Inferior median sternotomy [PDF]

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 1999
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.

European multicentre study on outcome of surgery for sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), EarlyView., 2020
Some 5861 patients undergoing first‐time surgery for sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism were registered in the Eurocrine® database between 2015 and 2018. The use of intraoperative parathyroid hormone measurement decreased the risk of conversion and persistent hypercalcaemia.
