Primary hyperparathyroidism is the most common cause of hypercalcemia in the outpatient population. This condition is usually the result of a single hyperfunctioning parathyroid gland. Targeted parathyroidectomy guided by intraoperative parathyroid hormone monitoring (IPM) through a small cervical incision has replaced traditional bilateral neck exploration (BNE) as the initial approach in the ...

N-type tracheoesophageal fistula without atresia is a rare congenital tracheoesophageal anomaly.

We have read with interest the report of Legarra et al. [1] regarding the use of an inferior median sternotomy incision in patients with a tracheostomy. We have been able to take advantage of their technique’s description to solve a legal problem. A case of death by hanging was considered adequate for multiorgan transplantation including the heart. In Spain, donation of organs for transplantati...
