ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness, safety, and advantages of modified radical neck dissection by gasless unilateral axillary approach (GUA-MRND) in the surgical management of selected patients with papillary thyroid cancer.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed patients with papillary thyroid cancer who underwent GUA-MRND (endoscopic group, n=16) versus unilateral open modified radical neck dissection (MRND) (open group, n=32) during the period from Jan. 2019 to Jun. 2021, including the differences in surgical efficiency, complication rate, and incisional satisfaction.Results:Compared MRND with GUA-MRND, the patients were younger ( P<0.05) , operative time and postoperative drainage anterior ( P<0.01) were slightly inferior in the latter, but it had obvious advantages in cervical swallowing discomfort and incision satisfaction evaluation ( P<0.05) . There was no significant difference in the incidence of temporary recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, intraoperative and postoperative bleeding, hematoma, infection, lymphatic or chylous leakage and supraclavicular numbness after surgery ( P>0.05) . The number of dissected lymph nodes in area II in the GUA-MRND was lower ( P<0.05) , but it was significantly higher ( P<0.01) in area III. And the average regional cleaning efficiency in the GUA-MRND was level Ⅲ (35.5%) , level Ⅵ (28.59%) , level Ⅳ (23.21%) , level Ⅱ (7.18%) and level Ⅴ (7.12%) , suggested that GUA-MRND had higher efficacy for level III, level Ⅵ and Level IV. Conclusion:GUA-MRND is safe, effective, and has high cosmetic satisfaction in the treatment of selected patients with lateral cervical lymph node metastases from papillary thyroid cancer.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: Modified radical neck dissections (MRND) in papillary thyroid cancer surgery usually leave a long incision in the neck, causing cosmetic problems. We introduce a new surgical approach to MRND, with minimal lateral extension of transverse collar incisions, using the Iron-Intern. METHODS: Between Jan 2008 and Dec 2008, 135 patients with papillary thyroid cancer who had undergone MRND were enrolled in this study. Total thyroidectomy and central node dissection with Kocker transverse collar incision with minimal additional lateral extension were performed before MRND. MRND were performed including level II, III, IV and V. Among 135 patients, we performed MRND with the Iron-Intern in 70 patients (Group I) and 65 patients who had MRND performed without the Iron-Intern (Group II) were included as a control group. In Group I, the Iron-Intern, with some modifications, was applied during the dissection of the level II area. The postoperative outcomes of the patients were analyzed and compared retrospectively. RESULTS: The median hospital stay was significantly lower in Group I compared to Group II (P=0.003). The median operation time was significantly higher in Group I than Group II (P=0.002). The median numbers of harvested central and lateral lymph nodes were 10, 29 (group I) and 8, 23 (group II), respectively (P=0.073, P=0.148). Median levothyroxine off thyroglobulin levels were 1.2 and 1.8 in Group I and II, respectively (P=0.110). CONCLUSION: MRND, with minimal lateral extension using the Iron-Intern, can be easily and safely performed, leaving only minor scars in the neck.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To compare the therapeutic results between selective neck dissection (SND) and conversion modified radical neck dissection (MRND) for the occult nodal metastasis cases in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. METHODS: Forty-four cases with occult nodal metastasis were enrolled in this observational cohort study. For twenty-nine cases, SNDs were done and for fifteen cases, as metastatic nodes were found in the operative field, conversion from selective to MRNDs type II were done. Baseline data on primary site, T and N stage, extent of SND, extracapsular spread of occult metastatic node and type of postoperative adjuvant therapy were obtained. We compared locoregional control rate, overall survival rate and disease specific survival rate between two groups. RESULTS: Among the 29 patients who underwent SND, only one patient had a nodal recurrence which occurred in the contralateral undissected neck. On the other hand, among the 15 patients who underwent conversion MRND, two patients had nodal recurrences which occurred in previously undissected neck. According to the Kaplan Meier survival curve, there was no statistically significant difference for locoregional control rate, overall survival rate and disease specific survival rate between two groups (P=0.2719, P=0.7596, and P=0.2405, respectively). CONCLUSION: SND is enough to treat occult nodal metastasis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and it is not necessary to convert from SND to comprehensive neck dissection.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the recurrence of the neck and survival incidence of clinically possible pos-itive lateral cervical nodes in patients with well-differentiated papillary thyroid cancer and the essentiality of the performation of modified radical neck dissection. Method: Retrospective datum of 267 cases of papillary thyroid car-cinoma were collected and ananlyzed. They were divided into two groups with time; selective neck dissection with VI area was performed in 151 cases of group A and selective neck dissection was performed without VI area in 116 cased of group B. They were received the same treatment in the thyroid-total thyroidectomy on initial part and subtotal thyrodectomy on the other, and total thyroidectomy on both parts if both were invated. Incidence of posi-tive lateral cerivcal nodes of VI area in group A and the recurrence in the neck and survival incidence in groups B were analyzed. Result: Fiftynine patients in group A were treated with the modified radical neck dissection, and 22 patients of them were found metastasis in lateral cervical nodes with Ⅵ area. The other 92 patients were treated with neck dissection of Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ,Ⅵ VI area, and 31 patients weren't metastasis, 33 patients were metastasis in both Ⅵ area and the others(35.8%), 17 patients were metastasis only in Ⅵ area(18.4%), 11 patients weren't metastasis only in Ⅵ area(11.9%). Thus, the incident of metastasis in Ⅵ area was 47.70% in group A(72/151). 47 patients in group B had metastasis in lateral cervical nodes though without performing VI area neck dissection (40.5%), and the survival rate of 5 years was 99.3%. The recurrence rate in the neck of group two was 6.0% (7/116). The metastasis rate of neck lymph node was higher in group A (54.9%) than group B(40.5%). Conclu-sion : Pretracheal and peripheral recurrent nerve lymph node are very susceptible to the metastasis of well-differenti-ated papillary thyroid cancer. The neck dissection of VI area could be performed as routine.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: A completion thyroidectomy after less than total thyroidectomy is needed for the treatment of recurrent papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinicopathological features and the postoperative complications of completion thyroidectomy for patients with recurrent PTC. METHODS: A total 94 PTC patients who had undergone prior less than total thyroidectomy underwent completion thyroidectomy for recurrence from March 1986 to June 2009. We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological features and postoperative complications. RESULTS: At the initial operation, the patients' mean age was 38.2 years old. Central node metastasis was found in 37 cases and extrathyroidal invasion was found in 12 cases. The mean interval time between the initial operation to the completion thyroidectomy was 76.6 months. Fifty six patients underwent completion thyroidectomy only and 38 underwent a completion thyroidectomy combined with a modified radical neck dissection. In the combined group, central neck node metastasis and extrathyroidal invasion at the time of the initial operation were significantly more frequent than those in the completion thyroidectomy only group. The postoperative complications were 14 cases of transient hypocalcemia and 8 cases of permanent hypocalcemia and there were no significant differences between the two groups. CONCLUSION: When performing completion thyroidectomy, it is important to check the lateral neck nodes for metastasis when central neck node metastasis or extrathyroidal invasion were present at the initial operation, and this can be done safely without severe complications even though it is combined with modified radical neck dissection.

ABSTRACT

We experienced one case of bilateral pneumothorax developed after total thyroidectomy with modified radical neck dissection in a 44-year-old male patient with thyroid carcinoma. After the conclusion of the operation, the patient was extubated after confirming recovery of consciousness and spontaneous respiration. Soon after the extubation, sudden-onset dyspnea with desaturation was developed. Rapid re-intubation was performed. Bilateral pneumothorax with severe subcutaneous emphysema was recognized on chest radiograph and successfully treated by chest tube insertion. Secondary operation was performed and tracheal injury was proved to be the source of the pneumothorax. The patient was discharged uneventfully 14 days later.

ABSTRACT

To evaluate the role of internal jugular node sampling in the operation for well-differentiated thyroid cancer, 86 patients received the operation for well-differentiated thyroid cancer from one surgeon. Ipsilateral internal jugular node (level 3 and 4) sampling was done after total thyroidectomy and central compartment neck dissection (CCND) in clinically node negative well-differentiated thyroid cancer. A modified radical neck dissection, type IIIB, was done in the patients proved as metastasis on the frozen biopsy of the sampling. The overall metastatic rate of the internal jugular lymph node was 72.5% (50 of 69), and the metastatic rate of the internal jugular node sampling in clinically negative lymph node metastasis was 57.4% (31 of 54). The most frequent metastatic lymph-node group was level 6. The metastasis of the internal jugular lymph node was more frequent in large tumor and extracapsular involvement, but there was no statistical significance. The rates of internal jugular node metastasis were 50.0% in follicular, medullary, and H rthle cell carcinomas. In conclusion, sampling of the internal jugular node was an important guideline in deciding a modified radical neck dissection in patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancer.
