Importance: Surgery is frequently required for hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) treatment, but the impact of common comorbidities such as obesity, diabetes, and smoking on outcomes has been sparsely studied.

Observations: A total of 12 studies met final inclusion criteria for investigating complication rates associated with at least 1 comorbidity. Complication rates were associated with obesity in 3 of 10 studies. Obesity was modestly associated with dehiscence and readmission for flap reconstruction, debridement, and skin-grafting techniques in one study, dehiscence in a second, and delayed wound healing in another. One of 5 studies that reported complication rates in patients with diabetes found increased hospital readmissions for debridement (deroofing or excision without flap/graft) and flap reconstruction. No studies evaluating smoking found increased associated risks.

Conclusions And Relevance: This review highlights a greater need for consistent analysis and reporting of the surgical outcomes among patients with HS and certain comorbidities. Further rigorous clinical trials are needed to validate these findings and improve access to surgery in this patient population.

Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion with self-locking standalone cage for the treatment of cervical degenerative disc disease in patients over 80 years.

J Orthop Traumatol

January 2025

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, 180 Fenglin Road, Shanghai, 200032, China.

Background: The need for anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) for cervical degenerative disc disease (CDDD) will probably grow dramatically in the geriatric population. However, ACDF with self-locking standalone cages in patients over 80 years has not yet been investigated. This study aimed to assess the clinical and radiographic results in patients over 80 years treated by ACDF with self-locking standalone cages.

Prostate cancer treatment-related erectile dysfunction and stress urinary incontinence are commonly treated with inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) or artificial urinary sphincter (AUS). Given the association with androgens and penile/urethral health, we aim to evaluate whether patients on androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) undergoing IPP or AUS surgery are at increased risk for reintervention, complication, or infection. We queried the TriNetX database for adult males receiving IPP or AUS.
