Among patients undergoing surgery, an increase in surgical duration was directly associated with an increase in the risk for VTE. These findings may help inform preoperative and postoperative decision making related to surgery.

This meta-analysis encompassed 4856 cases of simultaneous augmentation-mastopexy. Study heterogeneity was high because of differences in surgical techniques, outcome definitions, and follow-up durations. This review suggests that with careful patient selection, pooled complication and reoperation rates for single-stage augmentation-mastopexy are acceptably low.

Urology resident involvement is not associated with increased overall and surgical complications. It may even be protective when adjusted for appropriate factors such as case mix, complexity and operative time.

Readmission after outpatient urological surgery occurs at a rate of 3.7%. A history of cancer, bleeding disorder, male gender, ASA level 3 or 4 and age were associated with readmission along with greater rates of medical and surgical complications. Our results may help guide risk reduction initiatives and prevent costly readmissions.

Mortality and complication rates after colpocleisis are low with urinary tract infection being the most common postoperative complication. Concomitant sling placement does not increase 30-day complication rates.

Unplanned readmission after outpatient plastic surgery is infrequent and compares favorably to rates of readmission among other specialties. Obesity, wound infection within 30 days of the index operation, and American Society of Anesthesiologists class 3 or 4 physical status are independent predictors of readmission. As procedures continue to transition into outpatient settings and the drive to improve patient care persists, these findings will serve to optimize outpatient surgery use.

Our experience indicates that robot-assisted laparoscopic IUU is safe and effective in the management of ureteral duplication anomalies in children.
