July-August 2017 issue of the Urology Journal by the journal editors for his valuable and timely review 
of manuscript. 
Below we have provided his own feeling regarding contribution to the Urology Journal: “For every 
Journal it is of utmost importance to have reviewers that carefully can read and scrutinize the submitted 
manuscripts. It is accordingly both a pleasure and honour to have contributed in this regard to the Urology 
Journal.
The review process always has been a way to guarantee the quality of publications and has become even 
more important in the steadily increasing flow of submitted manuscripts.
Personally I have a clinical and scientific experience in urology since approximately 40 year and have 
spent most of my professional life with different aspects of stone disease and its treatment. In this regard 
my background in medical and clinical chemistry has been a great advantage.
