Article Synopsis
- Hydrocele is a common urologic issue but lacks established treatment guidelines, prompting a study to examine how urologists worldwide manage adult hydroceles.
- An international survey gathered responses from urologists in six countries to analyze treatment preferences, decision-making factors, and patient satisfaction regarding hydrocele management.
- Results showed significant differences in treatment approaches by country, with most surgeons preferring hydrocelectomy for larger hydroceles and younger patients, despite acknowledging its higher complication rates compared to aspiration.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated when venous thromboembolism (VTE) occurs after major surgery to determine how long thromboprophylaxis (preventative treatment) should last.
- - Researchers systematically reviewed 6258 studies and found that out of the 22 eligible studies, nearly half (47.1%) of VTE events occurred within the first week post-surgery, with the risk decreasing over the following weeks.
- - The findings highlight that while most VTEs happen shortly after surgery, a significant number occur later, which is essential information for tailoring postoperative care and guideline recommendations.
