Despite the advent of robotics and the decreasing rate of complications after radical cystectomy, several factors are renowned to impair the early outcomes of this procedure. The aim of this paper is to provide a multivariate analysis (MVA) of patient and surgical procedure-related variables likely to affect postoperative course and 30-day complication rate. Fifty-five robotic-assisted radical cystectomies (RARCs) performed at a single center from July 2021 to March 2023 were enrolled. Baseline demographics, comorbidities, and intraoperative and postoperative data were collected. Uni- and multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate the relationship with Clavien ≥ II complications arising within 30 days of surgery. A postoperative Clavien ≥ II complication was evident in 15 patients (28%), whereas Clavien ≥ III occurred only in 5 (9%). At MVA, the only independent predictor of Clavien ≥ II complications was a prior neoadjuvant chemotherapy (OR 5.6; 95% CI 1.22-25.3, = 0.026). Recognized the small sample size, patients who received a prior NAC should deserve special care within the postoperative course.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study reviews the "pentafecta" criteria for reporting outcomes following radical cystectomy (RC), originally encompassing five specific health measures; it has since been modified to focus more on complications and cancer recurrence.
  • - A total of 12 studies involving nearly 5,000 patients were analyzed, revealing that only 34% achieved all pentafecta goals, with major complications and insufficient lymph node removal being significant barriers.
  • - The research indicates that achieving pentafecta is linked to better long-term cancer outcomes and quality of life, but limitations include the retrospective nature of studies and generally short follow-up periods.

Objective: The effect of preoperative malnutrition and sarcopenia on outcomes in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) after open surgical repair (OSR) and endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair is undefined. The authors conducted the study to address this issue in this population.

Design: A retrospective observational study.

Objectives: Patient injury claims data and insurance records provide detailed information on patient injuries. This study aimed to identify the errors and adverse events that led to patient injuries in vascular surgery for the treatments of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) and iliac artery aneurysms (IAA) in Finland. The study also assessed the severity and preventability of the injuries.

Objective: Since its introduction, endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has become a mainstay in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), resulting in the decline of open aneurysm repairs. The objective of this study was to determine whether reduced open aneurysm repair frequency has led to a reduction in perioperative efficiency and increase in postsurgical complications.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study compared perioperative data and complications of 49 consecutive juxtarenal AAA (<1-cm neck) open repairs performed between 2014 and 2017 and 53 consecutive juxtarenal AAA controls (2005-2007) at The Ottawa Hospital.
