Although fine-needle aspiration cytology remains the mainstay of preoperative workup thyroid nodules, those with follicular proliferation still represent a diagnostic challenge. Real-time elastography (RTE) estimates stiffness/elasticity lesions and is regarded as promising technique for presurgical selection nodules (including indeterminate cytology).Our aim was to verify potential role RTE in diagnosis cancer large cohort consecutive patients nodules.One hundred two were submitted...
Minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy (MIVAT) was first described in 1999 and it has become a widespread technique performed worldwide. Although initially limited to benign thyroid nodules, MIVAT progressively adopted for all types of diseases, while remaining within the selection criteria. It is reported that, selected cases, comparable standard open (SOT) terms oncologic radicality, time, costs complications rate, with advantage better cosmetic result lower post-operative...
Large thyroid masses, particularly if rapidly growing, are often characterized by compression and infiltration of the vital structures neck. Therefore, an early precise diagnosis, not only malignancy but also histotype, is mandatory to set up right therapy. The aim this study was evaluate diagnostic performance fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) core biopsy (CNB) in setting.We prospectively evaluated 95 patients with large growing masses admitted University Hospital Pisa between April...
Background: Postoperative neck hematoma is an uncommon but potentially fatal complication following thyroid surgery. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the impact direct oral anticoagulants on occurrence complication. Methods: Patients who underwent thyroidectomy, between January 2020 and December 2022, in nine high-volume surgery centers Europe, were retrospectively evaluated. Based taking anticoagulants, patients divided two groups: DOAC Group Control Group. Propensity score...
Minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy (MIVAT) was introduced in our department 1998. The procedure is based on a unique incision the central neck, 2 cm above sternal notch, using small conventional retractors and 2-mm reusable instruments. Hemostasis achieved by Harmonic scalpel. 1,320 (1,136 female 184 male, ratio 4:1) patients have undergone MIVAT since June Lobectomy carried out 421 patients, while 899 underwent total thyroidectomy. In 21 cases (RET oncogene mutation carriers),...
Background: Postoperative neck hematoma is an infrequent but potentially fatal complication following thyroidectomy. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the impact direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) on occurrence complication. Methods: Patients who underwent thyroidectomy between January 2020 and December 2022 in nine high-volume thyroid surgery centers Europe were retrospectively evaluated. Based taking anticoagulants, patients divided into two groups: DOAC Group Control Group....
Patients labeled as having indeterminate thyroid nodular disease following fine-needle aspiration cytology are at risk of non-optimal initial surgery: an overly radical total thyroidectomy, or unnecessary two-stage operation. The objective this study was to assess the impact combining mutational markers and ultrasonographic (US) features preoperatively on predicting malignancy in patients with nodules, thereby offering them a tailored surgical intervention.The records 258 who underwent...
Abstract Robot-assisted transaxillary thyroidectomy is widely performed in Asian countries, although it still under discussion the Western World. However, there have been few studies reporting on learning curve of robot-assisted thyroidectomy. We used cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis to assess gasless at a third-level institution Europe. included all consecutive patients operated by single surgeon without previous experience robotic surgery from February 2012 January 2023. The primary...
Surgery plays a key role in the treatment of thyroid cancer (TC) patients. Locally advanced cases, however, can require an extensive surgical approach with technical issues and high risk complications. In these multidisciplinary evaluation should be carried out to evaluate pros cons. The aim this study was share our experience, as team, management patients locally TC particularly local disease, whose could challenging part multimodal treatment.
Parathyroid gland (PG) surgery is often challenging due to the small size and indistinct nature of these glands. The introduction intraoperative near-infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF) has shown promise in localizing parathyroid tissue. However, NIRAF features adenomas remain unclear. aim this study assess pattern adenomas.
