Robotic surgery has become a safe and effective approach for the treatment of pulmonary surgical pathology. However, the adoption of new surgical techniques requires the evaluation of the learning curve. The objective of this study is to analyze the learning curve of robotic anatomical lung resections.

Retrospective analysis of all robotic anatomical lung resections performed by the same surgeon between June 2018 and March 2020. The learning curve was evaluated using CUSUM charts to estimate trend changes in surgical time, surgical failure and the occurrence of post-operative cardiorespiratory complications throughout the sequence of cases.

The study included a total of 73 cases. The median duration of all complications was 120min (interquartile range 90-150min), the prevalence of surgical failure was 23.29%, while 4/73 patients had any postoperative cardiorespiratory complication. Based on the CUSUM analysis, the learning curve was divided into 3 different phases phase i (from the first to the 14th intervention), phase ii (between the 15th and 30th intervention) and phase iii (from the 31st intervention).

The learning curve for robotic anatomical lung resections can be divided into 3 phases. The technical competence that guarantees satisfactory perioperative outcomes was achived in phase iii from the 31st intervention.

Varicocele affects 15% of adolescents. The main postoperative complications are recurrence and hydrocele; nerve injury is rarely reported.

The aims of this study are to assess the complications after laparoscopic varicocelectomy, namely nerve injury; and to assess if nerve injury is more frequent using "hot" or "cold" ligation.

Retrospective study of varicocele cases submitted to laparoscopic correction in our department from April 2006 to March 2020. Parameters analyzed were age, clinical findings, surgical indication, operative technique, and outcomes. Comparison was done between the "cold" versus "hot" vessel section technique.

110 patients, with median age 14-years-old, were included. Most cases were on the left side and grade 3. Fifty patients (45%) presented complications 21% recurrence; 18% hydrocele; and 3% genitofemoral nerve injury. Nerve injury was independent of the technique used.

Genitofemoral nerve injury is a complication with unknown cause and all cases are related to laparoscopic twareness for this problem is of paramount importance.

During the last decades, the development of the modern disposable diaper (DD) has changed the way we diaper our children, as they are safe, easy to use, comfortable and easy to dispose, compared to cloth diapers used earlier. Concurrently, the age of initiating toilet training (TT) is rising. We aimed to investigate the connection between DD usage and the tendencies seen in TT and childhood urinary incontinence, with specific interest on studies evaluating the effect of diapering on enuresis.

A literature search was conducted in PubMed and Embase. A systematic literature search was conducted, revealing 309 studies in Embase and 269 studies in Pubmed. After removing duplicates, 400 studies were eligible for screening. All abstracts were screened, and 12 relevant abstracts where identified, but only eight studies were eligible. No prospective intervention studies specifically evaluating the effect of diaper on enuresis were identified. Literature on TT and diapers in general was identified using the respective search terms on both databases.

The eight studies identified showed a tendency towards diaper use being related to a delay on obtaining continence in children, but no secure conclusions can be made, as the literature is inadequate.

Based on the available literature no secure conclusions can be drawn although an association is suggested. In order to evaluate the effect of diapers on incontinence, prospective randomized studies are needed.

Despite many technical advances the debate continues on single versus staged procedures for proximal hypospadias. In this systematic review and meta-analysis we have compared the contemporary outcomes of proximal hypospadias repair single stage foreskin pedicle tube (FPT) versus two stage foreskin free graft (FFG) and two-stage foreskin pedicled flap (FPF) over the last decade.

A systematic literature review of publications in English of the following electronic databases was conducted Cochrane Database, PUBMED, MEDLINE and EMBASE. The following keywords were used (proximal) AND (hypospadias) AND (repair OR urethroplasty) AND (outcomes OR complications). The publication date range for studies was from January 2010 to December 2020. buy BTK inhibitor Outcomes analyzed were complications like urethro-cutaneous fistula (UCF), glans dehiscence (GD), meatal stenosis (MS), urethral stricture (US), urethral diverticulum (UD), recurrent curvature or residual chordee (RC), buried penis (BP) and poor cosmesis (PC) as per objective a concept of dedicated hypospadias centres.The role of the expert witness is clear in the eyes of the court but that understanding is less consistent for the medical professionals who may be called on in this capacity. The fundamental key is the clinician's purpose in using their experience, knowledge and training as they provide the court with an unbiased assessment of the clinical issues that have arisen in the case. Using the Australian context, this article provides guidance for clinicians who are asked to provide the court with their expertise through written and spoken representations, drawing upon experience and the use of the "Expert Witness Code of Conduct".Increased breast density is a risk factor for breast cancer and can mask cancer on mammography. This survey attempts to understand clinician views regarding breast density notification in the United Kingdom. Two separate breast density surveys were distributed to radiologists and breast surgeons between May 2019 and May 2020. Invited participants were members of the British Society of Breast Radiology and the Association of Breast Surgeons. We received 232 completed questionnaires from 109 surgeons (71%) and 123 radiologists (41%). Fourteen percent of the surgeons reported discussing the increased risk of developing cancer with their patients, and 20% of the surgeons recommended further imaging compared with 50% of the radiologists. Fifty-two percent of surgeons and 28% of radiologists felt women should not be informed of their breast density scores considering the lack of National Health Service-funded supplementary imaging. Almost all respondents of this survey called for guidelines regarding the reporting and management of UK patients with increased breast density (90%).
