Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism is the third most common endocrine disease. The aim of our study was to determine long-term outcomes and risk factors for persistence in patients undergoing parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism.
Methods: Retrospective study including patients undergoing parathyroidectomy between 2009-2019.
Six-year experience of microvascular free-flap reconstruction of head and neck neoplasms.

Article Synopsis
- Microvascular free-flap reconstruction is a surgical option for patients undergoing large resections of head and neck tumors, with a study examining short-term outcomes and complications following this procedure.
- A retrospective analysis of 31 patients between 2014 and 2020 revealed a 35% rate of flap complications, with surgical site infections significantly linked to longer surgery times and higher body mass index.
- The findings suggest that while this reconstruction technique is viable, careful evaluation of potential postoperative risks is crucial for patient selection.
Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism is the third most common endocrine disease. The aim of our study was to determine long-term outcomes and risk factors for persistence in patients undergoing parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism.
Methods: Retrospective study including patients undergoing parathyroidectomy between 2009- 2019.
Background: Laparoscopic colectomy (LC) presents similar short-term results and oncological outcomes to conventional colectomy (CC) in colon cancer.
Objectives: Compare short-term and oncological outcomes at 3-year follow up between LC and CC.
Materials And Methods: Patients who underwent LC and CC for colon cancer between January 2010 and December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.
Risk factors for surgical site infection in colon surgery in our population.
Rev Fac Cien Med Univ Nac Cordoba
November 2018
Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) is the most common nosocomial infection in surgical patients with an incidence that varies between 5-30%.
Objective: Identify the risk factors for SSI in colonic surgery in our population. The secondary aims are to determine the incidence and type of SSI, as well as the incidence of an anastomotic leakage (AL).
