Early Hypocalcemia is the most frequent complication after thyroid surgery. Several studies have tried to identify factors (patient caracteristics or surgical technique variations) affecting hypocalcemia following This studiy evaluates role of several in postoperative development. A retrospective study conducted on 2108 patients that underwent surgery a single center (1669 women and 439 men). Postoperative early was defined as serum calcium levels lower than 8,0 mg/dl measured 24 h Following...
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...
Thyroid surgery, performed for benign or malignant pathologies, is one of the most frequently procedures and its frequency has even been increasing in recent years. Postoperative bleeding, recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) palsy, associated to dysphonia, dysphagia, dyspnea, hypoparathyroidism represent fearful common complications. We conducted a multicenter, observational study retrospectively collected data three high-volume referral centers, enrolling all patients undergone thyroid surgery...
According to the latest guidelines, in patients with high-risk nodules indeterminate cytology, diagnostic lobectomy should be preferable surgical approach absence of factors that suggest a total thyroidectomy.This retrospective observational study has as its main aim evaluation cases underwent surgery, for Bethesda class IV our iodocarent geographical area. Particular attention was paid carcinoma incidence, preoperative nodule size, histological characteristics neoplasm, and eventual need...
Abstract A great number of surgical diagnostic procedures are performed every year for thyroid nodules that included in undetermined cytological classes reveal to be malignant carcinomas one-third cases. In the most recent guidelines, lobectomy is recommended approach this nodules, but total thyroidectomy treatment larger than 4 cm. The main study aim support or question dimensional criteria as an independent clinical decision element management. We examined data regarding 761 patients...
The aim of this study was firstly to report the experience intermittent intraoperative neuromonitoring (I-IONM) and evaluate impact loss signal (LOS) in staged thyroidectomy management.We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent total thyroidectomy, performed by a single surgeon two years. All have been subjected I-IONM. In case (LOS), planned always aborted. Six-month follow-up performed. Postoperative dysphonia evaluated with VHI-10 score 3 time settings T1, during hospital stay, T2...
Solitary thyroid nodules are the most common endocrine occurance in general population. With introduction of Bethesda system for reporting cytopathology (BSRTC) to fine-needle aspiration (FNA) specimens we found a reliable standard method evaluate malignancy risk neoplasms. This study evaluates correlation between BSRTC and real results our center investigating role several factors as confounding cytological diagnosis. The has been designed retrospective conducted on 637 patients that...
Endocrine surgery recent evolution has been characterized by introduction of mini-invasive video-assisted technique. When a new technique is introduced in surgical use the rate adverse events must be same previous standardized In MIVAT procedure complication and particular nerve injury risk associated surgeon's experience. The approach intraoperative neuro-monitoring (IONM) order to reduce laryngeal more technically difficult procedure.We analyzed clinical data regarding 215 patients treated...
The external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN) provides motor function to cricothyroid muscle (CTM). EBSLN damage produces changes in voice quality and projection. Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) thyroid surgery aims optimize control during dissection. We prospectively collected data 88 consecutive patients who underwent total thyroidectomy with IONM from July 2019 December 2019. was offered intermittent mode application. routinely searched for electromyographic (EMG)...
The diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma has changed in last decades, as the surgical technique during thyroidectomy (endoscopic surgery, robotic new energy device, intraoperative neuromonitoring).We analyzed patients undergone to or lobectomy for from January 2010 December 2019 at General Surgery Unit Hospital - University Parma. We divided into two groups, based on use not IONM.We data about 638 patients, 486 (76.2%) females and 152 (23.8%) males, with a mean age 51.8 years. Totally, 574...
Background Multifocality is usually detected afterwards surgery for papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and has been reported in 18-87% of PTC. Methods This a retrospective single-center study involving series 238 patients that underwent thyroidectomy or lobectomy after preoperative fine needle aspiration (FNA) diagnosis Thyr 5 6, according to Bethesda classification, from January 2015 December 2019 at the General Surgery Unit University - Hospital Parma. We divided into two main groups: with...
In scientific literature there are numerous authors that have highlighted how the outcome of patients undergoing surgical treatment, such as intraoperative or postoperative complications, time, mean hospital stay, is related to surgeon's experience based on number cases treated per year for a specific disease. our study we decided verify if, in clinical practice, significant differences outcomes between procedures performed by senior surgeon, young specialist resident, evaluating if affects...
Thyroid cancer is the ninth most commonly diagnosed in world, and common endocrine carcinoma. It was originally believed to be a rare event patients with thyroid hyperfunction it reported that hyperthyroidism had protective role against neoplasms. However, recent years, several studies have hypothesized differentiated carcinomas may coexist. Our study aims therefore evaluate incidence of on definitive histological examination, undergoing total thyroidectomy or hemithyroidectomy coexisting...
