Review of the Utility of Extended Recovery Room Observation after Adenotonsillectomy.

Background: Our institution implemented a post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) extended-stay model (Grey Zone model), where the post-operative level of care for high-risk adenotonsillectomy patients (general care vs. intensive care unit) was decided based on the clinical course of 2-4 h of PACU admission.

Objective: To assess the correlation between post-tonsillectomy respiratory compromise and the need for respiratory support during an extended stay at PACU.

Ultrasound-Measured Urethral Length Does Not Change following Minimally Invasive Sacrocolpopexy for Pelvic Organ Prolapse.

Objectives: To compare urethral length (UL), as measured by three-dimenstional transvaginal ultrasound, before and after minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy (SCP).

Methods: Secondary analysis of a prospective cohort study of women undergoing SCP for prolapse beyond the hymen with or without a concomitant anti-incontinence procedure. Participants underwent ultrasound at baseline and 14 weeks postoperatively.
