TL;DR: Total thyroidectomy appears to be an adequate treatment for clinically node-negative papillary thyroid cancer and prophylactic central neck dissection should be considered for the more appropriate selection of patients for radioiodine treatment and should be reserved for high-risk patients only.

TL;DR: After long-term follow-up, the incidence of trocar site hernias following laparoscopic cholecystectomy was higher than expected and the insertion of large trocars at the umbilical site plays a key role in the development of TSH.

TL;DR: The results show that IONM has a very high sensitivity and negative predictive value, but also good specificity and positive predictive value and in selected patients with LOS, the surgical strategy should be reconsidered.

TL;DR: The authors conclude that the appearance of a lump in the inguinal region associated with subjective and objective changes of the lesion in relation to the menstrual cycle must raise the suspicion of endometriosis among the possible diagnoses.

TL;DR: The results of this meta-analysis do not support the routine use of antibiotic prophylaxis for the open mesh repair of groin hernia, and in clinical settings with unexpectedly high rates of SSIs, the appropriateness of surgical asepsis should be carefully checked.
