In the second issue of 2024, there are 2 case reports. First is a rare case of Mitten hand contracture from Malaysia. Some readers may wonder about the rationality of surgical treatment. I assure you about several interesting aspects and down-to-earth situations that we (as surgeons) have to face every day. The second is a pathogenic germline variant in the BRCA2 gene in a patient with DCIS from Songkla University. There are 3 original articles, one RCT about hernia repair with/without fixation, one case series of surgical revascularization for acute lower limb ischemia, and the last article about factors influencing postoperative outcomes in surgical residents minor surgeries.
