D鈥橝gostino and colleagues evaluate the performance of
3-dimensional virtual neck exploration as a modality for preoperative
localization of parathyroid adenomas in primary hyperparathyroidism
and assess the feasibility of using augmented reality to guide parathyroidectomy
as a step toward minimally invasive image-guided surgery. Peter Angelos,
MD, PhD, provides an invited critique.

Lucas and Ledgerwood assessed the effects of the fresh frozen
plasma (FFP) to red blood cell (RBC) ratio and balanced electrolyte
solution to RBC ratio during resuscitation of severely injured patients
on the duration of the postoperative fluid uptake period (phase 2)
as well as the fluid needs, weight gain, and hypoprotenemia in phase
2. Lewis Flint, MD, provides an invited critique.

Adam and colleagues compare preservation with the division of
the splenic vessels in the surgical management of laparoscopic spleen-preserving
distal pancreatectomy. They studied 55 patients who underwent splenic
vessel preservation and 85 patients who underwent the Warshaw technique.

Felder and colleagues reviewed their experience with short-limb
Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy and examined the short-term and long-term
outcomes following this procedure, as well as the success of future
biliary interventions. Brendan C. Visser, MD, provides an invited

In a multicenter randomized controlled trial, Eker et al compare
laparoscopic vs open ventral incisional hernia repair with regard
to postoperative pain and nausea, operative results, perioperative

Wee et al examine the expectations of patients seeking weight
loss surgery and their acceptance of mortality risk. Patient characteristics
and perceptions associated with high weight loss expectations and
willingness to assume risk are explored.

outcomes following operative and nonoperative reinterventions between
high- and low-mortality gastroesophageal cancer surgical units in
England.
