These findings confirm that conservative management requires prolonged duration and achieves suboptimal therapeutic efficacy for pediatric periappendiceal abscess; whereas laparoscopic surgery more effectively enhances patients’ immune function, accelerates inflammation resolution, improves treatment outcomes, and significantly shortens clinical management duration, thereby providing precise guidance for clinical decision-making. However, as a single-center retrospective study with limited sample size, further validation through large-scale prospective studies is warranted.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1972877 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1972877 2026-10-14T00:00:00Z Case Report Loes H.

The primary outcome was the change in IPSS at 3 months postoperatively; secondary outcomes included Qmax, post-void residual urine volume (PVR), quality of life (QoL) score, perioperative safety parameters, and functional preservation outcomes (urinary continence and ejaculatory function at 6 months).ResultsAll 52 patients (mean age 67.8 ± 7.2 years; mean prostate volume 93.7 ± 15.2 mL) successfully underwent FP-PKEP without conversion. Mean operative time was 72.5 ± 15.8 min; postoperative hemoglobin decrease was 9.8 ± 4.2 g/L; catheterization duration was 2.8 ± 0.9 days; and hospital stay was 4.2 ± 1.3 days. At 3 months, IPSS decreased from 26.1 ± 3.0 to 6.8 ± 2.6 (P < 0.001), and Qmax increased from 7.2 ± 1.6 to 21.2 ± 4.5 mL/s (P < 0.001). Transient stress urinary incontinence occurred in 4 patients (7.7%), all requiring no more than one pad per day and resolving within 1 month without surgical intervention. Among the 16 patients who were sexually active before surgery, antegrade ejaculation was preserved in 14 (87.5%) and suspected retrograde ejaculation was recorded in 2 (12.5%). No clinically apparent cases of permanent urinary incontinence, bladder neck contracture, or urethral stricture were observed during the 6-month follow-up.ConclusionsIn this uncontrolled case series, FP-PKEP showed a favorable safety profile and achieved significant relief of bladder outlet obstruction, with promising early urinary continence and ejaculatory outcomes. The systematic preservation of the bladder neck and 12 o'clock urethral mucosa warrants further evaluation in prospective randomized controlled trials, as these preliminary findings are exploratory and hypothesis-generating.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1921693 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1921693 2026-10-14T00:00:00Z Original Research Yudi N.

Adjusted risk ratios (aRRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using modified Poisson regression with robust variance in a prespecified model restricted to preoperative variables.ResultsOf 540 records screened, 422 patients were eligible. Median postoperative stay was 2.4 days (IQR, 1.0–3.8), and 158 patients (37.4%) stayed >3 days. Higher risk was observed for age 45–64 years (aRR, 1.51; 95% CI, 1.09–2.10), age ≥65 years (aRR, 1.95; 95% CI, 1.37–2.76), diabetes mellitus (aRR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.02–1.67), and ASA IV–V status (aRR, 1.50; 95% CI, 1.04–2.16). Hypertension and active smoking showed inverse associations and require cautious interpretation. Postoperative complications occurred in 111 patients (26.3%) and were analyzed descriptively.ConclusionOlder age, diabetes mellitus, and higher preoperative ASA status were associated with prolonged postoperative stay. These findings warrant prospective validation and should not be interpreted as causal.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1944873 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1944873 2026-10-14T00:00:00Z Case Report Gaochao GuoZongzong MaLiming ZhaoTao GaoYuxue SunZiqiang LiuYang LiuChaoyue Li https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1931071 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1931071 2026-10-13T00:00:00Z Original Research Bo ZhouZhibo SongNi BiLi ZhangZhiyue ShiTao LiChengquan CaoZhi ZhaoYingsong Wang https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1898654 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsurg.2026.1898654 2026-10-13T00:00:00Z Original Research Ji-Feng ZhangChun-Tu WenNing-Shi ZhangGan-Kun WangShun-Kang ZhengPei-De LiangXiao-Qian LuoQi-Yan LiShang-Jun ZhouJun Liu
