The urological research has been emphasizing in recent years by important scientific discoveries and has become a north for urology. The main field linked to advances in this segment is translational research. Nowadays, we already know that some pharmacological treatments for some pathologies can generate adverse effects and provoking the appearance of new pathologies secondary to the treatment. In addition, works in this direction have generated good publications in newspapers with considerable impact in the academic environment and a considered number of citations on these scientific studies. Morphological studies of pharmacological treatments, experimental surgical techniques and dietary supplementation models have become a great tool for understanding the mechanisms of progression of pathophysiology with benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer. Today we can already understand the important role of antioxidants as a tool for partial and total nephrectomies. The purpose of this special edition will be to open an abstracts submission in this segment, which will allow a good collection of scientific studies of quality studies. Enabling a greater number of citations in two years. The methodology for choosing the works: we will consider submissions of original scientific articles, meta analyzes, systematic reviews of the literature and letter to the editor of the special edition. In addition, only papers that have been approved by the ethics committee of the institution where the scientific work was done will be accepted.
