This study aimed to compare morbidity of living donors and recipients after pure laparoscopic donor right hepatectomy (PLDRH) and open donor right hepatectomy (ODRH). ⋯ PLDRH could become the standard for donor right hepatectomy with careful consideration of portal and biliary variations for donor and recipient safety.

To determine the impact of prolonged storage of donor lungs at 10°C of up to 24h on outcome after lung transplantation. ⋯ Prolonged static preservation of donor lungs at 10°C for up to 24 hours is safe and does not impair short-intermediate outcomes after lung transplantation.
-
We hypothesize that recurrence following pleurectomy decortication (PD) is primarily local. We explored factors associated with tumor recurrence patterns, disease-free interval (DFI), and post-recurrence survival (PRS). ⋯ PM is frequently associated with local recurrence. Repeat surgical resection is feasible and can achieve good local control in selected cases.
-
To characterize contemporary surgeons' viewpoints and perspectives on the academic mission during healthcare corporatization. ⋯ Corporatization has had a profound impact on surgeons' perceptions of their roles, responsibilities, and autonomy. Surgical departments must take intentional steps to preserve the multidimensional mission of the academic surgeon.

To assess the impact of parathyroid gland autotransplantation on the restoration of parathyroid function in patients who are hypoparathyroid after thyroidectomy. ⋯ Parathyroid autotransplantation does not enhance recovery in hypoparathyroid patient's post-thyroidectomy and does not significantly alter outcomes among patients with PACU PTH<10 .
