Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, urinary tract diseases, such as renal or ureteral stones, as well as tumors or polyps in the upper urinary tract, can be treated in a conservative fashion. The prevalence of urolithiasis is increasing worldwide, partly due to dietary modifications such as increases in the consumption of sodium, animal proteins, and refined sugar and decreases in the intake of fiber. On the other hand, bladder cancer and upper tract urinary carcinoma (UTUC) are two diseases that can be treated in a conservative way (i.e., with laser ablation) depending on several factors.
The arrival of minimal invasive treatments and new technologies is focused on reducing patient morbidity and performing more efficient procedures. Recent innovations include new single-use flexible endoscopes and laser technologies.
Following on from the success of the Special Issue titled “Medical and Surgical Management of Urinary Tract Diseases” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/Urinary_Tract_Diseases), this second volume aims to continue providing new insights into the medical and surgical management of urinary tract diseases.
