The prevalence of pulmonary hypertension (PH) has risen in adults of all races, genders, and ethnicities. PH is a fatal disease that presents many challenges to the perioperative health care team. Through increased knowledge of PH pathophysiological changes and anesthesia medications' effect on PH, perioperative health care teams can conduct a detailed preoperative evaluation to determine appropriate therapies to administer. This will assist the perioperative health care team in reducing the pulmonary vascular resistance, optimizing the matching of right ventricle and pulmonary circulations, and reduce the incidence of intraoperative and postoperative complications.

Objectives: Lymphedema of the lower limbs and pubic area is a potential complication following extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). The incidence of lymphedema after ePLND has not been systematically reported in the literature. This study aimed to determine the incidence of lymphedema, describe its clinical characteristics and identify specific risk factors in patients undergoing RARP with or without ePLND.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjectives: To assess the impact of a positive history of venous thromboembolism (VTE) on perioperative outcomes, including length of in-hospital stay, readmission rates, 90-day postoperative complications, and healthcare costs in bladder cancer (BCa) patients undergoing transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT) in the United States.
Patients And Methods: Patients aged ≥18 years with a BCa diagnosis undergoing TURBT were identified in the Merative® Marketscan® Research de-identified databases between 2007 and 2021. Multivariable logistic regression adjusted by relevant perioperative confounders was used to investigate the association between diagnosis of VTE before TURBT and 90-day complication rates, new postoperative VTE events, re-hospitalization, and total hospital expenditures (2021 US dollars).
