Context: Surgical checklists have previously been shown to improve surgical quality and patient outcomes. However, their use in transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT), one of the most commonly performed urological procedures, has yet to be explored in depth.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of surgical checklist implementation in TURBT on documentation quality, specimen quality, and oncological outcomes according to the existing literature.
Background: While minimally invasive techniques for aortic valve replacement (AVR) have been shown to be safe, limited data exist comparing the varying approaches. This study aimed to compare the outcomes between two minimally invasive approaches for AVR: mini-sternotomy (MS) and right anterior thoracotomy (RAT).
Materials And Methods: A systematic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and OVID was conducted for the period 1990-2019.
Limited uptake of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) of the aorta hinders assessment of its efficacy compared to median sternotomy (MS). The objective of this systematic review is to compare operative and perioperative outcomes for MIS versus MS. Online databases Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and Web of Science were searched from inception until July 2018.

A subgroup analysis compares TTC to EABO with femoral cannulation separately from EABO with aortic cannulation. We searched Medline and Embase up to December 2018.
