Dr. Benzi and collegues from Brazil presented in page 8 (3) a nice descritive review about the translational and anatomic aspects of testicular vascularization applied to Fowler-Stephens surgery for high undescended testis and concluded that the laparoscopic transection of the testicular vessels by dividing the spermatic vessels is safe in patients with high abdominal testis due to the great collateral vascular supply between testicular, vasal and cremasteric arteries; also, two-stage Fowler-Stephens orchiopexy appears to carry a higher rate of success than the single stage approach. This important paper is the cover in this edition.

Dr. Sager and collegues from Argentina e Brazil presented in page 31 (4) a important update about the management of neurogenic bladder dysfunction in children and concluded that clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) should be implemented during the first days of life, and antimuscarinic drugs should be indicated upon results of urodynamic studies. When the patient becomes refractory to first-line therapy, receptor-selective pharmacotherapy is available nowadays, which leads to a reduction in reconstructive procedures, such as augmentation cystoplasty.

Dr. Turkoglu and collegues from Turkey presented in page 70 (5) a nice study about the role of transperineal ultrasound in the evaluation of stress urinary incontinence cases and concluded that Dr. Sarhan and collegues from Egypt presented in page 78 (6) a important study about the bladder function in children with posterior urethral valves (PUVs): impact of antenatal versus postnatal diagnosis and concluded that compared to delayed intervention, primary ablation of PUVs during the early neonatal life possibly provides the optimum chance to have optimum renal function without impact on bladder function.

Dr. Dubeux and collegues from Brazil presented in page 110 (7) a nice sudy about the practical evaluation of the R.E.N.A.L. score system (RS) in 150 laparoscopic nephron sparing surgeries and concluded that RS system is a good way to predict adverse outcomes in nephron sparring surgery, especially in cases over 7. Further studies should focus on robotic approach and patient's characteristics other than the masses' aspects.

Dr. Humaidan and collegues from Denmark presented in page 131 (8) a nice study about the combined effect of lifestyle intervention and antioxidant therapy on sperm DNA fragmentation and seminal oxidative stress in IVF patients and concluded that a 3-month lifestyle intervention program combined with antioxidant therapy reduced DNA fragmentation index (DFI) in infertile men with elevated Sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) and a history of failed IVF/ICSI. A personalized lifestyle and antioxidant intervention could improve fertility of subfertile couples through a reduction in DFI, albeit controlled trials evaluating reproductive outcomes are needed before firm conclusions can be made.
