Objective: The aim of this study was to demonstrate the efficacy of neoadjuvant androgen deprivation therapy (NADT) on perioperative outcomes in patients who underwent radical prostatectomy (RP).

Materials And Methods: From January 2008 to July 2018, we collected retrospective data of patients with clinically localized prostate cancer who underwent RP to assess their perioperative and pathological outcomes. The data included age, body mass index (BMI), serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) level, clinical stage, neoadjuvant ADT usage, operative time, estimated blood loss (EBL), perioperative complications, blood transfusion rate, adjacent organ injury rate, length of hospital stay, pathological stage, Gleason score (GS) of the biopsy and pathological specimen, specimen weight (g), and margin status.

Results: Of the 718 RPs performed, 138 (19.22%) were NADT and 580 (80.78%) were non-NADT. Patients who underwent NADT had a significant benefit in operative time (185 vs 195 mins), EBL (300 vs 500 mL) and specimen weight. These benefits were more obvious in non-low risk prostate cancer with less operative time, EBL, blood transfusion rate, length of hospital stay and specimen weight. However, the margin status and adjacent organ injury rate were similar in the NADT and non-NADT groups.

Conclusion: NADT provides significantly better perioperative outcomes, especially in non-low risk prostate cancer, and has comparable pathological outcomes.

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare a multiple pelvic screw fixation strategy (dual bilateral 4 pelvic screw fixation [4PvS]) with the use of single bilateral 2 pelvic screw fixation (2PvS), with the aim of addressing lumbosacral junction stability.

Methods: This analysis is a single-center, retrospective review of ASD patients treated between 2015 and 2021. All patients had a minimum 2-year follow-up and spinal fusion to the sacrum without sacroiliac fusion and met at least one radiographic and procedural criterion: pelvic incidence-lumbar lordosis ≥ 20°, T1 pelvic angle ≥ 20°, sagittal vertical axis ≥ 7.

Background: Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) within 30 days following noncardiac surgery are prognostically relevant. Accurate prediction of risk and modifiable risk factors for postoperative MACEs is critical for surgical planning and patient outcomes. We aimed to develop and validate an accurate and easy-to-use machine learning model for predicting postoperative MACEs in geriatric patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.

Post-Operative Outcome Predictions in Vestibular Schwannoma Using Machine Learning Algorithms.

J Pers Med

December 2024

Division of Neurotology and Skull Base Surgery, Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697, USA.

This study aimed to develop a machine learning (ML) algorithm that can predict unplanned reoperations and surgical/medical complications after vestibular schwannoma (VS) surgery. All pre- and peri-operative variables available in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database (n = 110), except those directly related to our outcome variables, were used as input variables. A deep neural network model consisting of seven layers was developed using the Keras open-source library, with a 70:30 breakdown for training and testing.

Background: Spinal meningiomas (SMs) are common benign tumors that are typically treated with surgical resection. The choice of surgical approach may vary depending on the location of dural attachment of the SM, with a posterior approach being the traditional preference. However, there is limited research available on the impact of dural attachment location on outcomes following posterior approach for SM resection.

Background: Evaluating risk factors for bleeding events in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for renal angiomyolipoma (RAML) is essential for improving surgical outcomes.

Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent RAPN for renal masses between May 2019 and June 2023 at a single medical center, categorizing them into AML and non-AML groups. We assessed demographic data, perioperative complications, and postoperative outcomes.
