Objective: To assess trends in risk for obstetric venous thromboembolism (VTE).
Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from the 2008-2019 Merative MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters and Medicaid Multi-State databases. Women aged 15-54 years with a delivery hospitalization and health care enrollment from 1 year before pregnancy to 60 days after delivery were identified.
Article Synopsis
- Urine leak (UL) and vascular complications (VC) are known potential issues following robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN), with UL incidences varying from 0.3 to 17% and VC from 0.8 to 5.6%.
- In a study involving 447 RAPN patients, there were 9 cases of VC and 9 cases of UL, with most complications occurring in tumors located less than 4 mm from the collecting system.
- Both complications typically presented early post-surgery, mostly manageable without the need for kidney re-operation or removal, maintaining low overall complication rates in line with other modern studies.
Objectives: Although hemispheric surgeries are among the most effective procedures for drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) in the pediatric population, there is a large variability in seizure outcomes at the group level. A recently developed HOPS score provides individualized estimation of likelihood of seizure freedom to complement clinical judgement. The objective of this study was to develop a freely accessible online calculator that accurately predicts the probability of seizure freedom for any patient at 1-, 2-, and 5-years post-hemispherectomy.

Purpose: Selective amygdalohippocampectomy (SelAH) is one of the most common surgical treatments for mesial temporal sclerosis. Microsurgical approaches are associated with the risk of cognitive and visual deficits due to damage to the cortex and white matter (WM) pathways. Our objective is to test the feasibility of an endoscopic approach through the anterior middle temporal gyrus (aMTG) to perform a SelAH.
