Article Synopsis
- The study examines the trends and outcomes associated with transferring pediatric patients with acute testicular torsion from community hospitals to specialized pediatric centers between 2018 and 2023.
- Researchers compared two groups: patients treated at a pediatric center immediately versus those transferred, analyzing clinical outcomes and costs incurred during the process.
- Results showed an increase in transfers, a significant delay in surgical intervention for transferred patients, and a higher incidence of orchiectomy among those treated directly at pediatric centers, indicating potential inefficiencies in the transfer process.
Objective: To describe the characteristics of patients presenting for gender-affirming bilateral simple orchiectomy including interest in and prior education on reproductive options prior to gonad removal.
Methods: A retrospective chart review evaluated patients seeking gender-affirming bilateral orchiectomy. Data collected included age, family history, history of fertility preservation education prior to gender-affirming hormone therapy initiation, prior fertility preservation, interest in fertility preservation, and postorchiectomy surgical pathology results where applicable.
Purpose Of Review: Our goal was to summarize current literature related to imaging of intra-abdominal genitourinary tumors diagnosed in the prenatal or neonatal period. Our specific interests included modalities used, diagnoses made, changing incidence of tumor detection, and proposed future uses of these imaging modalities.
Recent Findings: Fetal and neonatal MRI have been used as an adjunct to ultrasound for better characterization and assessment of congenital mesoblastic nephroma, juvenile granulosa cell tumor, and other tumors.
Introduction: We characterized physician burnout among urologists to determine the prevalence and efficacy of specific burnout interventions utilized and to determine involvement of workplaces in effective burnout interventions.
Methods: The Western Section of the American Urological Association created an electronic, 29 question workforce survey. Several questions focused on assessing the level of urologist burnout, prevalence of work sponsored burnout interventions and efficacy of specific interventions.
