Does presence of deranged thyroid hormone impact the post-surgery outcomes in the patients undergoing CABG procedure?

Kahol Richa , Kathait Atul , Mishra Sunil , Saklani Asha

Introduction: It is well established fact that the thyroid gland and heart have diverged from the same ancestral origin, thus have close metabolic relationship. Any alteration in the thyroid hormone profile, either hyper or hypo thyroid conditions may lead to manifestation of cardiac diseases. In routine clinical procedures abnormalities in the thyroid hormone levels were commonly observed in the cases of chronic heart failures.Objective: To Evaluate and...

Comparison of voice outcome according to the degree of thyroidectomy skin flap

Sung Eui-Suk , An Soo-Youn

Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the impact on postoperative voice outcome according to the degree of thyroidectomy skin flap.Methods: We randomly enrolled the patients underwent thyroidectomy into conventional thyroidectomy group (group 1) or minimally skin elevated thyroidectomy group (group 2). Skin flap was elevated to thyroid notch superiorly in group 1 and to superior border of cricoid cartilage superiorly in group 2. Inferior border of skin flap w...

Clinical application of pectoralis nerve block ii for flap dissection-related pain control after robotic transaxillary thyroidectomy: preliminary results of a randomized controlled trial

Kim Kwangsoon

Purpose: Few studies have examined the clinical utility of ultrasonography-guided pectoralis nerve block II (PECS II) during wide flap dissection of SP robot-assisted transaxillary thyroidectomy (SP-RATT). This study presents preliminary results of a randomized controlled trial.Methods: A total of 48 adult patients (aged ≥ 20 years) who underwent elective SP-RATT (including lobectomy) or total thyroidectomy from November 2022 to February 2023 at Se...

Multifocality is not a risk factor for recurrence after thyroid lobectomy: A study of 1,684 patients with differentiated thyroid cancer

Kyung Kim Hee , Cho Jin-Seong , Yong Park Ji , Choi Wonsuk , Ram Hong A , Kang Ho-Cheol

Background: We evaluated the impact of the multifocality on post-lobectomy recurrence in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC).Methods: We analyzed 1,684 patients with DTC who underwent thyroid lobectomy from 2008 to 2015 using logistic regression models to calculate the relative risk on post-lobectomy recurrence.Results: Tumor diameter increased from 4.9 mm to 8.1 mm and the proportion of extrathyroidal extension (ETE)...

Survey results comparing transoral thyroidecotmy to open thyroidectomy

Sung Lee Jun , Seok Lee Jin , Jun Yun Hyeok , Chang Hojin , Mo Kim Seok , Sang Lee Yong , Chang Hang-Seok

Introdcution: The number of patients who undergo transoral thyroidectomy has increased with the recent progress in thyroid surgery techniques and increasing number of patients concerned about cosmetic effects. This study aimed to compare transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy survey results with those of open thyroidectomy and to determine whether any differences existed between the two groups.Methods: One hundred patients who underwent thyroidectomy perform...

Prospective implementation of thyroid lobectomy recommendations and thyrospec molecular testing for bethesda III and IV nodules and impact on surgery

Yeo Caitlin , Wu Jiahui , Stewardson Paul , Eszlinger Markus , Paschke Ralf

Objectives: In May 2016, the local thyroid cancer tumor group proposed and adopted specific thyroid lobectomy recommendations based on the 2015 ATA guidelines. ThyroSPEC molecular testing was introduced for all Bethesda III and IV lesions in August 2020. The goal of this study was to evaluate the implementation of the ATA lobectomy guidelines and the introduction of ThyroSPEC molecular testing on rates of upfront total thyroidectomy (TTx), diagnostic lobectomy for Bethesda I-I...

The effect of surgery extent on vocal alteration following thyroidectomy

Mnejja Malek , Ben Ayed Mariam , Sellami Moncef , Abbes Asma , Ben Jebara Sofia , Haddou Noura , Achour Imen , Hammami Bouthaina , Charfeddine Ilhem

Objectives: Vocal alteration can occur following thyroidectomy with or without a damage of laryngeal nerves. Multiple factors can increase the risk of vocal alteration. We aim to determine the impact of surgery extent on vocal symptoms and endoscopic and acoustic findings.Materials and methods: In this prospective study, we evaluated the vocal alteration in patients undergoing a partial (PT) or total thyroidectomy (TT). We performed a vocal assessment pr...

Body mass index and postoperative morbidity after thyroid surgery: findings from a large retrospective cohort study

Lazzari Giovanni , Di Filippo Giacomo , Morelli Eleonora , Serbusca Dorin , Marino Nicola , Dall'Oco Isabella , Brazzarola Paolo

Background: Obesity is a major public health issue frequently associated with increased complication rates after elective general surgery. Previous reports on complications after thyroid surgery in obese patients were performed on selected cohorts. In this study, we sought to explore the relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) and postoperative morbidity after thyroid surgery in a large cohort of consecutive patients.Materials and Methods: A single-ce...

Transoral robotic thyroidectomy for thyroid diseases - lessons learned from a 1000 consecutive procedures

Park Dawon , Yub Kim Hoon , Jung Kwang-Yoon , Dionigi Gianlorenzo

Background: To evaluate the technical feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of transoral robotic thyroidectomy (TORT), using the da Vinci system through analysis of our series of 1000 consecutive patients.Method: A review of a prospectively designed database at our institute from September 2012 to February 2022 revealed a series of 1000 consecutive TORT patients with preoperative diagnosis of various thyroid diseases. Clinicopathologic characteristics a...
