Introduction: Rerouting urine flow is often required following radical cystectomy (RC). In this context, the ileal conduit (IC) has become the most common technique for urinary diversion, primarily due to its technical simplicity and suitability for...
Ankle fractures are extremely common and often require surgical management, historically with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), although fibular intramedullary nailing (IMN) has demonstrated promising results in recent years. The purpose o...
This study analyzed complication rates, perioperative metrics, and hospital readmissions across BMI cohorts in patients undergoing direct anterior approach (DAA) total hip arthroplasty (THA) in a mature hip practice. Currently, the precise BMI cutoff...
Diabetic foot ulcers drive non-traumatic lower-limb amputation; limb salvage surgery is often pursued to preserve function and survival. Predictors of adverse outcomes remain incompletely defined, and evidence for multidisciplinary team (MDT) care is...
Introduction: Tobacco smoking is a known risk factor for adverse surgical outcomes, including delayed wound healing and an increased risk of infection and nonunion. The rising use of cannabis products and alternative nicotine products, such as smokel...
Background: Despite advances in surgical techniques and perioperative care, pancreatic resections such as pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and distal pancreatectomy (DP) remain high-risk procedures. Postoperative complications significantly impact morbid...
Necrotizing soft tissue infection (NSTI) is a rapidly progressive, life-threatening soft tissue infection that involves the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and fascia, with a natural evolution to septic shock and death if not treated. NSTI is typically as...
Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) has emerged as a key intervention for painful vertebral compression fractures in osteoporotic and metastatic disease, but its safety profile warrants comprehensive evaluation. We conducted a PRISMA-compliant systemat...
Background/objectives: Robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is increasingly utilised for the management of renal masses, with the growing use of different robotic platforms and increasing complexity of renal masses managed robotically. Appropr...
Penile cancer is a rare malignancy, with approximately 2100 cases diagnosed annually in the United States. The 5-year overall survival rate varies significantly depending on the node involvement status, at 79% in node-negative disease versus 51% for...
