Abstract: Postoperative hypocalcemia (PoHC) is the most common complication of total thyroidectomy (TT). The availability of a reliable predictor of PoHC would allow early calcium supplementation, avoiding hypocalcemia, and potentially decreasing hospital stay.

Abstract: During the resection of pheochromocytomas hemodynamic instability can occur. It is for this reason that pre-operative control of blood pressure and heart rate with non-selective alpha-blockers has been recommended. Other agents have emerged as alternatives to the preoperative management of symptoms of catecholamine excess.
Review Article Pages 49-54
Abstract: Standard open thyroidectomy has been shown to be feasible and safe as an ambulatory procedure in carefully selected patients. Our aim is to present a protocol with our experience for performing transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) as an ambulatory procedure that is safe, feasible and applicable as has been shown with open thyroidectomy.
Case Report Pages 46-48
Abstract: Hürthle cell metaplasia of the thyroid gland can present with a variety of benign or malignant characteristics. At times, it can progress to a large mass causing a myriad of symptoms including dysphagia, vascular compression, and respiratory distress. We present a case of a 73-year-old woman with untreated, longstanding Hürthle cell metaplasia and fibrosis leading to significant airway obstruction.
Research Article Pages 40-45
Abstract: Growing evidence suggests a bi-directional relationship between breast and thyroid cancer in women worldwide. This study investigates whether a relationship exists among women in Arkansas. Retrospective chart review of patients at University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences was conducted on patients with breast cancer and thyroid disease in The Arkansas Breast Cancer database and EPIC EMR.
Case Report Pages 36-39
Abstract: Mediastinal parathyroid adenomas pose a technical challenge to surgeons, as they exist in remote and difficult to access locations. Historically, approaches using sternotomy, thoracotomy, and even VATS, have been implemented. However, recently the da Vinci Robotic surgical systems have gained popularity for resection of these lesions. In this case report, we document an incident where the da Vinci Robot is used to resect an aortopulmonary window parathyroid adenoma.

Abstract: The prevalence of adrenal incidentaloma is nearly 4 to 10% and increases with age. Most adrenal masses are nonfunctioning adrenocortical adenomas and found as an adrenal incidentaloma in 80% of cases, but also be conditions requiring therapeutic intervention. We presented our patients with adrenal masses and their management.
Research Article Pages 26-29
Abstract: Insulinoma mostly located at the body and the tail of the pancreas and are ideal candidates for minimal invasive surgery. This article presents our patients with diagnosis of insulinoma and discusses strategic and technical aspects of their surgical managements.
Short Review Pages 21- 25
Abstract: Patients with surgical endocrine disorders related to the thyroid and parathyroid glands, will require stratification for treatment as determined by severity of disease and recalcitrance to medical therapy in an environment which conserves healthcare related resources and possesses limited viral testing capability.
Research Article Pages 16-20
Abstract: Pheochromocytomas can present with a wide variety of clinical features. Tumor size of pheochromocytomas can often be as variable as its symptomology. The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate the differences in the clinical features, the biochemical values, and their relationship to the tumor size .
