Importance: Tobacco smoke is a modifiable risk factor that surgeons discuss with patients prior to undergoing sacrocolpopexy or mesh revision surgery.
Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of smoking on perioperative outcomes after sacrocolpopexy for pelvic organ prolapse and mesh revision repair.
Study Design: This was a retrospective cohort study of data obtained from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Project's database. Women who underwent surgery for pelvic organ prolapse via abdominal sacrocolpopexy (ASCP) or minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy (MISCP) or prolapse mesh revision surgery from 2011 to 2021 were identified and compared based on current tobacco use. Demographic, medical, and surgical history, as well as intraoperative and 30-day perioperative outcomes, were compared. Multivariate analysis was performed.
Results: Overall, 21,980 women underwent MISCP (8.60% smokers) and 3,775 underwent ASCP (8.74% smokers). Postoperative wound infections were more common after sacrocolpopexy in patients who smoked. Readmission after MISCP was more common in smokers. The composite perioperative morbidity score was different between smokers and nonsmokers for MISCP (P = 0.001) and ASCP (P = 0.002). Multivariate analyses of MISCP outcomes found an association between smoking and wound infection, readmission, and composite score. Multivariate analyses of ASCP outcomes found an association between smoking and wound infection. Overall 2,160 patients underwent mesh removal by any modality (16.57% smokers), and no difference in perioperative outcomes between smokers and nonsmokers for mesh removal was found.
Conclusions: An association was found between tobacco smoking and wound infection as well as other postoperative complications. Tobacco use prior to a mesh excision procedure does not appear to increase perioperative outcomes.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a postoperative multimodal pain control protocol on perioperative pain scores in children undergoing decompression for Chiari type I malformation (CM-I).
Methods: This retrospective matched cohort study included patients < 21 years of age who underwent elective suboccipital craniectomy and C1 laminectomy for CM-I with or without duraplasty at a single center from January 2020 to July 2023. A standardized, multimodal postoperative pain protocol was implemented in August 2021 that did not use narcotic patient-controlled analgesia.

Objective: Smartphones and wearable devices can be effective tools to objectively assess patient mobility and well-being before and after spine surgery. In this retrospective observational study, the authors investigated the relationship between these longitudinal perioperative patient activity data and socioeconomic and demographic correlates, assessing whether smartphone-captured metrics may allow neurosurgeons to distinguish intergroup patterns.
Methods: A multi-institutional retrospective study of patients who underwent spinal decompression with and without fusion between 2017 and 2021 was conducted.

Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the association between pituitary adenoma (PA) consistency and other measurable tumor characteristics, extent of resection (EOR), postoperative complications, and outcomes.
Methods: In total, 507 PA resections were intraoperatively assigned a consistency grade from 1 (cystic/hemorrhagic tumors) to 5 (calcified tumors) based on intraoperative tumor characteristics. Tumor consistency was analyzed in tertiles (grades 1 and 2, grade 3, and grades 4 and 5) to determine associations with tumor characteristics, EOR, recurrence, postoperative outcomes, and complications.

Objectives: A significant proportion of patients undergoing surgery for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are anemic at the time of resection. In these patients, blood transfusions are omitted due to their potential negative impact on oncological outcomes. The aim of the present study was to determine the prognostic value of preoperative anemia in resected PDAC patients, irrespective of blood transfusion status.

Purpose: Older adults with cancer have unique needs, which likely influence surgical outcomes in the geriatric oncology population. We conducted a systematic review to describe the literature focused on perioperative supportive care interventions for older adults with cancer undergoing surgery.
Methods: Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, we performed a comprehensive search using the Ovid MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Embase databases for literature published from January 2010 to October 2023.
