Patient Interaction With the Health Care System Following a Nonopioid Discharge Strategy for Anterior Urethroplasty.

Introduction: Continued efforts have been made to minimize postoperative opioids following urologic interventions. Studies show that patient-reported pain outcomes are similar between those patients discharged with and without opioids following anterior urethroplasty, but we do not know what impact this has on health care utilization. We aim to show that a nonopioid discharge following anterior urethroplasty does not increase postoperative health care utilization.

Surgical Outcomes and Prediction of Complications Following High-complexity Buried Penis Reconstruction.

Purpose: With uniform modern approaches to adult acquired buried penis reconstruction, this study provides updated results on surgical outcomes for complex cases while evaluating the relative influence of medical, surgical, and socioeconomic factors on these results.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective review was conducted of all patients undergoing initial buried penis reconstruction including escutcheonectomy and penile skin grafting at 1 tertiary center from 2015 through 2022. Summary scores for frailty and socioeconomic status were calculated with the Modified Frailty Index and Area Deprivation Index, respectively.
