Purpose: To compare the efficacy and time-to-discharge of two methods of trial of void (TOV): bladder infusion versus standard catheter removal.
Methods: Electronic searches for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing bladder infusion versus standard catheter removal were performed using multiple electronic databases from dates of inception to June 2020. Participants underwent TOV after acute urinary retention or postoperatively after intraoperative indwelling catheter (IDC) placement.
Background: Infection complicates 1% of aortic grafts, and although uncommon, the associated morbidity and mortality are significant. We sought to determine risk factors for aortic graft infection (AGI), the long-term outcomes in patients managed both nonoperatively and via explantation.
Methods: This observational study reviewed sequential aortic grafts (thoracic or abdominal) inserted via open or endovascular means between 2000 and 2017.

Introduction: Gallstone spillage during laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a common occurrence. Complications due to spilled gallstones occur in up to 5% of laparoscopic cholecystectomy cases, with complications having been reported up to 20 years after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Case Report: We report the case of a 70 year old male who presented for elective right inguinal hernia repair.
Backgrounds: Gallstone disease and cholecystectomy have been uncommon in paediatric patients and associated with haemolytic disease and prematurity. Many countries have observed an increase in the prevalence of paediatric gallstones and cholecystectomy with increasing childhood obesity. The purpose of this study was to determine any trend in prevalence in Australian children and the role of obesity.

Thought to only arise in those with end stage renal disease, CCP-RCC is increasingly identified in those without renal impairment.
