  • Most kidney and ureteral stones can be considered for treatment with a noninvasive or minimally invasive approach, with improved safety and morbidity compared with traditional open surgical approaches. However, improvements in laparoscopic surgical techniques mean that nearly any open surgery can be performed in a minimally invasive fashion. Here, Borofsky and Lingeman discuss the role of these techniques in modern stone surgery.

  • Prostate cancer screening in the PSA era is controversial and the most appropriate measures for diagnosis are widely debated. Vickers and colleagues recently suggested that using PSA velocity in screening offers little benefit compared with traditional markers; however, elimination of this test from practice or guidelines may be premature.

  • Despite large numbers of patients being affected by stones, a surprising lack of knowledge exists on the relevance of stone compositions and pathological features to the outcomes of patients with stones. Here authors describe the potential of new technologies such as high-resolution endoscopes, and micro-CT imaging to address this lack of knowledge.

  • Animal models that naturally and spontaneously form uroliths — including domestic dogs and cats, and a variety of other captive and wild species, such as otters, dolphins and ferrets — are an underused resource in the study of human stone disease and offer many potential opportunities for improving insight into stone pathogenesis. Improved collaboration between urologists, basic scientists and veterinarians is warranted to further our understanding of how stones form and to consider possible new preventive and therapeutic treatment options.
