Purpose Of Review: Shorter hospital stay after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can provide economic advantage. Same-day discharge (SDD) after transradial PCI is thought to reduce the cost of care while maintaining the quality and safety. This review summarizes the current knowledge of the benefits and safety of this concept.
Recent Findings: Increase in rate of transradial PCI over the last two decades has resulted in recent growth in rate of acceptance of SDD after a successful procedure. SDD is shown to result in savings of $3500 to $5200 per procedure with comparable adverse event rate of traditional discharge processes. SDD after PCI is shown to be safe and results in cost advantage maintaining the safety profile. The acceptance rate of SDD is still not optimum, and further market penetration of SDD practice would be achieved only if the institutional and operator preference barriers are addressed.

Background: Transperitoneal approach to robot-assisted pyeloplasty (RAP) have been preferred in the last decades because of the use of multi-port robotic platforms. However, this approach is linked to notable issues, such as pneumoperitoneum and lateral decubitus position, which is associated with potential soft tissues injuries, and it is a time-consuming procedure. Single-port (SP) platform was introduced to potentially address these issues.

Objective: CSF leaks are a significant source of patient morbidity following intradural spine surgeries. Watertight dural closure is crucial during these procedures to minimize the risk of a CSF leak. This study reports postoperative outcomes and changes in patient management after switching to penetrating titanium clips for dural closure in a large cohort of pediatric patients receiving a tethered cord release (TCR) or a selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR).

Background: Despite increased antiretroviral therapy (ART) access in South Africa, HIV testing and ART initiation are suboptimal in hospital settings. Key gaps include in-hospital case finding, ART initiation support, and primary health care (PHC) facility linkage after discharge.
Intervention Development And Description: We identified weaknesses in hospital processes by comparing them with PHC HIV services and developed a quality improvement model for implementation in 5 Johannesburg hospitals.
