Background: Sexual dysfunctions are frequent in the general population and even more frequent in individuals with chronic neurological disorders like multiple sclerosis (MS). Several studies indicate that patients would like healthcare workers to address sexual problems. Indeed, such complaints are not currently sufficiently detected and treated.

- The study focused on the average 3-day hospital stay after robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and aimed to identify which patients could safely undergo the procedure on an outpatient basis without significant complications.
- Researchers analyzed data from 3,342 patients who had RAPN between 2010 and 2021, finding that overall complications occurred in almost 15% of cases, with significant complications occurring in about 3.6%.
- Key risk factors for early significant complications within 72 hours post-surgery included longer clamping times and higher ASA scores, leading to the conclusion that patients with ASA scores greater than 2 and a clamping time under 20 minutes could be good candidates for outpatient surgery.
Purpose: Previous studies suggested better functional outcomes and longer device survival for female artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation compared to male AUS implantation. We hypothesized that the adoption of robotic approaches for female implantation might have influenced these comparisons. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of robotic female AUS and male AUS implantation for non-neurogenic stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

- The article investigates how abdominal trauma is managed in elderly patients compared to younger individuals, recognizing the unique medical needs of the aging population.
- A study from two European hospitals analyzed 1181 patients, revealing that while elderly patients had higher mortality rates (13% vs. 7%), their management approach, including surgical intervention and intensive care requirements, was similar to that of younger patients.
- The authors suggest that age should not be the sole predictor of mortality, advocating for the use of a frailty score to enhance treatment strategies and outcomes for elderly trauma patients.
Background: Over the past 30 years, there has been a major shift in the management of liver trauma. Contained hepatic vascular injuries (CHVI), including pseudoaneurysms and arteriovenous fistulas, are often feared because of the risk of secondary hemorrhage. However, little is known about CHVI.
