Objective: To examine voluntary reports in the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) database, categorize complications and assign device-related causality with transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), prostatic urethral lift (PUL), and transurethral water vapor therapy (TWVT).
Methods: A review was performed using the terms "Urolift," "Rezum," and "transurethral resection of the prostate" between 01/01/2015 and 12/31/2019. Duplicate and incomplete reports were excluded.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores infection types in patients with deep tissue infections following the surgical removal of soft-tissue sarcomas (STS), focusing on the role of anaerobic bacteria and associated risk factors.
- Analysis of 64 patients revealed that Staphylococcus aureus was the most prevalent pathogen identified, with a significant number of infections being polymicrobial and involving anaerobic organisms.
- The time between tumor removal and surgical debridement was notably longer for anaerobic infections compared to aerobic ones, suggesting that infections presenting after 53 days are likely to contain anaerobic pathogens, highlighting the need for targeted antibiotic treatment.
