Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) is a common complication of anorectal surgery. This study was to determine the incidence of POUR in anorectal surgery for benign anorectal diseases, identify its risk factors, and establish a nomogram for prediction of POUR. ⋯ For patients undergoing anorectal surgery for benign anorectal diseases, preventive measures can be taken to reduce the risk of POUR, taking into account the following risk factors: female or male with BPH, severe postoperative pain, PCEA, and surgery time > 30 min. Furthermore, we developed and validated an easy-to-use nomogram for preoperative prediction of POUR in anorectal surgery for benign anorectal diseases.

There are reports of safe cataract surgery in eyes with posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy (PPCD); however, to our knowledge, there are no reports of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) in eyes with PPCD. Herein, we report a case of poor intraoperative visibility with gonioscopy, postoperative corneal edema, and corneal astigmatism in eyes with PPCD treated with trabecular micro-bypass stent combined with cataract surgery. ⋯ Although reports have shown that cataract surgery can be safely performed in eyes with PPCD, MIGS in eyes with PPCD may require caution regarding intraoperative visibility with gonioscopy and visual function in the early postoperative period.

Does surgeon or hospital volume influence outcome in dedicated colorectal units?-A Viennese perspective.
A clear relationship between higher surgeon volume and improved outcomes has not been convincingly established in rectal cancer surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of individual surgeon's caseload and hospital volume on perioperative outcome. ⋯ Treating center standards impacted on outcome, while individual caseload of surgeons or mode of surgery did not independently affect complication rates in this analysis. The majority of rectal cancer resections are performed by a small number of surgeons in Viennese hospitals.

Examine the association between prior SARS-CoV-2 infection, interval from infection to surgery, and adverse surgical outcomes. ⋯ In a contemporary surgical cohort, patients with prior SARS-CoV-2 infection only had increased postoperative mortality or complications when they had surgery within 14 days after the positive test. These findings support revising timing recommendations between surgery and prior SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Multicenter StudyIs General Anesthesia for Peripheral Vascular Surgery Correlated with Impaired Outcome in Patients with Cardiac Comorbidity? A Closer Look into the Nationwide Danish Cohort.
General anesthesia (GA) may impair outcome after vascular surgery. The use of anticoagulant medication is often used in patients with cardiac comorbidity. Regional anesthesia (RA) requires planning of discontinuation before neuraxial blockade(s) in this subgroup. This study aimed to describe the effect of anesthesia choice on outcome after vascular surgery in patients with known cardiac comorbidity. ⋯ RA may be associated with a better outcome than GA after lower extremity vascular surgery in patients with a cardiac comorbidity. Prioritizing RA, despite the inconvenience of discontinuing anticoagulants, may be recommended.
