Randomized Controlled Trial
The Effects of Intensive Versus Routine Treatment in Patients with Acute Kidney Injury.
In patients with acute kidney injury (AKI), specialized treatment-initiated in response to an early-warning system- may be beneficial compared with routine treatment. ⋯ Specialized consultations supported by an early warning system for AKI seem to be beneficial for patients. The findings of this pilot trial should be verified in larger-scale randomized controlled trials.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Peritoneal Flap in Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy.
Lymphocele is the most common complication arising after pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) in the setting of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). The only data available until now on the utility of a peritoneal flap to prevent lymphocele were retrospectively acquired. ⋯ A peritoneal flap after RARP was not found to influence the rate of postoperative lymphocele, whether asymptomatic or requiring treatment.
