Impact of a Switch From Ciprofloxacin to Ceftriaxone Prophylaxis on Infectious Complications After Transrectal Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy of the Prostate.

In a 12-year single-center quasi-experimental study, a switch from ciprofloxacin to ceftriaxone prophylaxis for transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy procedures was associated with a significant reduction in 30-day postprocedure urinary tract infection, urinary tract infection-related hospitalizations, antibiotic prescriptions, and isolation of fluoroquinolone-resistant organisms from urine or blood cultures.

Pre-surgical chronic kidney disease continues to drive outcomes in the modern era of minimally invasive renal surgery, despite advances in technology.

Purpose: To assess the impact of preoperative chronic kidney disease (CKD) on perioperative morbidity and mortality in a contemporary cohort undergoing renal surgery in an era of increased prevalence of minimally invasive surgery and partial nephrectomy.

Methods: The National Surgery Quality Improvement Program dataset was queried to identify patients undergoing radical nephrectomy (RN) or partial nephrectomy (PN) between 2010 and 2018. CKD staging was assigned based on creatinine clearance calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula.

Is there a benefit to additional neuroaxial anesthesia in open nephrectomy? A prospective NSQIP propensity score analysis.

Introduction: Neuroaxial (i.e., spinal, regional, epidural) anesthesia has been shown to be associated with reduced readmission rate, decreased hospital stay, and decreased overall complication rate in orthopedic and gynecologic surgery.

A Pfannenstiel single-site nephrectomy and nephroureterectomy: a practical application of laparoendoscopic single-site surgery.

Objectives: To present the initial clinical experience with laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) radical nephrectomy and nephroureterectomy performed completely through a Pfannenstiel incision.

Methods: Two patients underwent a single-site nephrectomy and nephroureterectomy for the diagnosis of an enhancing renal parenchymal mass and a renal pelvic mass, respectively. In both cases, a 7.

Laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) nephrectomy through a Pfannenstiel incision: porcine model.

Purpose And Objective: Laparoscopic nephrectomy has become a standard of care for localized renal tumors. Several groups have demonstrated single-incision laparoscopic nephrectomy performed completely through the extraction site, including transumbilical, paramedian, and transvaginal incisions. The Pfannenstiel incision is a commonly used extraction site after laparoscopic radical nephrectomy.
