Two of the mini‐reviews in this issue evaluate the laparoscopic approach to urology; one critically appraising laparoscopic nephroureterectomy for upper tract TCC, and the other looking back on the first 10 years of laparoscopic pyeloplasty. They are also a testament to the relationship which has developed between the effects of British urologists in becoming experts in this area, and the outstanding help and supervision given by Inderbir Gill and his team at the Cleveland Clinic. The financial backing for this venture came from the British Urological Foundation, which enthusiastically supports the concept of this preceptorship at the Cleveland Clinic.
