Abstract Introduction Urinary tract infections (UTIs) represent a rare postoperative complication following thyroidectomy. Objective This study aimed to assess the clinicodemographic factors associated with development of UTIs and subsequent outcomes among patients undergoing Methods retrospective used National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database analyze who underwent thyroidectomy from 2005 2019. Multivariable logistic regression models were identify risk associations...
Introduction: Accurate histopathology request forms are essential for effective diagnosis and treatment. This audit assessed the completeness of these at Fauji Foundation Hospital, aiming to identify address documentation gaps. Methods: A retrospective review 300 from January June 2024 was conducted. Forms were evaluated in patient details, hospital admission, biopsy information, clinical notes. SPSS software used data analysis, an educational intervention implemented based on initial...
Background: Understanding the factors associated with increased rates of restenosis following Draf procedures is crucial for developing targeted strategies to mitigate complications such as mucocele formation, reduce need revision surgeries, and improve long-term patient outcomes. Methodology: A systematic search was conducted using Embase, Medline, CINAHL, AMED, PubMed, Cochrane Database on January 17th, 2024. Research articles published in English language were included. Abstracts...
Introduction Parotid gland tumors include a wide variety of inflammatory and neoplastic diseases. The majority these are benign (80%), which usually require superficial parotidectomy, while the incidence malignant is lower (20%), requiring more radical surgery with or without neck dissection. diagnosis cannot be established on basis clinical history simple physical examination requires complementary diagnostic methods. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) guided by ultrasound widely used...
Sclerosing mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the thyroid was first reported in 1991. This tumour type may develop as associated to Hashimoto thyroiditis. There are two variants thyroid. The conventional and sclerosing variants. with eosinophilia (SCME) has recently been recognised a separate disease entity by WHO. We report case SCME 62-year-old male patient who presented painless anterior neck swelling. Total thyroidectomy performed, no adjuvant treatment administered. remained free up until 10...
Abstract Introduction Despite the evidence against drain placement after thyroidectomy, there is a lack of consensus on use in patients with substernal goiter. Objective To assess factors that increase likelihood and its impact postoperative hematoma other 30-day complications among adult undergoing thyroidectomy for Methods A retrospective cohort study used data from American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP). Adult (aged ≥ 18 years) who underwent...
Introduction Thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) is the most common congenital anomaly of neck, and approximately 7% all adult population presents it. Ectopic thyroid tissue found in thyroglossal wall up to 65% cases. This has potential develop some type malignancy, which papillary carcinoma thyroid. There are just over 270 cases malignancy reported literature. Objectives We aimed study our patients order identify with malignancy. Methods A retrospective chart review was conducted section...
Lymphoma is a malignant tumour arising from lymphoid tissue, with the majority of cases being in lymph nodes, however, 1/4th cases, these tumours are found extralymphoid tissue. Lymphoid tissue also organs having mucosa, such as digestive tract, salivary gland and tracheal This collection known mucosa-associated (MALT), non-Hodgkin lymphoma involving this extralymphoidal MALT lymphoma. It was first reported by Isaacson Wright 1983, it not included working diagnosis clinical use until...
Introduction The rates of thyroid cancers are on a rise, especially well-differentiated cancers. This could be partly due to newer diagnostic modalities, like high-resolution ultrasound, that can pick up smaller lesions. Differentiated with distant metastases not common, and even rarer is the initial presentation complaints related neck. Objectives objective this series was study report unusual cases patients differentiated cancer metastasis. There lack data in literature these cases, rarity...
Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is an important diagnostic tool used preoperatively for the diagnosis of parotid lump. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma comprises 5-10% all salivary gland tumours. It poses a challenge on FNAC with high false negative rate. The objective this study was to evaluate discordance between cytology/FNAC and histopathology in patients mucoepidermoid carcinoma.A cross-sectional conducted from 1 January 2010 31 December 2014. Patients aged 18 years above or suggestive...
Lymph node metastasis is a poor prognostic indicator and well established in tongue squamous cell carcinoma. Based on the current staging system, accurate risk stratification difficult. There thus need to evaluate an alternate method for predicting recurrence survival. The objective of study was lymph ratio as marker compared with N-staging carcinoma.We conducted retrospective cohort 56 patients greater than 0.012 (exposed) 74 less (unexposed). Overall five-year survival disease-free were...
Background: Redundant nerve roots (RNRs) are defined as elongated, thickened, and tortious appearing of the cauda equina secondary to lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSCS). The study compared clinical radiological features patients with LSCS versus without RNR. Methods: This retrospective was performed on 55 who underwent decompressive surgery for degenerative LSCS. Patients were divided into two groups based presence RNR in their preoperative magnetic resonance imaging, evaluated by a...
Tracheomalacia after thyroidectomy is not well understood. Reports on tracheomalacia are conflicting, with some suggesting a high rate and other large cohorts in which no reported. The aim of our study was to assess the incidence factors associated patients retrosternal goitres requiring sternotomy at high-volume tertiary care referral centre.A longitudinal cohort conducted from January 2011 December 2019. All adult who underwent were included. considered when tracheal rings soft compared...
