Hypoparathyroidism, the most common complication after thyroid surgery, leads to hypocalcaemia and significant medical problems. An RCT was undertaken determine whether intraoperative parathyroid gland angiography with indocyanine green (ICG) could predict postoperative hypoparathyroidism, obviate need for systematic blood tests oral calcium supplementation.Between September 2014 February 2016, patients who had at least one well perfused on ICG were randomized receive standard follow-up...
Abstract Background Postoperative hypoparathyroidism remains the most common complication following thyroidectomy. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate use intraoperative parathyroid gland angiography in predicting normal function after thyroid surgery. Methods Angiography with fluorescent dye indocyanine green (ICG) performed patients undergoing total thyroidectomy, visualize vascularization identified glands. Results Some 36 underwent ICG during All received standard calcium and...
Abstract Major complications of thyroid and parathyroid surgery are recurrent laryngeal nerve injuries definitive hypoparathyroidism. The use intra‐operative Indocyanine Green Angiography for confirmation vascular status the gland is reported here.
Background: Surgical approaches to thyroidectomies have undergone a rapid evolution over the past three decades. Transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) is currently latest remote access procedure for treatment of benign and malignant thyroid disease. The purpose this article present results TOETVA from five different international institutions. Materials Methods: From 2016 2019, 152 procedures were performed on 149 patients at separate Outcomes analyzed prospectively...
Abbreviations and Acronyms: HPT: hyperparathyroidism; ICG: indocyanine green; MEN: multiple endocrine neoplasia; POD: postoperative day; PTH: parathyroid hormone. The main indications for subtotal parathyroidectomy include hyperparathyroidism (HPT) of renal origin (patients with insufficiency patients after transplantation) primary HPT due to hyperplasia all 4 glands. major surgical steps consist bilateral cervical exploration identification preservation both recurrent laryngeal nerves, the...
Introduction: Subtotal parathyroid resection is indicated when secondary or tertiary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) develops and may be also in patients with primary HPT multiglandular disease. Three different surgical procedures are used to treat diffuse hyperplasia: total parathyroidectomy without autotransplantation, subtotal parathyroidectomy. One of the main complications transient persistent hypoparathyroidism. In this video, we show our technique using a fluorescent dye (indocyanine green...
More than 96% of signet-ring cell carcinomas occur in the stomach and rest other organs, including gallbladder, pancreas, urinary bladder breast. Primary carcinoma colon rectum is very rare, accounting for 0.1%–2.4% all colorectal cancers. We report a case 55-year old man who operated caecal mass evocative an appendicitis abscess. Intraoperatively, we discover large, ulcerated ilio-caecal with several lymphadenopathies. The further workup reveals primary multiple lymph nodes osteolytic bony...
Introduction: Remote approaches to thyroid have increased their frequency in endocrine surgery along the past 10 years. Among all of them, transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach is probably one performed most often Asian countries. Although recently indocynanine green dye (ICG) fluorescence has been routinely used identify prefusion parathyroid glands (PG) and also predict immediate function after thyroidectomy, postoperative hypoparathyroidism rate, whether transient or...
Introduction: Ectopic parathyroid adenomas can be located within the residual thymic tissue, in aortopulmonary window (APW), posterior mediastinum, or parenchyma of thyroid gland. Only 2% them are not accessible through standard cervical incision and require a thoracic approach.1 Recently, number minimally invasive strategies for their management have emerged, including video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) mediastinoscopy (VAM). We report case an ectopic adenoma APW, which was...
Introduction: Temporary and permanent hypoparathyroidism with resulting hypocalcemia is the most common complication after total thyroidectomy seen in up to 30% 10% of patients undergoing thyroidectomy, respectively. That condition may result prolonged hospitalization multiple clinic visits, neuromuscular symptoms, need for life-long calcium vitamin D supplementation, long-term complications. The incidence depends on technical difficulty procedure expertise surgeon; introduction...
