Sepsis in cardiothoracic surgery
Sepsis is a life-changing condition that can occur in patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgery. It is characterized by a dysregulated inflammatory response to infection, often leading to higher rates of organ dysfunction and mortality. The importance of early recognition and prompt intervention in managing sepsis-related complications in cardiothoracic surgery is pivotal to adequate surgical practice. Due to the multiple subsections that construct the broad spectrum of cardiothoracic surgery, it is important to address the presence of sepsis in elective cardiothoracic surgery, urgent/emergency cardiothoracic surgery, sol...

Is there a role for liquid biopsy in the surveillance of parathyroid carcinoma?
This study sought to assess the feasibility and application of liquid biopsy in parathyroid carcinoma and its impact on surveillance. (Source: Surgery)

Discussion
Adam Kabaker (Chicago, IL): Do you think liquid biopsy is better than parathyroid hormone (PTH) in stratifying the risk of disease recurrence or progression for parathyroid carcinoma? Is this additive? Is this going to give us some new information we did not already have? (Source: Surgery)

The use and costs of same-day surgery versus overnight admission for total thyroidectomy: A multi-state, all-payer analysis
Outpatient thyroidectomy is increasingly favored, given evidence of safety and convenience for selected patients. However, the prevalence of same-day discharge is unclear. We aimed to evaluate temporal trends, hospital characteristics, and costs associated with same-day discharge after total thyroidectomy in an all-payer, multi-state cohort. (Source: Surgery)

Liver remnant volume to body weight ratio of 0.65% as a lower limit in right hepatic trisectionectomy with bile duct resection
Previous studies have suggested the utility of an indocyanine green plasma clearance rate of the future liver remnant (FLR) (ICGK-F) ≥0.05 in hepatobiliary resection to reduce the surgical risk. The present study aimed to verify whether future liver remnant size rather than ICGK-F matters in extended hepatobiliary resection. (Source: Surgery)

Discussion
Rebecca Sippel (Madison, WI): One of the greatest take-home messages of this study is the median savings of $880 for same-day relative to overnight admission. We could use these data to justify the additional cost of the outpatient support that is needed to make this effective. (Source: Surgery)

Malpractice litigation after thyroid surgery: What factors favor surgeons?
Litigation impacts physicians financially, reputationally, and professionally. Although thyroid surgery has favorable patient outcomes, litigation persists. We aimed to characterize malpractice claims after thyroidectomy and investigate which factors favor physicians. (Source: Surgery)

Research training as an integral part of surgical resident education: Central Surgical Association presidential address
It has been an honor to serve as President of the Central Surgical Association during the past year. I have enjoyed working with many of the past presidents of the Central Surgical Association in various societies, including the Central Surgical Association, the American Surgical Association, the American College of Surgeons, and the American Board of Surgery (Figure 1). These colleagues have had a major influence on my career in academic surgery. I would also like to acknowledge and thank the most recent past presidents and our current president-elect of the Central Surgical Association; these individuals are thoughtful...
