Purpose: Placement of a drain during robotic assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and robotic assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is standard practice for many urologists and can aid in assessment and management of complications such as urine leak, lymphocele, or bleeding. However, drain placement can cause discomfort and delay patient discharge, with questionable benefit. We aim to assess the correlation between drain placement with post operative complications.

Purpose Of Review: The role of radical cystectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection in muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) with clinically positive lymph nodes is debated. This review examines the role of surgery in treating patients with clinical N1 and more advanced nodal involvement (N2-N3) within a multimodal treatment approach.
Recent Findings: For clinical N1 disease, guidelines typically recommend neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery.

Article Synopsis
- - Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) are rare, making up about 1% of new cancer diagnoses in men, with incidence rates ranging from 7 to 10 per 100,000 in Europe and North America.
- - About 2-5% of men with TGCT have a risk of germ cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS) in the other testicle, which can develop into cancer in over 50% of cases.
- - The review explores whether routine biopsies of the healthy testicle should be done to check for GCNIS, emphasizing the need for treatment only if it improves patient outcomes without significantly affecting testicular function.
National Surgical Quality Improvement Program audit of contemporary perioperative care for radical cystectomy.

Objective: To examine the impact of increased compliance to contemporary perioperative care measures, as outlined by enhanced recover after surgery (ERAS) guidelines, among patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC).
Patients And Methods: From the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database we captured patients undergoing RC between 2019 and 2021. We identified five perioperative care measures: regional anaesthesia block, thromboembolism prophylaxis, ≤24 h perioperative antibiotic administration, absence of bowel preparation, and early oral diet.
