TLDR
In this article, the Ricci flow with surgeries was constructed, and a lower bound on the volume of maximal horns and the smoothness of solutions was established. But this lower bound was later shown to be unjustified and irrelevant for the other conclusions.
Abstract
This is a technical paper, which is a continuation of math.DG/0211159. Here we construct Ricci flow with surgeries and verify most of the assertions, made in section 13 of that e-print: the exceptions are (1) the statement that manifolds that can collapse with local lower bound on sectional curvature are graph manifolds - this is deferred to a separate paper, since the proof has nothing to do with the Ricci flow, and (2) the claim on the lower bound for the volume of maximal horns and the smoothness of solutions from some time on, which turned out to be unjustified and, on the other hand, irrelevant for the other conclusions.

Geometrically Accurate Topology-Correction of Cortical Surfaces Using Nonseparating Loops

TL;DR: The proposed method is a wholly self-contained topology correction algorithm, which determines geometrically accurate, topologically correct solutions based on the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) intensity profile and the expected local curvature.

The virtual Haken conjecture

TL;DR: Agarwal and Manning as discussed by the authors proved that cubulated hyperbolic groups are virtually special, and showed that they have finite-sheeted Haken covers, which resolves the virtual Haken question of Waldhausen and Thurston.

Four-manifolds with positive isotropic curvature

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the effect of neck-like curve-pinching on the recovery of the manifold from surgery. But they focused on the reconstruction of the body after surgery.
