  • Smaldone and colleagues discuss the efforts that have been made to delineate the malignant potential of small renal masses (SRMs) in the preoperative setting and describe the existing data on the natural history of SRMs under observation. They also discuss the rationale for current active surveillance protocols.

  • The 2017 ASCO guidelines present six well-reasoned recommendations for the management of small renal masses. We expand these recommendations to contextualize the use of renal tumour biopsy, clarify when active surveillance could be more inclusive, and highlight nuances in surgical decision making for patients with anatomically complex tumours and a normal contralateral kidney.

  • Studies have reported an increase in the use of nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) since 2002, but quality of life (QOL) may be decreased in patients managed with partial versus radical nephrectomy. These reports have highlighted existing challenges in ensuring delivery of NSS in appropriate candidates while balancing risks to mortality, morbidity and QOL.

  • Contemporary treatment guidelines for the localized renal mass are largely driven by expert opinion and retrospective observational data. Three articles published in 2011 add important information to the existing body of literature, enabling improved objectification of risk and individualization of clinical tradeoff decisions for patients presenting with localized renal tumors.

  • Laparoscopy is important in the treatment of children undergoing renal surgery and for the management of nonpalpable testes. Despite this, laparoscopy is still underutilized in the treatment of urologic disorders in children, compared to adult patients. This Review discusses the most common urologic indications for laparoscopy in pediatric patients and highlights problems that are specific to this patient group.
