Article Abstract

Objective: To compare perioperative 30-day outcomes between minimally invasive radical prostatectomy (MIRP) with and without concurrent inguinal hernia repair (IHR) using a national database.

Methods: The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried for MIRP from 2012 to 2015. Concurrent IHR was identified using relevant Current Procedural Terminology codes. Primary outcomes were overall complications, reoperations, unplanned readmissions, and mortality within 30 days of MIRP. Secondary outcomes included operative time (OT), length of stay (LOS), prolonged length of stay (PLOS, >2 days), and discharged to continued care (DCC). Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify the association between concurrent IHR and outcomes.

Results: A total of 18,065 patients were included; 375 (2.1%) had concurrent IHR. The unadjusted comparison showed no significant difference in overall complication, reoperation, unplanned readmission, or mortality rates between MIRP+IHR and MIRP only groups. OT was longer in the MIRP+IHR group (229 vs 195 minutes, p < 0.001) but no differences were found in LOS, PLOS, or DCC rates. Multivariable logistic regression showed concurrent IHR was not associated with increased odds of overall complication (odds ratio [OR] = 0.83, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.49-1.40, p = 0.479), reoperation (OR = 0.57, 95% CI = 0.14-2.30, p = 0.426), unplanned readmission (OR = 0.92, 95% CI = 0.51-1.64, p = 0.771), PLOS (OR = 1.19, 95% CI = 0.86-1.63, p = 0.297), or DCC (OR = 1.94, 95% CI = 0.70-5.34, p = 0.202).

Conclusions: Concurrent IHR with MIRP was associated with longer OT, but there were no increased 30-day adverse outcomes within the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database. These data support the safety of performing concurrent IHR at the time of MIRP and it should be considered to spare men an additional procedure.

Background/objectives: Extrahepatic recurrence (EHR) is a significant negative prognostic factor in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Although EHR is commonly observed in high-risk patients following HCC hepatectomy, its occurrence without concurrent intrahepatic HCC remains poorly understood. Therefore, this study aims to examine the clinical characteristics and risk factors associated with EHR in patients without intrahepatic HCC at diagnosis.

We introduce internalized heterosexist racism (IHR), or the internalization of damaging stereotypes, harmful beliefs, and negative attitudes about being a sexual minority person of color. We also present the initial development and validation of the Brief Internalized Heterosexist Racism Scale for gay and bisexual Black men (IHR-GBBM), a unidimensional, 10-item measure of IHR. Exploratory factor analyses on an internet-obtained sample of gay and bisexual Black men (N = 312; Mean age = 30.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the risks associated with performing simultaneous stoma reversal and incisional hernia repair compared to stoma reversal alone.
  • It analyzed data from 504 patients and found that combined surgery led to higher rates of surgical complications but no significant differences in mortality, hospital stays, or readmission rates.
  • The conclusion recommends considering a stepwise approach to surgeries to reduce the risk of complications, as synchronous procedures may elevate the likelihood of adverse outcomes.

Infection following inguinal hernia repair (IHR) is uncommon. Rational use of antibiotics can significantly improve the prognosis of patients. However, accurately identifying the pathogen involved is usually challenging.

Purpose: Inguinal hernia (IH) is detected in approximately 33% of RALP's either pre or intraoperatively wherein all are repaired during RALP to circumvent future herniorrhaphy (Fukuta et al., Urology 68(2):267-271, 2006; Nielsen, Urology 66(5):1034-1037, 2005). Some debate this policy by quoting the potential risk of mesh lying close to the vesicourethral anastomosis leading to infections and adhesions.
