To systematically synthesize existing reported literature calculating the carbon footprint (CFP) of urological surgical practice and identify opportunities for improving the environmental impact of urology surgical practice. ⋯ In conclusion, although minimally invasive (including robotic approaches) and endoscopic surgeries offer significant opportunities to improve healthcare we do need to consider the environmental impact. However, there is a paucity of good-quality literature to guide urological surgical practice to reduce the CFP and improve sustainability.

Review Meta Analysis
Impact of sarcopenia on outcomes of bladder cancer undergoing radical cystectomy: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
To provide synthesized evidence on the association between sarcopenia and risk of mortality, recurrence and postoperative complications in patients with bladder cancer and undergoing radical cystectomy (RC). ⋯ Sarcopenia among patients with bladder cancer and managed using RC is associated with adverse survival outcomes and an increased risk of postoperative complications.

Review Meta Analysis Retracted Publication
The impact of sarcopenia on prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
To summarize recent findings on the association of low skeletal muscle mass and muscle quality with overall survival and recurrence-free survival in patients with pancreatic cancer. ⋯ Both low skeletal muscle mass and poor muscle quality are associated with poor long-term survival. Low skeletal muscle index, but not low skeletal muscle attenuation, are associated with poor recurrence-free survival.
