The aim of this study was to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the Patient-Reported Outcome Measure questionnaire for patients undergoing urethroplasty (USS-PROM) into Brazilian Portuguese using validated psychometric criteria.
Materials And Methods: The process involved translating and culturally adapting the original USS-PROM into Brazilian Portuguese (USS-PROMbr), synthesizing, back-translating, cross-culturally adapting, and analyzing the pre-final version with experts from our committee.

Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the impact of a standardized laparoscopic simulation training program on pyeloplasty outcomes during and after its implementation amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
- A total of 151 patients treated at a Brazilian hospital were analyzed, showing notable improvements in conversion rates to open surgery, surgical time, and hospital stay after the training.
- Even with a significant drop in surgical volume during the pandemic, the positive results from the simulation training were consistently maintained, indicating its effectiveness in enhancing surgical performance.
During adolescence, individuals make judgements on the legitimacy of authorities to make and enforce rules and they differentiate between various types of rules.

The strongest predictors of compliance were adolescents' beliefs that parents were legitimate authorities.
