698 Background: Increasing cardiovascular disease has led to increases in the patient population on anti-platelet therapy who require urologic surgery. We sought to study perioperative outcomes for those undergoing partial nephrectomy (PN) while taking or not taking perioperative aspirin (pASA). Methods: A retrospective review of those undergoing PN was performed on the Premier Hospital Database from 2003 to 2015, with survey projection weighting resulting in a cohort of 10,807 patients. Two groups were formed – those continued on pASA (group 1, n = 774) and those with no pASA (group 2, n = 10,033). In-hospital complication rates were studied: major bleeding, overall transfusion, day-of-surgery transfusion, prolonged ( > 4 days) length of stay (LOS), and prolonged ( > 285 minutes) operative time. We also assessed 90-day rates of: cardiovascular catastrophe, readmission, major complication, and DVT/PE. Unadjusted rates were calculated for all PN patients and further subdivided into open and minimally invasive PN. Adjusted odds ratios (OR) were then calculated between groups 1 and 2. Results: Group 1 was older (58% vs 38% ≥65 years, p < 0.0001), largely male (73.1% vs 58.7%, p = 0.001), and less healthy (34.8% vs 18.4% with a CCI score ≥2, p = 0.003) than to group 2. For in-hospital outcomes, no significant differences were noted. Stratifying by surgical approach, those in group 1 undergoing minimally invasive PN were slightly less likely to require a day-of-surgery transfusion (OR 0.29, CI [0.05-0.99], p < 0.05). For 90-day outcomes, group 1 were far more likely to suffer a cardiovascular catastrophe (OR 7.56, CI [3.38-16.92], p < 0.001) regardless of surgical approach. Conversely, group 1 was slightly less likely to experience readmission (OR 0.48, CI [0.24-0.94], p < 0.05) and was likely driven by those undergoing minimally invasive PN. Conclusions: This large review of academic and community hospitals provides insight into the impact perioperative ASA has on PN outcomes. As noted, in-hospital outcomes were largely equivalent between groups while 90-day cardiovascular catastrophe rates were much higher in the ASA group. Despite this, this study lends support to the belief that pASA should not be considered an absolute contraindication to PN.

150 Background: Increasing cardiovascular disease has led to increases in the patient population on anti-platelet therapy who require urologic surgery. We sought to study perioperative outcomes for those undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP) while taking or not taking perioperative aspirin (pASA). Methods: A retrospective review of patients undergoing RP was performed on the Premier Hospital Database from 2003 to 2015, with survey projection weighting resulting in a cohort of 157,674 patients. Two groups were formed – those continued on pASA (group 1, n = 4400) and those with no pASA (group 2, n = 153,274). In-hospital complication rates were studied: major bleeding, overall transfusion, day-of-surgery transfusion, prolonged ( > 4 days) length of stay (LOS), and prolonged ( > 285 minutes) operative time. We also assessed 90-day rates of: cardiovascular catastrophe, readmission, major complication, and DVT/PE. Unadjusted rates were calculated for all RP patients and further subdivided into open and minimally invasive RP. Adjusted odds ratios (OR) were then calculated between groups 1 and 2. Results: Group 1 was older (51.5% vs 41.8% ≥65 years, p = 0.002) and less healthy (13.8% vs 5.3% with a CCI score ≥2, p < 0.0001) vs those in group 2. Group 1 patients were more likely to receive an open RP (42.3% vs 28.1%, p < 0.0001). For in-hospital outcomes for all RPs, no significant differences were noted regardless of surgical approach. For 90-day outcomes, those in group 1 were more likely to suffer a MI (OR 5.88, CI [3.4-10.18], p < 0.001), major complication (OR2.95, CI [1.58-5.5], p < 0.001), or be readmitted (OR 1.63, CI [1.18-2.26], p < 0.05). The disparity in both MI and major complication rates appeared to be largely driven by those undergoing minimally invasive RPs, with an OR of 7.92 and 4.02 noted, respectively. Conclusions: This large, retrospective, database review of both academic and community hospitals provides an important assessment of the impact pASA has on RP outcomes. In-hospital outcomes were equivalent between groups but those on pASA saw increased rates of MI, major complication, and readmission. Despite this, this study lends support to the belief that pASA should likely not be considered an absolute contraindication to RP.

Paraesophageal hernia repair (PEHR) is burdened by high recurrence rates that frequently lead to redo PEHR. Revisional surgery, because of higher complexity, higher risk of injury, and the intrinsic risk of recurrence, has increased likelihood of higher complication rates and decreased quality of life (QOL) postoperatively. We aimed to compare perioperative outcomes and QOL after revisional and primary PEHR. A retrospective review of all patients who underwent PEHR for a recurrent hernia between January 2011 and July 2016 was completed. These were matched with a contemporary cohort of patients who underwent primary PEHR by age, gender, and BMI. Perioperative measures were compared. The patients were invited to complete the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI) to assess response to surgical intervention. There were 24 patients (group 1) who underwent revisional PEHR, and they were matched to 48 patients (group 2) who had a primary hernia repair. Thirteen patients in group 1 responded to the survey (54%), whereas 21 patients’ responses were received from group 2 (44%). Conversion rates, LOS, and mean Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index scores were significantly different between the two groups. Reoperative procedures for paraesophageal and hiatal hernias are burdened by higher conversion rates and length of stay, with similar overall complication rates. Patients who are undergoing repair of a recurrent hernia should be preoperatively counseled, and should have realistic expectations of their GI QOL after surgery.

Category: Trauma Introduction/Purpose: Ankle fractures are one of the most common fractures. Historically these have been frequently treated by non-specialists and junior staff. In 2011 we presented high malunion rates, which have been mirrored in other departments work. We present the results of system changes to improve the results of ankle fracture fixation Methods: Image intensifier films were reviewed on PACS and scored based on the criteria published by Pettrone et al. At least two blinded assessors assigned scores independently. Patients clinical data was collected from medical records. In 2011 we presented the results of fixation in 94 consecutive patients (Group 1) from 2009. Following this there was period of education in the department to allow change. 68 patients (Group 2) were then reviewed from a 7 month period in 2014 Multiple system changes were introduced in the department including; new treatment algorithms, dedicated foot and ankle trauma lists and clinics, and next day review of all intra-operative radiographs by independent attending. Prospective data was collected on 205 consecutive cases (Group 3) from 01/01/15 – 09/30/16 Results: Patients in group 1 had a malreduction rate of 33%. The major complication rate in this group was 8.5% (8 patients); with only one of these occurred in a correctly reduced fracture. These complications included 4 revision fixations, 2 deep infections and 1 amputation. Following the period of re-education, in Group 2, the mal-reduction rate deteriorated to 43.8%. In this group the major complication rate was 10.9%; including 6 revision fixations and 1 ankle fusion. In Group 3, following overall system changes, the malreduction rate was 2.4%. This result is statistically significant. The major complication rate fell to 0.98%; 1deep infection and 1 amputation (in a polytrauma patient with vascular injury). This result is again statistically significant. Conclusion: Our initial results show that very poor results are a consequence when sufficient attention is not given to what are frequently considered to be ‘simple’ fractures. In group 2 we demonstrated that soft educational changes (eg presentations, emails) are ineffective in improving results. We have demonstrated that hard (institutional system) changes in our department provided statistically significant improvements. These changes allowed the correct surgeon for the fracture in both determining the treatment plan and operating. With these changes, malreduction rates fell from 43.8% to 2.4% and major complication rates from 10.9% to 0.98%

Objectives: While the choice of surgical approach for laparoscopic nephrectomy is broadly split between transperitoneal and retroperitoneal options, the evidence for the impact of this decision on perioperative outcomes is built on relatively small volume data, with often inconsistent findings and conclusions. We aimed to assess the impact of operative approach on perioperative outcomes for laparoscopic radical, partial and simple nephrectomy and nephroureterectomy through analysis of the British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS) Nephrectomy database. Patients and methods: All patients added to the BAUS Nephrectomy database with laparoscopic surgery between 2012 and 2017 inclusively were included and subdivided by operation and surgical approach. Preoperative patient and tumour characteristics, as well as intraoperative and post-operative short-term outcomes, were assessed. Results: Overall, 26,682 operations were documented over the review window (81.6% transperitoneal). Small increases in blood loss ( p = 0.001), transfusion rate ( p = 0.02) and operative length ( p = 0.01) were seen for transperitoneal radical nephrectomies and longer hospital stays seen for retroperitoneal procedures (radical nephrectomy p = 0.00l; partial nephrectomy p = 0.04). Retroperitoneal procedures were associated with increased rates of conversion for simple nephrectomy ( p = 0.02), nephroureterectomy ( p = 0.03) and most notably partial nephrectomy (10.5% versus 4.4%; p = 0.001). No further variation in intraoperative complications, post-operative complications, tumour margin positivity rates, unintended ITU admission, or likelihood of death was identified related to surgical approach. Conclusion: Observed variations in perioperative outcomes were generally modest in nature, and little ground is seen to support a change in operative technique for those committed to one approach. A caveat to this exists with open conversion for retroperitoneal partial nephrectomies and requires careful consideration of patient selection by the individual surgeon. Level of evidence: 4

Objective: To evaluate the effect of age on the success and complications of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in staghorn renal stones. Materials and Methods: The files of 182 patients who underwent single-access PCNL for staghorn renal stones between 2012 and 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups according to their age: those aged<65 years were defined as Group-1 and those aged≥65 years as Group-2. The demographic characteristics and perioperative and postoperative results were compared between the two groups. Results: Of the patients with staghorn renal stones,139 were in Group-1 and 43 were in Group-2. The mean age of the patients was 43.9±10.6 years for Group-1 and 67.8±2.1 years for Group-2(p=0.001). The amount of hemoglobin drop was statistically significantly higher in Group-1 (p=0.001). However, blood transfusion rate was higher in Group-2 than in Group-1 (18.6% and 7.2%, respectively). The stone-free rate was 54.7% in Group-1 and 67.4% in Group-2(p=0.139). According to the evaluation of the overall complication rates,34.5% of the patients in Group-1 and 46.5% of those in Group-2 developed complications(p=0.206). According to the Clavien scoring system, the rate of minor complications was found to be 22.3% in Group-1 and 41.9% in Group-2,and the difference was statistically significant (p=0.012). The major complication rates were determined as 4.7% and 12.2% for Group-1 and Group-2, respectively (p=0.155). The number of patients with Clavien grade-2 complications was statistically higher in the elderly patient group (p=0.019). Conclusions: PCNL can be used as an effective and safe treatment method in the treatment of complex stones in elderly patients.

PURPOSE Muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is an aggressive disease with a complex treatment. In Brazil, as in most developing countries, data are scarce, but mortality seems exceedingly high. We have created a centralization program involving a multidisciplinary clinic in a region comprising seven municipalities. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of a multidisciplinary clinic and a centralization-of-care program (CABEM program) on MIBC treatment in Brazil. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 116 consecutive patients were evaluated. In group 1, 58 patients treated for MIBC before establishing a bladder cancer program from 2011 to 2017 were retrospectively evaluated. Group 2 represented 58 patients treated for MIBC after the implementation of the CABEM centralization program. Age, sex, staging, comorbidity indexes, mortality rates, type of treatment, and perioperative outcomes were compared. RESULTS Patients from group 2 versus 1 were older (68 v 64.2 years, P = .02) with a higher body mass index (25.5 v 22.6 kg/m2, P = .017) and had more comorbidities according to both age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index (4.2 v 2.8, P = .0007) and Isbarn index (60.6 v 43.9, P = .0027). Radical cystectomy (RC) was the only treatment modality for patients in group 1, whereas in group 2, there were 31 (53%) RC; three (5%) partial cystectomies; seven (12%) trimodal therapies; 13 (22%) palliative chemotherapies; and three (5%) exclusive transurethral resections of the bladder tumor. No patient in group 1 received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, whereas it was offered to 69% of patients treated with RC. Ninety-day mortality rates were 34.5% versus 5% for groups 1 versus 2 ( P < .002). One-year mortality was also lower in group 2. CONCLUSION Our data support that a centralization program, a structured bladder clinic associated with protocols, a multidisciplinary team, and inclusion of chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments can pleasingly improve outcomes for patients with MIBC.

<b><i>Purpose:</i></b> With a median age at diagnosis of 73 years, bladder cancer has the highest median age of all cancers. Age alone seems to be an independent risk factor for developing the disease with peak age advancing into the range of 85 years. As demographic changes will lead to an ever more aging population in western countries, incidence of advanced age malignancies will rise. We, therefore, analyzed a contemporary radical cystectomy (RC) series at a single high-volume center on patients undergoing RC for urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB). We aim to evaluate the feasibility of RC in the oldest-old patient cohort by assessing perioperative complications and long-term outcome. <b><i>Materials and Methods:</i></b> We retrospectively analyzed data of 1,278 consecutive patients who underwent RC for UCB at our tertiary referral center between 2004 and 2019. A total of 408 patients were aged 75–97 years at the time of RC and were further divided into 2 groups: 75–84 years of age (group 1) and ≥85 years of age (group 2). Median follow-up was 23 months. Outcome was analyzed using the χ<sup>2</sup> test, Mann-Whitney U test, Kaplan-Meier method, and log-rank test. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Perioperative Clavien-Dindo grade ≥III complications were seen in 25.1% (92/366) of group 1 patients and 35.7% (15/42) of group 2 patients (<i>p</i> = 0.073). Thirty- and 90-day mortality was 3.3 and 8.7% in group 1 and 4.8 and 14.3% in group 2 (<i>p</i> = 0.617 and <i>p</i> = 0.242, respectively). Three-year overall survival was 54.6% in group 1 and 31.3% in group 2 (<i>p</i> = 0.03). Three-year cancer-specific survival was 64.8% in group 1 and 38.8% in group 2 (<i>p</i> = 0.037). Recurrence-free survival was 105 months in group 1 and 12 months in group 2 (<i>p</i> = 0.039). <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b>In light of increasing life expectancy in western nations, we sought to evaluate the impact of age in a large series of elderly patients undergoing RC for UCB. We found that RC offers acceptable perioperative complication rates in the oldest-old patient cohort (≥85 years). Therefore, RC for UCB can be offered as a viable treatment option even in the oldest patients.

Introduction: We evaluated the impact of obesity on perioperative morbidity, functional, and oncological outcomes after radical perineal prostatectomy (RPP).Methods: A total of 298 consecutive patients underwent RPP at our institution. Patients were categorized into 3 groups based on their body mass index (BMI): Normal weight <25 kg/m2 (Group 1), overweight 25 to <30 kg/m2 (Group 2), and obese ≥30 kg/m2 (Group 3). We compared the groups with respect to perioperativedata, postoperative oncologic, and functional outcomes. Evaluation of urinary continence and erectile function was performed using a patient-reported questionnaire and the International Index of Erectile Function-5 questionnaire, respectively, administered preoperatively and at 3, 6, and 12 months. Limitations included shortfollow-up time, retrospective design and lack of a morbidly obese group.Results: No significant differences were found among the 3 groups with regard to operative time, estimated blood loss, length of hospital stay, catheter removal time, positive surgical margin, and complication rates. At 12 months, 94.7%, 95% and 95% of normal, overweight and obese patients, respectively, were continent (freeof pad use) (p = 0.81). At 12 months, 30.6%, 29.8% and 30.4% of patients had spontaneous erections and were able to penetrate and complete intercourse in Group 1, Group 2, and Group 3, respectively (p = 0.63).Conclusions: In this cohort of patients, no clinically relevant risks were associated with increasing BMI.

Abstract Background Minimally invasive adrenalectomy represents the treatment of choice of pheochromocytoma (PCC). For large or invasive PCCs, an open approach is currently recommended, in order to ensure complete tumor resection, prevent tumor rupture, avoid local recurrence, and limit perioperative hemodynamic instability. The aim of this study is to analyze perioperative outcomes of laparoscopic adrenalectomies (LAs) for large adrenal PCCs. Methods All consecutive LAs for PCC performed at a single institution between 1998 and 2020 were included. Two groups were defined: lesions larger (group 1) and smaller (group 2) than 5 cm. Short-term outcomes were compared in order to find any significant difference between the two groups. Outcomes One hundred fourteen patients underwent LA during the study period: 46 for lesions larger and 68 for lesions smaller than 5 cm. No significant differences were found in patients’ characteristics, median operative time, conversion rate, intraoperative hemodynamic and metabolic parameters, postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) admission rate, complications rate, and length of hospital stay. Long-term oncologic outcomes were similar, with a recurrence rate of 5.1% in group 1 vs 3.6% in group 2 (p = 1). Conclusion Minimally invasive adrenalectomy seems to be safe and effective even in large PCC. The recommendation to prefer an open approach for large PCCs should probably be reconsidered.
