Article Synopsis
- Hospitals often split standard platelet units into low-dose units to address shortages, but their effectiveness in actively bleeding patients was previously untested.
- A study compared outcomes of patients in cardiac surgery receiving low-dose platelets versus whole-dose platelets over 18 months and found no significant differences in transfusion needs, bleeding complications, or mortality rates.
- The findings suggest low-dose platelets may be as effective as whole-dose options during shortages, but further multicenter research is recommended to validate these results.*
Postoperative stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) has improved with the early apical release (EAR) technique. However, some patients develop SUI despite using EAR HoLEP. The aim of this study is to investigate whether a novel classification of the external sphincter is correlated with postoperative SUI.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 41 consecutive patients who underwent RATUR for TUS at multiple tertiary referral centers between January 2016 and December 2022. RATUR was performed utilizing a robotic-assisted transperitoneal approach.
