Article Abstract
Shared-decision making is crucial in today's society. Although penile prosthesis surgery has had significant improvements regarding technique and materials over the last few decades - with the highest satisfaction rate in erectile dysfunction treatment at present time -, dissatisfaction can occur because of bad preoperative counseling with the creation of unrealistic expectations. This paper includes a small narrative review regarding the most important preoperative variables to be discussed in the preoperative setting. Literature search was conducted in December 2023 using PubMed. Additionally, our own standardized flowchart for preoperative counseling was added. The most important aspects of preoperative counseling include a description of the pathophysiology of erectile dysfunction as well as alternative treatments. Information should be given about which implant categories exist. Additionally, some information about the procedure itself as well as the financial aspect should be communicated. The most frequent and most important complications should be illustrated. Last but not least, the patient's expectations should be evaluated. Our added standardized flowchart with figure acts as a practical guideline for professionals as well as for patients. Our standardized approach for preoperative counseling emphasizes reasonable postoperative expectations aiming for a well-informed patient with high postoperative satisfaction. Our general strategy is to underpromise and overdeliver.

Introduction: Although previous studies have shown that severe medial knee osteoarthritis (OA) (Kellgren-Lawrence grade IV) is a risk factor for patient dissatisfaction following medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO), it is uncommon to perform arthroplasty as a primary surgical option in patients 55 years of age or younger. Thus, the purpose of our study was to evaluate whether severe medial knee OA is a risk factor for dissatisfaction following MOWHTO depending on patient age based on a cutoff of 55 years.
Material And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the data of 270 consecutive patients who underwent MOWHTO with a minimum of 2 years of follow up.

In the realm of orthopedics, the adoption of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols marks a significant stride towards enhancing patient well-being. By embracing a holistic approach that encompasses preoperative counseling, dietary optimization, minimally invasive procedures, and early postoperative mobilization, these protocols have ushered in a new era of surgical care. Despite encountering hurdles like resistance to change and resource allocation challenges, the efficacy of ERAS protocols in improving clinical outcomes is undeniable.

Objectives: This study conducted a subjective 6-month follow-up to evaluate voice and swallowing changes after thyroid surgery in patients without clinical evidence of recurrent nerve injury.
Methods: In this prospective cohort study, voice and swallowing alterations were assessed in 56 adult patients who underwent thyroidectomy, compared to 59 patients with laryngeal conditions and 60 controls. Voice and swallowing changes were measured using auditory perceptual assessment, laryngoscopy, the Arabic Thyroidectomy‑related voice and symptom questionnaire (A-TVSQ), the Arabic VHI (A-VHI), and Swallowing Impairment Scores (SIS-6).

Introduction: A model to predict the risk of surgical complications following percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) could be a useful tool to guide clinical decision-making. The aim of this study was to develop a simple and widely applicable stratification tool to be used for patient counseling, surgical planning, evaluation of outcomes, and academic reporting.
Methods: Data of patients who underwent PCNL were retrieved from the database of the collaborating centers including demographics of patients, characteristics of their stones and urinary tracts, and perioperative data.
