In a national study, preoperative antibiotics were linked to fewer wound complications—but only in longer surgeries. With overall complication rates at 3%, the findings support a selective approach to antibiotic use in lower-risk cases #AUA. More 👉

A 12-year study confirms active surveillance is safe for small renal masses, yet it’s still underused. This editorial stresses tumor size—not growth rate—is the better predictor of risk, and overall survival differences reflect patient selection. More 👉

New 12-year study confirms: Active Surveillance is a safe, effective option for managing small kidney tumors #TheVoiceofUrology. ✅ No difference in cancer-specific survival vs. surgery.📉 Lower overall survival in AS group due to age/comorbidities.🔗

Extended pelvic lymph node dissection remains a valuable staging tool in radical prostatectomy. New findings suggest a potential role in reducing metastatic progression—but emphasize the need for individualized decision-making amid ongoing debate. More 👉

Extended pelvic lymph node dissection during radical prostatectomy may improve metastasis-free survival in patients with intermediate- and high-risk prostate cancer, according to a multicenter study of over 2,300 cases. #TheVoiceofUrology #AUA. More 👉
