Review
Defining the publication source of high-quality evidence in urology: an analysis of EvidenceUpdates.
To determine the publication sources of urology articles within EvidenceUpdates, a second-order peer review system of the medical literature designed to identify high-quality articles to support up-to-date and evidence-based clinical decisions. ⋯ A large number of high-quality, clinically relevant, and newsworthy peer-reviewed urology publications are published outside of traditional urology journals. This requires urologists to implement well-defined strategies to stay abreast of current best evidence.

Review Meta Analysis Comparative Study
'Button type' bipolar plasma vaporisation of the prostate compared with standard transurethral resection: a systematic review and meta-analysis of short-term outcome studies.
To evaluate the surgical morbidity and effectiveness in improving symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), comparing 'button-type' bipolar plasma vaporisation (BTPV) vs transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). ⋯ BTPV is an effective and safe treatment for BPH. The improvement of urinary symptoms and overall complications are comparable to conventional TURP. However, BTVP appears to be associated with a lower rate of major complications and duration of indwelling catheterisation.
