors' Perception on Resident Application Parameters Following the Transition of USMLE Step 1 to Pass/Fail”
Urology residency program directors were surveyed by Rajendran and team to ascertain their perspectives on the USMLE Step 1 pass / fail transition and how this may change their emphasis on application parameters. The study found that the Step 1 pass / fail transition may shift the focus of program directors (who responded to the survey) more toward clerkship grades and medical school rank. An underlying explanation for this, may be the desire for some programs to utilize objective criteria (ie scores or rankings) to screen out applications and reduce the burden of application screening.

RE: Predictors of Early Continence after Single-Port Transvesical Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy
Radical prostatectomy has witnessed significant changes in terms of surgical approach and techniques. From the earliest open procedures to the innovative laparoscopy, and subsequently, robotic surgeries, each step has contributed to improving functional and oncological outcomes for millions of patients. More specifically, with the advent of newer and more precise robotic platforms, the ultimate goal is to be as minimally invasive as possible while maintaining optimal oncological results. In line with this philosophy, Intuitive launched the Da Vinci Single Port (SP) platform in 2018, featuring multiple innovations compared ...
