Abstract
The survey response rate was 69% (46/67); 85% were practicing endocrine surgeons and 15% were fellows. In all, 72% of respondents completed an endocrine surgery fellowship, 17% completed surgical oncology, and the remaining individuals completed no fellowship. The mean age was 38 (32-49) years; 39%...

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Founded in 1861 as a German language scientific forum of exchange for European surgeons, Langenbeck's Archives of Surgery quickly advanced to become the premier journal of thyroid surgery before World War I, serving as a point of crystallization for the emerging discipline of endocrine...

Abstract
The mode of treatment best for undescended testes is controversial, and local traditions often override knowledge gained from randomized controlled studies. In order to reach a consensus within the Nordic countries on the current state-of-the-art of treatment, a group of specialists in testicular ph...

We concluded that it is necessary to individualize the surgical approach for HRPT2-related hyperparathyroidism until we can gather a better phenotype-genotype correlation in larger series, to best define their treatment....

Abstract
The multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndromes are rare autosomal-dominant conditions that predispose affected individuals to benign and malignant tumors of the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroids, adrenals, endocrine pancreas, paraganglia, or nonendocrine organs. The classic MEN syndromes include ME...

Abstract
The main outcome measures were total number of residents and programs and the volume and distribution of operations performed. For adrenalectomy, the average number of cases per resident was 1.46; for endocrine pancreas, the average was 0.14. The most common number of any of these procedures perform...

Abstract
Accidental injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve is a common complication of thyroid surgery. Different mechanisms of injury have been described, such as mechanical, electrical, or thermal. Retrosternal operations, secondary bleeding requiring wound revision, or neoplastic tumors are also frequent...

Recent studies have focused on such important issues as the use of the Internet in medicine, patient quality of life, cost-effectiveness of emerging surgical technologies, and labor-force modeling. There is a need for accurate and informative websites dedicated to thyroid disease, given the large nu...

Abstract
Malignant phaeochromocytomas are rare tumours accounting for ~10% of all phaeochromocytomas; the prevalence of malignancy among paragangliomas is higher, especially those associated with succinate dehydrogenase subunit B gene mutations. Although a subset of these tumours has metastatic disease at in...

Abstract
A total of 70 telemedicine sessions were held between 2001 and 2005. They included tele-education and surgical treatment planning (n = 44), tele-consultation including tele-pathology and tele-radiology (n = 26), and tele-surgical conferences/CME (n = 6). The number of endocrine surgical cases perfor...

Abstract
Overall rates of mortality and any morbidity were low and consistent with previous reports. Based on adjusted OR, there was no significant difference in outcomes for thyroid versus parathyroid operation. Similarly, there was no apparent significant difference in surgical outcomes between the VA and...

Abstract
Reoperative thyroid surgery may be necessary in recurrent simple goiters, thyrotoxicosis and especially cancers of the thyroid gland. The present series reviewed 33 cases representing 7.3 % from our experience consisting of 440 thyroid operations. Five patients had undergone two prior operation. Det...

Abstract
Insulinoma is considered the most common endocrine tumour of the pancreas with an annual prevalence of 4 cases per million people. Contrary to the other endocrine tumours of this organ, over 90% of the insulinomas are benign in nature. The clinical presentation of this neoplasm depends on excessive...

Simplified reconstruction of the sella floor using only sphenoid bone without intrasellar packing is thought to be safe and effective. This technique obviates the need for a second surgical incision, risk of overpacking, complications associated with packing material and interference on postoperativ...

Abstract
Due to their neuroanatomical courses, the following extralaryngeal nerves may be at risk in thyroid surgery: the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve, the paralaryngeal part of the vagal nerve, the Ansa Galeni, the trunk of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) and the delicate branches of...

Abstract
Non-inflammatory cystic lesions of the pancreas are increasingly recognized. Two distinct entities have been defined, i.e., intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) and mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN). Ovarian-type stroma has been proposed as a requisite to distinguish MCN from IPMN. Some other...

1. In differentiated thyroid carcinoma the prognosis is related to the extent of operation only in patients staged more than T1M0. 2. A delay > 12 months in completion surgery in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (tumors > 1 cm of diameter) significantly increases the risk of progression o...

An endocrine surgical unit allows more efficient management of thyroidectomy. It increases the rate of total thyroidectomy, reduces definitive complications and improves training of resident surgeons. In addition, it reduces resource use and allows the development of programs of outpatient thyroid s...

Students with exposure to endocrine surgery had a 2-fold improvement in endocrine exam test scores (P = 0.001) compared to students on other general surgery services. There was no difference in vascular exam scores between students on different surgical rotations, reflecting the fact that all studen...

We know it today, others would argue that it has and will continue to lead to a stronger division and a higher standard of care. Most would argue that a higher standard of care in focus areas stimulates research and research, in turn, improves the quality of education and training. Ultimately, impro...

Abstract
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a rare malignancy with several distinctive features that distinguish its management from other thyroid cancers. First, MTC may be sporadic (75% of cases), or may occur as a manifestation of the hereditary syndrome Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 2 (MEN 2) (25%...

In a Yemeni population, which has a high prevalence of iodine deficiency, 21% of patients operated on for nodular goiter without pre-operative fine needle aspiration biopsy had thyroid cancer, mostly of the papillary type. In this study, males and elderly patients with goiter had a higher chance of...

We measured palmar skin temperature and blood flow (via laser Doppler flowmetry) throughout the sympathectomy procedure. Five minutes after the initial cautery, skin blood flow increased from 48 +/- 7 perfusion units to 121 +/- 17 perfusion units (P <0.001), whereas no significant change in temperat...

Abstract
As a whole, abdominal surgeons possess excellent videoendoscopic surgical skills. However, the limitations of laparoscopy-such as reduced range of motion and instrument dexterity and 2-dimensional view of the operative field-have inspired even the most accomplished laparoscopists to investigate the...

Abstract
Differential diagnosis of hypoglycemic patients should include insulinoma. Plasma insulin-to-glucose ratio greater than 0.3 or C-peptide levels of 2 nmol/L or greater suggest insulinoma. Abdominal CT scan can exclude metastatic disease and identify uncommonly large islet cell tumors, but has poor se...

Abstract
In future clinical application, intraoperative fluorescence diagnosis is expected to increase the ease of identification of atypically located or supernumeric glands. In combination with preoperative diagnostics, this may result in reduced operation time and avoidance of persistent hypercalcaemia....

Two of 24 patients (8.3%) had papillary thyroid cancer, which was diagnosed from aspirates of 31 nodular lesions and confirmed by operative pathologic findings. CONCLUSION: If a patient with Hashimoto's thyroiditis has nodular lesions shown by ultrasonography, ultrasound-guided FNAC is helpful in el...

Abstract
In this sample, surgeons whose practice was comprised of 25% or less of these endocrine procedures performed 11,071 parathyroidectomies (78% of total), 46,210 thyroidectomies (82% of total), and 4209 adrenalectomies (94% of total). In contrast, surgeons whose practice was comprised of more than 75%...
