Objective: To assess the results of the correction of congenital penile curvature using the Nesbit operation.

Patients And Methods: The records of 106 patients who had a Nesbit operation to correct a congenital penile curvature between 1977 and 1992 were reviewed.

Results: An excellent (78.3%) or satisfactory (17.9%) result was achieved representing an overall success rate of 96.2%. The reasons for a poor or satisfactory result were either an impaired erection--7 (6.6%) [all psychogenic] or a residual deformity of 10 degrees--16 (15.1%). There were no major complications although five patients (5.3%) needed a further Nesbit operation.

Conclusion: The Nesbit operation is a simple and effective technique for the correction of a congenital penile curvature.

Background: While endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) has become standard of care for patients' acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to large vessel occlusion (LVO), many patients still suffer profound neurological disability, also termed futile recanalization (FR). The BAND score, which incorporates baseline disability, age, stroke severity, and treatment time window, is derived as a simple tool for upfront prediction of FR prior to EVT. This study aims to externally validate the BAND score and to incorporate upfront imaging biomarkers into the prediction tool.

Objective: To compare the safety profile and clinical outcomes of Altieri-modified Nesbit corporoplasty using two different anesthesia methods including spinal anesthesia and local anesthesia.

Materials And Methods: A total of 40 patients with congenital penile curvature (CPC) and Peyronie's disease (PD) underwent Altieri-modified Nesbit corporoplasty. Group 1 (n = 20) received spinal anesthesia, and Group 2 (n = 20) received local anesthesia.

Clinical Outcomes and Costs of Robotic-assisted vs Conventional Mitral Valve Repair: A National Analysis.

Ann Thorac Surg

November 2024

Division of Cardiac Surgery, Department of Surgery, David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles, California. Electronic address:

Background: Robotic approaches have been increasingly utilized for cardiothoracic operations, though concerns regarding costs remain. We evaluated short-term outcomes and costs of robotic-assisted and conventional mitral valve repair (MV-repair), hypothesizing that cost differences would be mitigated at high-volume programs.

Methods: Adults undergoing elective MV-repair from 2016 to 2020 were identified in the Nationwide Readmissions Database.
