ChatGPT in Urogynecology Research: Novel or Not?

Importance: ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot that provides human-like responses to text prompts. Little is known regarding ChatGPT's ability to identify original research ideas in urogynecology.

Objective: Our objective was to evaluate the accuracy of ChatGPT in generating novel systematic review (SR) and research ideas in urogynecology.

WALANT Hand Surgery Does Not Require Postoperative Opioid Pain Management.

Background: Currently, opioids are the standard of care for postoperative pain management. Avoiding unnecessary opioid exposure in patients is of current interest because of widespread abuse.

Methods: This is a prospective cohort study in which wide-awake, local anesthesia, no-tourniquet (WALANT) technique was used for 94 hand/upper extremity surgical patients and compared to patient cohorts undergoing similar procedures under monitored anesthesia care.

Neurologic Complications of Preoperative Embolization of Spinal Metastasis: A Systemic Review of the Literature Identifying Distinct Mechanisms of Injury.

Background: Preoperative embolization of spinal metastases may improve outcomes of resection by reducing surgical blood loss and operative time. Neurologic complications are rarely reported and the mechanisms leading to injury are poorly described.

Methods: We present 2 illustrative cases of embolization-related neurologic injury from distinct mechanisms and the findings of a systemic literature review of similar complications according to the PRISMA guidelines.
