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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
