Transoral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy with Central Neck Dissection
Correspondence To the Editor: We have read with interest the article reported by Guo et al., [1] who performed a transoral thyroidectomy with central neck dissection on human cadavers by using a sublingual combined bilateral vestibular access. Interestingly, the described technique is identical to our approach that we published as a video paper in 2009. Although we could demonstrate the surgica...
متن کاملTransoral robotic-assisted thyroidectomy with central neck dissection: preclinical cadaver feasibility study and proposed surgical technique
UNLABELLED Recently, a transoral robotic-assisted technique to access the thyroid gland has been introduced. Despite the advantages this approach may have over other minimally invasive and robotic-assisted techniques, we found that the placement of the camera through the floor of mouth led to restricted freedom of movement. We describe our modification to this technique to overcome this problem...
متن کاملThe upper limits of central neck dissection.
IMPORTANCE Central neck dissection (CND) is considered an imperative part of the treatment of patients with high-risk, well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma. OBJECTIVE To examine the presence of lymphatic tissue and/or metastatic nodes in the upper part of the paratracheal region to determine the need to dissect this region as part of a paratracheal neck dissection. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PAR...
متن کاملCentral neck dissection for papillary thyroid cancer.
BACKGROUND Central compartment lymph node dissection is a common adjunct to thyroidectomy in the treatment of papillary thyroid cancer. The indications, surgical technique, potential benefits, and operative risks of this procedure should be clearly defined in order to provide optimal care to these patients. METHODS A systematic review of the literature and an analysis of evidence-based recomm...
متن کاملTransoral robotic retropharyngeal node dissection.
BACKGROUND Surgical access to metastases in the retropharyngeal lymph nodes (RPLNs) could be difficult. Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) can be utilized to access RPLNs. The purpose of this study was to describe a TORS approach to RPLN dissection. METHODS A case series of patients undergoing RPLN dissection by TORS was conducted and compared to matched controls (1:2). RESULTS Twelve patient...
