Ventral midline approach to penile fracture with bilateral corporal injuries and complete urethral avulsion: a case report.

Penile fracture is a rare clinical entity that occurs secondary to direct trauma to an erect penis, most commonly during sexual intercourse. Specifically, increased pressure within the corpus cavernosa results in rupture of the tunica albuginea. Occasionally, these injuries extend to the urethra and very rarely cause a complete urethral avulsion.

Long-term risk of de novo malignancy with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) inhibitor immunosuppression: a multicenter, retrospective cohort study.

Background: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) is an inflammatory cytokine implicated in the development of many chronic inflammatory diseases and TNF-α inhibitors (TNF-I) are frequently prescribed as treatment. Their malignancy risk is debated, with pro-oncogenic effects of decreased immune surveillance and anti-oncogenic effects of decreasing chronic inflammation. As such, the literature is inconclusive in the malignancy risk of these medications.

Assessment of Applicant and Program Director Attitudes Toward a Hybrid Approach to Urology Residency Interviews.

Objective: To compare the attitudes of urology residency applicants and program directors (PDs) toward virtual vs in-person interviews in the context of a hybrid interview approach.

Methods: We conducted 2 anonymous surveys of Urology Residency Match applicants and PDs from accredited training programs after the completion of the 2024-2025 match cycle. These surveys were approved and distributed by the Society of Academic Urologists.

Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha Inhibitor Use and Malignancy Risk: A Systematic Review and Patient Level Meta-Analysis.

Over the last two decades, tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors (TNF-Is) have become standard therapies for chronic inflammatory disorders, with an ongoing expansion of indications and off-label applications [...

Comparison of inpatient versus post-discharge venous thromboembolic events after spinal surgery: A single institution series of 6869 consecutive patients.

Study Design: retrospective chart review.

Objective: We aimed to determine the perioperative risk factors that lead to inpatient or post-discharge venous thromboembolism (VTE) events after spinal surgery.

Summary Of Background Data: While many studies relate the risk factors in a post-surgical setting to the incidence of VTE, this study aims to separate these VTE into inpatient and post-discharge categories to examine timing and risk factors.
