Increasingly, technology plays an important role in urology, and with this greater use comes the expected increase in regulation. Authors from the UK present a review of the physical properties of ablative technologies, evaluating efficacy and safety, and summarising guidance issued by the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) where available. There are also reviews from the UK on haematuria, and on the pathology of bladder cancer from an international group of European authors.
