Aims: Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery (URPS) fellowship can be pursued after completion of either a urology (URO) or obstetrics and gynecology (GYN) residency. Our aim is to determine differences in graduating fellow cohort (GFC) case logs between URO- and GYN-based URPS programs.
Methods: Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education case logs for URPS GFCs in both GYN- and URO-based programs were analyzed for the 2019-2023 academic years (AY).
Background: Using a population-based database, this study investigates the risk factors, epidemiology, and outcomes of basal cell adenocarcinoma (BCAC) of the head and neck.
Methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database was analyzed for all patients with BCAC of the head and neck from 1973 to 2015.
Results: Three hundred and twenty-two cases of BCAC of the head and neck were identified.
Scant literature is available on surgical outcomes of radical cystectomies on the new single-port (SP) system. This study compares short-term outcomes in patients undergoing radical cystectomy with those undergoing intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD) on the multiport (MP) SP platform. This institutional review board approved study used a prospective cystectomy database and nonparametric testing including chi-squared, Mann-Whitney U, and Fisher exact tests to analyze all variables stratified by surgical approach.

Methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was analyzed for all patients who have been diagnosed with GCS from 1973 to 2014.
Results: Four hundred and forty cases of GCS of the head and neck were identified.
Introduction: YouTube is the most used social media website, and there is a growing body of literature examining the reliability of healthcare information on this platform. Patients seeking men's health information may be more likely to use YouTube owing to the sensitivity of these issues.
Objectives: The objective of this study is to review the literature for studies related to the reliability of YouTube videos about men's health topics.
Diverting loop ileostomies are common procedures for protecting high-risk anastomoses. There is little consensus on the most ideal technique both in terms of cost efficiency and outcome. Data for this study were collected from 101 patients who underwent loop ileostomy reversal between 2009 and 2014 at Morristown Medical Center.

Further, we show that LbL synthesis can afford MOFs that have proven inaccessible through other de novo strategies.
