Introduction: In 2016, an American Society of Breast Surgeons (ASBrS) statement discouraged contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) in average-risk women with unilateral breast cancer. Despite evidence of no oncologic benefit and related attempts to discourage the practice, CPM remains prevalent. This study aims to assess CPM trends post-ASBrS statement and factors associated with these trends.

This mixed-methods study explored SNAP users' food and beverage purchasing patterns and perspectives regarding potential modifications to SNAP to inform the design of SNAP+, a healthy incentive program to increase fruit and vegetable (FV) and decrease sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) purchases.
Methods: Participants were recruited through a non-profit organizational network to participate in an online survey.
Importance: In-office postoperative voiding trials (VTs) increase health care burden for patients and physicians. Adoption of an at-home VT option may decrease burden without increasing adverse events postoperatively.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare 30-day postoperative outcomes between participants who performed an at-home autofill VT after catheter self-discontinuation during the Assessing Healthcare Utilization and Feasibility of Transurethral Catheter Self-discontinuation (FLOTUS) study and a "historic" control cohort of patients who presented to the office for backfill-assisted VT on postoperative day (POD) 1.
Objective: To compare the rates of health care utilization (office messages or calls, office visits, and emergency department [ED] visits) and postoperative complications within 30 days after surgery between patients with successful voiding trials on postoperative day 0 and those with unsuccessful voiding trials on postoperative day 0 and between patients with successful and unsuccessful voiding trials on postoperative day 1. Secondary objectives were to identify risk factors for unsuccessful voiding trials on postoperative days 0 and 1 and to explore the feasibility of catheter self-discontinuation by assessing for any complications associated with at-home catheter self-discontinuation on postoperative day 1.
Methods: This study was a prospective observational cohort study of women undergoing outpatient urogynecologic or minimally invasive gynecologic surgery for benign indications at one academic practice from August 2021 to January 2022.
