Article Abstract
Objective: This study evaluates surgical outcomes in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients undergoing transurethral enucleation using various holmium laser (HoLEP) settings and/or bipolar devices (BipoLEP).
Design: This study was retrospective.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 158 BPH patients treated surgically, categorized by method: BipoLEP ( = 28), HoLEP with short pulse (HoLEP-SP, = 26), HoLEP with long pulse and low energy (HoLEP-LP/LE, = 29), HoLEP with long pulse and high energy (HoLEP-LP/HE, = 26), HoLEP using Moses technology (HoLEP-Mo, = 19), and a combination of HoLEP and BipoLEP (HoLEP-mix, = 30). We assessed enucleation, morcellation, coagulation, and overall operation efficiency, along with complications at immediate, 2-week, and 3-month postoperative intervals.
Results: The HoLEP-LP/LE group exhibited the highest overall operation efficiency ( < 0.05). The BipoLEP and HoLEP-SP groups had lower enucleation efficiency ( < 0.05). HoLEP-LP/LE and BipoLEP showed superior coagulation efficiency ( < 0.05). Excluding hard nodule cases, the HoLEP-mix group had reduced morcellation efficiency compared to HoLEP-LP/LE ( < 0.05). Complication rates did not significantly differ between groups ( > 0.05).
Conclusion: The HoLEP-LP/LE procedure demonstrated superior performance in enucleation, morcellation, coagulation, and overall operation efficiency. Complication rates were comparable across all groups. BipoLEP, while less efficient in enucleation than some HoLEP settings, proved effective and safe. In addition, the Moses technology may offer enhanced bleeding control.

Bariatric Surgery and Incident Development of Obesity-Related Comorbidities.
JAMA Netw Open
September 2025
Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.
Importance: As obesity rates rise in the US, managing associated metabolic comorbidities presents a growing burden to the health care system. While bariatric surgery has shown promise in mitigating established metabolic conditions, no large studies have quantified the risk of developing major obesity-related comorbidities after bariatric surgery.
Objective: To identify common metabolic phenotypes for patients eligible for bariatric surgery and to estimate crude and adjusted incidence rates of additional metabolic comorbidities associated with bariatric surgery compared with weight management program (WMP) alone.
Purpose: The purpose of this document is to review current methods for cervical ripening and to summarize the effectiveness of these approaches based on appropriately conducted outcomes-based research. This document focuses on cervical ripening in individuals with term, singleton, vertex pregnancies with membranes intact, because this is the population in whom most studies were conducted. For more information on recommended timing of delivery based on maternal, fetal, and obstetric conditions and on labor management, refer to: American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) Committee Opinion No.

Background And Objectives: Explore whether community social capital measures (system of resources available to individuals through community engagement) are related to surgical outcomes among intracranial tumor patients.
Methods: Adults who underwent resection at a single medical center for intracranial tumor was identified and their zip codes were matched to three variables derived from the Social Capital Atlas: economic connectedness, volunteering rate, and civic organizations. The economic connectedness score quantifies the degree to which low-income and high-income community members are friends with each other, the volunteering rate is defined as the proportion of a given community engaged in community organizations and the civic organization score is defined as the number of local civic organizations within a given community.
Role of patient frailty in resection of newly diagnosed motor eloquent glioblastomas guided by a navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation and tractography approach.

Department of Neurosurgery, Paracelsus Medical University, Breslauer Straße 201, 90471, Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany.
Purpose: Resection of glioblastomas infiltrating the motor cortex and corticospinal tract (CST) is often linked to increased perioperative morbidity. Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) motor mapping has been advocated to increase patient safety in these cases. The additional impact of patient frailty on overall outcome after resection of cases with increased risk for postoperative motor deficits as identified with nTMS needs to be investigated.

Awake craniotomy is the gold standard to achieve maximal safe resection of brain lesions located within eloquent areas. There are no established guidelines to assess patient's eligibility for awake craniotomy by weight class. This study assesses feasibility, safety, and efficacy of awake surgery by weight classes through an observational, retrospective, single-institution cohort analysis (2010-2024) of 526 awake craniotomies.
