Incidental parathyroidectomy during total thyroidectomy and functional parathyroid preservation: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: The published rate of incidental parathyroidectomy (IP) during thyroid surgery varies between 5.8% and 29%. The risk factors and clinical significance of postoperative transient hypocalcemia and permanent hypoparathyroidism are still debated.

Depacked patients who underwent a shortened perihepatic packing for severe blunt liver trauma have a high survival rate: 20 years of experience in a level I trauma center.

Introduction: Non-operative management is currently the preferred approach in blunt liver trauma, including high grade liver lesions. However, hemodynamic instability imposes the need for an emergency laparotomy, with a perihepatic packing (PHP) to control liver bleeding in most cases. Our retrospective study aimed to assess the outcomes of liver trauma patients who underwent a shortened PHP.

A pragmatic approach to the characterization and effective treatment of male patients with postprostatectomy incontinence.

Purpose Of Review: To highlight the recent developments in the past 12 months in the field of postprostatectomy incontinence.

Recent Findings: The evaluation of postprostatectomy incontinence is mainly based on clinical details and symptoms assessment. The situation in which urodynamics will change the management and influence clinical decision-making is still unknown.
