Ultrasound-guided minimally invasive biopsy techniques in thyroid surgery / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To approach the guide of ultrasound-guided minimally invasive biopsy technique in diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases. Methods One hundred and seventeen cases (a total of 131 nodules, nodules 0. 5-1.5 cm in diameter, with an average diameter of approximately 0. 8 cm) with thyroid nodules , under Ultrasound-guided minimally invasive biopsy techniques from October 2008 to July 2009 were analyzed. Result One hundred and seventeen cases of patients with biopsy derived satisfaction were not ap-parent discomfort and complications after biopsy. Across 59 cases of surgical treatment in patients with biop-sy, and preoperative biopsy and postoperative pathologic is not fully consistent in only two cases, 58 patients without surgical treatment, who is combined with symptoms, palpation, serum thyroxine and color Doppler ultrasound and other laboratory examinations, and regularly review treated with symptomatic treatment, the symptoms, and color Doppler ultrasound imaging were much better under the treatment. 8 cases of patients in 117 cases of minimally invasive biopsy have cervical lymph node biopsy at the same time, biopsy patholo-gy and postoperative results are consistent with postoperative pathologic (7 cases of metastatic carcinoma, 1 case of reactive hyperplasia), accuracy was 100%. Conclusion Uhrasound-guided minimally invasive bi-opsy technique have important guiding for diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases, consistent with the high rate of clinical, especially for the preoperative diagnosis of small nodules, to avoid unnecessary over-treatment, can also reduce the misdiagnosis of thyroid cancer. While this technology is simple, safe and ac-curate, which have clinical value in the thyroid surgery.
