Our results provide clinicians, administrators and policy-makers with knowledge of the environmental impact of their decisions to facilitate adoption of sustainable practices.

Side-docking is an alternative to the conventional centre-docking approach in robotic-assisted surgery. Its use may facilitate larger specimen retrieval while decreasing operative time and associated costs.

Community-acquired methicillin-resistant S. aureus genital abscesses are more likely to be the result of colonization, rather than de novo infection, than nongenital abscesses. The effectiveness of individual treatment modalities and rates of recurrence are independent of abscess location, but genital abscesses may indicate the presence of resistant organisms, colonization, or both.
