AI Article Synopsis
- Transvaginal cholecystectomy results in less post-operative pain and better cosmetic outcomes than conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy, but similar evidence for transscrotal and transurethral cholecystectomy is lacking.
- A systematic search of PubMed and Embase found no trials comparing transscrotal and transurethral methods with conventional laparoscopic approaches.
- The study concludes that more research, particularly large randomized controlled trials, is needed to assess the benefits of transscrotal and transurethral cholecystectomy.
Article Abstract
Introduction: Patients treated with transvaginal cholecystectomy have less post-operative pain and improved cosmesis compared to patients treated with conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy. No systematic review or meta-analysis has been conducted focusing on similar beneficial surgeries for men. The aim of this meta-analysis was to compare transscrotal and transurethral cholecystectomy with conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Methods: PubMed and Embase were systematically searched for observational and randomized controlled trials comparing transscrotal and transurethral cholecystectomy with conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The primary outcome was post-operative complications. Cosmetic satisfaction and whether the patient would recommend the surgery to others were assessed as secondary outcome.
Results: No observational or randomized controlled trials comparing transscrotal and transurethral cholecystectomy with conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy was found.
Conclusions: Sufficient evidence to illustrate the advantages of transscrotal and transurethral cholecystectomy compared with conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy cannot be provided currently. There is an urgent need for qualified data in this surgical field. Large randomized controlled trials assessing this topic would be appreciated.

Background: An increase in the frequency of surgeries among older individuals is observed in some countries. Hypotension is common and exaggerated in older patients and can lead to increased morbidity and mortality. Total intravenous anesthesia is commonly administered with propofol, while remimazolam has been suggested as an alternative to propofol because of advantages such as a more stable hemodynamic profile and less respiratory suppression.

Association Between Changes in Postoperative Opioid Utilization and Long-Term Health Care Spending Among Surgical Patients With Chronic Opioid Utilization.

Department of Health Care Policy, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts.
Background: There is growing interest in identifying and developing interventions aimed at reducing the risk of increased, long-term opioid use among surgical patients. While understanding how these interventions impact health care spending has important policy implications and may facilitate the widespread adoption of these interventions, the extent to which they may impact health care spending among surgical patients who utilize opioids chronically is unknown.
Methods: This study was a retrospective analysis of administrative health care claims data for privately insured patients.

It is unknown whether recovery from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection leads to an increased need for common surgical procedures. Our objective was to conduct an exploratory analysis of surgical procedures performed after a documented COVID-19 infection. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using routinely collected data from the province of Ontario, Canada.
