Objective: To report the outcomes of patients who underwent robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) and have a history of previous pelvic surgery and/or radiation.
Methods: Retrospective review of our prospectively maintained database between 2005 and 2018. Patients were divided into 3 groups based on surgical complexity; Complexity grade 1 included patients who did not have any history of prior pelvic surgery or radiation (n = 323); Complexity grade 2 included those who had history of a single pelvic surgery or radiation (n = 186); and Complexity grade 3 included those who had history of 2 or more pelvic surgeries, or one or more pelvic surgery and radiation (n = 80). All groups were compared in terms of perioperative outcomes. Multivariate linear and logistic regression models were used to depict the predictors of operative time, ≥500 ml blood loss, 90-day complications, high grade complications, and readmissions.
Results: Complexity grades 2 and 3 exhibited higher 90-day complications compared to CG1 (CG3: 74%, CG1: 59%, CG2: 68%, P = .02), and high grade complications (CG3: 24%, CG1: 13%, CG2 18%, P = .03). On multivariate linear and logistic regression models, CG 3 was significantly associated with higher 90-day complications (OR 2.18, 95% CI 1.21-3.94, P <.01) but not significantly associated with higher rates of significant blood loss, longer operative time, 90-day high grade complications and readmissions.
Conclusion: Patients with higher complexity of the surgical field exhibited more complications after robot-assisted radical cystectomy, but not readmissions.

Background: The occurrence of periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFFs) in cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) might be associated with the proximal femoral morphology and the pelvis. PFFs in short stem THA are associated with an increased Canal Flare Index. PFFs in straight stem THA show a decreased Canal Flare Index.

Objective: Spinopelvic sagittal balance ensures efficient posture and minimizes energy expenditure by aligning the spine, pelvis, and lower extremities. Deviations can cause clinical issues like back pain and functional limitations. Key radiographic parameters, including pelvic tilt (PT), pelvic incidence (PI), sacral slope (SS), and lumbar lordosis (LL), are essential for evaluating spinal pathologies and planning surgeries.

An unusual case of small bowel obstruction (SBO) due to haemostatic gelatin sponge placed during caesarean delivery is presented. A primigravida in their 30s underwent caesarean delivery at 39 weeks, and developed symptoms of SBO from the second postoperative day. Given the worsening condition of the patient and increasing abdominal girth, CT of the abdomen and pelvis was done which revealed features of SBO.

Introduction: Novel methods for annotating antero-posterior (AP) pelvis radiographs and fluoroscopic images with deep-learning models have recently been developed. However, their clinical use has been limited. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop a deep learning model that could annotate clinically relevant pelvic landmarks on both radiographic and fluoroscopic images and automate total hip arthroplasty (THA)-relevant measurements.

Background: Pelvic discontinuity (PD) poses a difficult challenge in revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA). There is a paucity of evidence assessing five- to ten-year outcomes of cup cages for PD. This study aimed to review the survivorship and outcomes of cup-cage constructs for PD.
