Background: Analgesia after robot assisted radical cystectomy aims to reduce postoperative pain and opioid consumption, while facilitating early mobilization and enteral nutrition and minimizing complications. Epidural analgesia is currently recommended for an open radical cystectomy, but it is unclear if intrathecal morphine is a suiting, less-invasive alternative for a robot-assisted radical cystectomy.
Methods: The analgesic method of choice changed from epidural anesthesia to intrathecal anesthesia for patients undergoing a robot-assisted radical cystectomy.
To evaluate the clinical characteristics of petrous apex cholesterol granulomas (PACG) and assess outcomes after different treatment strategies. A consecutive case series of 34 patients with a PACG. Main outcomes were PACG growth, symptoms, and the outcomes of different treatment strategies: wait-and-scan (WS) and surgical drainage.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of two-duct ligation (2-DL) for managing drooling in patients with nonprogressive neurodisabilities over a period of 1 to 12 years.
- Results showed a significant initial improvement in drooling severity, but some patients reported a return to higher levels of severity over time, with 33% needing additional treatment.
- Despite some recurrence, a majority (64%) of patients indicated they would recommend 2-DL to others, highlighting perceived long-term benefits.
