Abstract The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a disruption surgical care. aim this multi-centric, retrospective study was evaluate impact on activity for thyroid disease among Italian Units Endocrine Surgery. Three phases were identified based epidemiological situation and public measures adopted from Government (1st phase: 9th March 3rd May 2020; 2nd 4th 14th June; 15th June 31st). patients operated upon during these compared those who underwent surgery same period previous...
Optimized preoperative diagnostic tools with calcitonin tests, ultrasound features, functional imaging modalities, and genetic testing to detect hereditary forms have led an increased rate of earlier diagnosis surgery for medullary thyroid cancer (MTC). This helps adapt the primary tumor stage avoid surgical overtreatment localized growth, i.e., deviating from regularly recommended thyroidectomy bilateral central lymph node dissection in favor a limited unilateral approach. To limit therapy,...
Introduction: Our aim was to determine whether bacteria contamination occurred within the surgical field or on endoscopic equipment during surgery using transoral thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA). Materials and Methods: Participants were recruited from patients planned for TOETVA between May 2017 December 2019. Bacterial samples taken before at conclusion of procedure. The preoperative postoperative materials inferior oral vestibulum a sterile flocked swab. Results: study resulted...
We evaluate the role of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) in thyroidectomy performed for Graves' disease (GD) with an emphasis on recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) management and completeness resection. The study is a retrospective series comprising 55 (control group) versus 82 procedures intermittent IONM (I-IONM) 72 by means continuous (C-IONM). In control group nerves have been identified visualization solely. I-IONM both vagal (VN) RLN localized monitored during thyroid C-IONM was...
Continuous intraoperative neural monitoring (C-IONM) is a promising technology used to decrease recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) damage during thyroid surgery. However, C-IONM use limited due its challenging application. requires dissection of the carotid sheath and placement an electrode around vagus (VN). In our study, we simultaneously stimulated monitored proximal RLN trans-tracheally using surface electrodes that were positioned solely on endotracheal tube.We described design,...
This retrospective study aimed to describe, firstly, characteristics and outcomes of the intraoperative neural monitoring technology in pediatric population, secondarily recurrent laryngeal nerve complication rate. Thirty-seven patients (age <18 years) operated on from 2015 2021 by conventional open thyroid surgery were included. Twenty-four (64.9%) total thyroidectomies 13 (35.1%) lobectomies performed. Seven central six lateral lymph node dissections completed bilateral procedures....
This issue describe the clinical picture of a man who consulted by hypoanaesthesia in chin area that was secondary to lung cancer. The most common primary cancers associated with mental neuropathy are haematological malignancies, breast and cancers. presence o must not be considered an "banal" symptom. It should quickly recognised order research
Granular cell tumor (GCT) is a rare neurogenic neoplasm originating from Schwann cells that predominantly affects women and can involve skin mucousae. In the respiratory system it most frequently involves bronchi larynx, while in trachea.A 26-year old female smoker was hospitalized for suspected hypoechoic nodule right thyroid lobe closely adherent to trachea. At preoperative computed tomography tracheal lumen totally clear. The patient underwent total thyroidectomy with lymph node...
Vitamins are involved in various human physiological and biochemical mechanisms due to their antioxidant properties ability enhance the immune response. Deficiency of some serum vitamins has been reported be associated with an increased risk developing cancer, including thyroid cancer. However, medical literature dealing cholecalciferol supplementation was not able show potential this intervention cancer prevention. The aim paper is highlight association between lower levels papillary...
Continuous intraoperative neural monitoring (C-IONM) during thyroid surgery is a useful tool for preventing recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury. The present study aims to analyze the tensile strength tolerance of C-IONM electrodes on vagal (VN). A wire was enclosed in hand-held testing system. probe displacement VN continuously monitored by positioning second far-up/proximally piglet model, and an automatic periodic stimulation (APS) accessory used. 3-mm 2-mm APS has mean 20.6 ± 10 N...
Introduction: Thyroid and parathyroid diseases are very common. Most of these cases in women may be amenable to surgery. The patient’s perception that not life-threatening leads them expect an excellent aesthetic result, since the surgical incision area is clearly visible. Objective: To evaluate different scarring outcomes using three energy-based devices (Harmonic Focus®, Johnson & Johnson, New Brunswick, NJ; Thunderbeat Open Fine Jaw®, Olympus Medical, Tokyo, Japan; LigaSure Small...
Subcutaneous implantation of thyroid tissue is a rare clinical condition that involves the head and neck region occurs after surgery, diagnostic procedures or cervical trauma.A 90-year old woman with two skin nodules on her thyroidectomy scar was hospitalized treated by surgical excisions. Histologically, these lesions were aggregates cutaneous oncocytic cells. In patient's history there total for multinodular goiter, performed 9 years previously at which well-encapsulated subcapsular...
The identification of laryngeal nerves during thyroidectomy procedures is considered the safest method to prevent variations in motility vocal cords. However, only visualization many situations not enough ensure result. In fact, anatomical wholeness does always functional integrity. number endocrine surgery centers that use intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) constantly increasing. Neuromonitoring techniques are currently safe methods; however, although infrequently, some complications and...
