Preoperative identification of small parathyroid adenomas—better done by fluorocholine positron emission tomography/computed tomography

SPECT/CT versus PET/CT in a patient with a small PA. After an inconclusive SPECT/CT exam (left image) in a patient with primary hyperparathyroidism, only PET/CT imaging (right image) was able to detect the adenoma. The location is indicated by a white arrow. A small adenoma was confirmed by pathology. SPECT/CT, single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography; PET/CT, positron emission tomography/computed tomography; PA, parathyroid adenoma.

A new histopathological location of parathyroid gland with high possibility of unintended parathyroidectomy

Histopathological locations of parathyroid glands in specimens of thyroidectomy (hematoxylin & eosin stain). (A) Completely buried parathyroid gland in the parenchyme of thyroid, (B) partially buried parathyroid gland in the parenchyme of thyroid, (C) subcapsular parathyroid gland, and (D) extracapsular parathyroid glands. Arrowheads: parathyroid gland.

Surgical treatment of breast cancer related lymphedema—the combined approach: a literature review

LS combined with LVA. (A) A 52-year-old post mastectomy patient who suffers from non-pitting BCRL stage 3 (ISL). MRL demonstrated predominant fat content thus a combined reductive with physiologic surgery was proposed (functional lymphatic vessels in the distal arm). (B,C) Per-operative images. LVA (C) was performed in the dorsal wrist (yellow arrow, B). LS, liposuction; LVA, lymphaticovenular anastomosis; BCRL, breast cancer related lymphedema; ISL, International Society of Lymphology staging system; MRL, magnetic resonance lymphangiography.

Current status of autologous breast reconstruction in Europe: how to reduce donor site morbidity

The surgical perforator dissection. (A) The perforator is freed for muscle and deep fascia and muscle is retracted using Lone Star Elastic Hook. (B) A cotton Q-tip is very useful to free perforator and intercostal nerves from the rectus muscle. (C) The main pedicle is dissected under the rectus abdominis muscle using surgical retractors without extending the deep fascia incision. (D) The perforator/pedicle dissection with 6 cm fascia-incision which is usually closed towards the midline in order to be included in the rectus abdominis plicature suture.
