We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the safety of benign prostatic hyperplasia wound after surgical removal in subjects on anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy. A systematic literature search up to December 2021 was done and 19 studies included 5715 benign prostatic hyperplasia subjects at the start of the study; 1501 of them were on anticoagulant/antiplatelet therapy, and 4214 were control. We calculated the odds ratio (OR) and mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to evaluate the safety of benign prostatic hyperplasia wound after surgical removal in subjects on anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy by the dichotomous or continuous methods with a random or fixed-influence model. Anticoagulant/antiplatelet therapy had significantly higher bleeding complication (OR, 1.88; 95% CI, 1.36-2.60, P < .001), higher blood transfusion (OR, 2.15; 95% CI, 1.63-2.83, P < .001), lower operation time (MD, À3.53; 95% CI, À6.80-0.27, P = .03), higher catheterization time (MD, 0.30 95% CI, 0.06-0.53, P = .01), longer length of hospital stay (MD, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.37-1.26, P < .001) and higher thromboembolic events (OR, 2.88; 95% CI, 1.26-6.62, P = .01) compared to control in benign prostatic hyperplasia subjects. Anticoagulant/antiplatelet therapy had a significantly higher bleeding complication, higher blood transfusion, lower operation time, higher catheterization time, longer length of hospital stay and higher thromboembolic events compared to control in benign prostatic hyperplasia subjects. Further studies are required.

A meta‐analysis study to assess the outcome of enhanced recovery (ER) after radical cystectomy (RC) on wound dehiscence was performed. A comprehensive literature examination till January 2023 was implemented and 1457 linked studies were appraised. The picked studies contained 772 open RC subjects in the picked studies' baseline, 436 of them were enhanced recovery after RC, and 336 were open RC. Odds ratio (OR) in addition to 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to calculate the consequence of enhanced recovery after RC on wound dehiscence after open RC by the dichotomous styles and a fixed or random model. The ER after RC caused significantly lower wound dehiscence (OR, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.30–0.89, P = .02) with low heterogeneity (I2 = 46%) compared with open RC. The ER after RC caused significantly lower wound dehiscence compared with open RC. Thorough precaution should be taken when commerce with the consequences because a limited number of studies were found and selected for this meta‐analysis.
