Article Synopsis
- Hypospadias repair often leads to complications, and while factors like anatomy and surgeon experience are known contributors, the influence of social determinants of health on outcomes is less understood.
- The study aimed to explore how resources and community conditions, assessed through the Childhood Opportunity Index (COI), impact post-operative complications in children who underwent distal hypospadias repair.
- An analysis of 938 patients showed a 14.1% complication rate, but no significant correlations were found between COI, insurance type, race, and complications; however, anatomical factors like glans width and chordee degree were linked to complications.
Objective: To report real-world experience of 4-year safety and efficacy outcomes of Aquablation procedure for the treatment of men with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Methods: This is a prospective single-center, observational study evaluating the outcomes of robotic-assisted Aquablation therapy for moderate-to-severe BPH between December 2019 and December 2023. Patient-level data included age, prostate volume, IPSS score, peak urinary flow rate (Qmax), post-void residual (PVR) were evaluated at 3 M, 6 M, and Years 1-4.
Background: The increasing popularity of the silicone sleeve penile implant has been accompanied by concerns over potential risks and adverse events.
Objectives: To provide multi-institutional data on safety outcomes in patients undergoing silicone sleeve penile implant surgery across high-volume implant surgeons. In addition, we discuss preventative techniques to minimize postoperative complications and the management of these events.
