https://www.selleckchem.com/ There was a considerable heterogeneity among the cases 12 protheses were fixed (T0), 6 were loosened (T1) and 2 were associated with a soft tissue defect (T2). Biofilm formation was considered immature in 7 cases (N0). Out of the PJIs, 13 were considered to be associated with mature biofilm formation. Out of the patients, 9 were systemically not or only mildly compromised (M0), 7 patients moderately (M1) and 3 patients (M2) severely compromised. One patient refused surgical treatment (M3a). Recurrent infections (r) were diagnosed in three cases. Conclusions The principles of the TNM classification from oncology can also be used for the classification of PJIs. Despite the limited number of cases in this study, a considerable heterogeneity of the evaluated PJIs is shown, which is a phenomenon that is also known from clinical practice. This heterogeneity can be adequately addressed by this new classification, which might be beneficial in decision-making in the future.Introduction and hypothesis Risk factors can be used to determine what patients will develop delayed postoperative urinary retention after female pelvic reconstructive surgery. Methods A case-control study was performed including all female pelvic reconstructive surgeries necessitating a voiding trial. All patients passed their previous voiding trial. Cases had an acute encounter for urinary retention. Controls did not have acute postoperative urinary retention. Cases and controls were stratified based on procedure. Demographics, medical/surgical histories, voiding symptoms, urodynamic testing, and intraoperative data were collected. Cases were matched to controls in a 13 ratio. Mann-Whitney U and chi-square tests were used for univariate analyses; logistic regression was used to determine predictors of delayed postoperative urinary retention (DPOUR). Results A total of 1219 patients underwent pelvic reconstructive surgery that met eligibility; 51 cases of DPOUR (4.3%) were ide
