Suskind AM, et al. - In this retrospective cohort study, researchers assessed the outcomes of minor urological surgery (cystoscopy, bladder biopsy, transurethral resection of bladder tumor, prostate biopsy, transurethral resection of prostate, removal of ureteral obstruction, suprapubic tube placement) among nursing home (NH) residents aged 65 and older in the United States between 2004 and 2012 (N=34,605). Findings highlighted low complexity of minor urological procedures but high mortality was observed among NH residents. In many NH residents, a sustained functional decline was also observed up to 1-year postoperatively.
