Rare But Risky: Clinical Impacts of Pneumothorax After Thyroidectomy and Parathyroidectomy
Postoperative pneumothorax (PPTX) is rare after thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy, occurring in up to 0.10% of cases. However, it is associated with increased risks of all‐cause mortality, adverse respiratory events, and healthcare utilization rates in up to 1 year after surgery, deeming PPTX as a potential marker of increased postoperative ...

Abstract Preoperative parenteral nutrition (PN) improves outcomes in malnourished surgical patients. Traditionally, this requires hospital admission, increasing length of stay and costs—challenges worsened by limited hospital bed availability. Outpatient PN may offer a feasible alternative.

Increasing Obesity Severity Is Associated With Less Surgical Care in the United States
ABSTRACT Objective Approximately 41% of the US population has obesity, though the prevalence of the highest BMI populations (e.g., ≥ 60 kg/m2) is increasing most rapidly. Given the association between obesity and surgical disease burden, we hypothesized that higher BMI groups would account for a growing proportion of operative volume over time.
