All cases of this complication reported to date have been temporarily, and is related to compression of the brachial plexus from arm positioning during surgery. A The superior thyroid vessels were individually ligated. This test is used in patients with large goiters, substernal goiters, and cases of advanced cancer. Minimally invasive incisions might be placed in the hollow between the medial heads of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. Huang Z, Qin H, Liao J, Meng L, Qin Y, Li B, et al. Conventional thyroidectomy In a conventional thyroidectomy, a 3- to 4-inch incision will be made through the skin in the low collar area of your neck (the lower front portion of your neck, above the collarbones and breast bone). The patients were either satisfied or very satisfied with the cosmetic effects. A number of surgical procedures and surgical approaches have been developed and the terminology can be confusing. Incision: A transverse collar incision is usually made 1-2 fingerbreaths above the sternum along the skin crease. 4). 4 Also emerging are techniques for remote access thyroid and A special retractor is placed to create a space for the surgeon to remove the thyroid gland. Opening of the chest in the surgical management of substernal goiter is rarely required. Bilateral axillary approach for total thyroidectomy ensures better identification of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) and PTG on both sides. Springer Nature. This work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (grant No. The muscles around the thyroid gland are retracted to expose the thyroid gland.

B A 4-cm length incision was made in the natural wrinkle of axilla and an accessory 5-mm incision was made for another operative instrument, Three standard steps method for working space make. The average drainage volume was 48.0 24.4 ml (20100 ml) on day one and 13.7 5.6 ml (1030 ml) on day two. Patients will receive general anesthesia. The neck appearance score (also known as the patient satisfaction score, PSSs) was applied to investigate the cosmetic effects. hb`````Jg`a`6Tcg@ ~+s\``fy$ S@5@YN@ZA:V^`` HWy6rC+1oxD7`v`Xvz&fq=@&2` &{^j@ 8S Kang SW, Lee SC, Lee SH, Lee KY, Jeong JJ, Lee YS, et al. . The dissected area is marked in blue, The procedure of thyroidectomy and central neck dissection (CND). There are two nerves called the recurrent laryngeal nerves that run just behind the thyroid. A This case has been converted to open surgery. This procedure may also be appropriate for small, non-aggressive thyroid carcinomas less than 1cm. Compared to two-dimensional endoscopic thyroidectomy, three-dimensional endoscopic thyroidectomy is an efficient, safe, and reliable method with better depth perception and stereoscopic vision, and an equally satisfactory outcome [23]. The follow-up times were 3 to 10 months. If the patient was not taking thyroid hormone prior to the operation, the surgeon may prescribe these tablets following surgery. B In this case, the hemorrhage of IJV has been controlled by using Harmlock. It provides a good alternative beyond It is critical to work with a team of thyroid specialists to choose the right operation for each individual patient. By contrast, a television commentator with an 11-inch neck (Figure 42-3, A) and a 2-cm follicular neoplasm (Figure 42-3, B) is an ideal candidate for an endoscopic thyroidectomy. A number of technological advances such as advanced energy devices for hemostasis, 1 high-resolution endoscopes for improved visualization, 2 and laryngeal nerve monitoring 3 have increased the focus on cosmetic outcomes and the pursuit of smaller, well-camouflaged incisions. A first attempt was replacement of the central . Conventional open thyroidectomy (COT) is the most commonly used approach for thyroidectomy. Springer Nature remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. The internal jugular vein was injured in two of the patients during the making of working space, one patients operation was converted to open surgery. Hypocalcemia can cause symptoms such as numbness and tingling (especially around the lips and in the hands and feet) as well as cramping and even "locking" of the hands and feet. Classically 8-12 cm (3-5 inch) incisions were performed. 2012;42:83541. Thyroidectomy for substernal usually includes goiters with minimal extension in the thoracic cavity and those that are present in the mediastinum (the area surrounding the chest cavity ). Terms and Conditions, Most thyroid nodules are small, and performing a full collar incision is not necessary to provide needed surgical exposure to safely remove the thyroid lobe. It is nearly always preferable to identify and utilize a preexisting skin crease (if present), as this will result in the most optimally camouflaged scar. Popular incisions included the Lahey incision (Figure 42-1, A), the MacFee incision (Figure 42-1, B), and eventually a hockey stick type of incision (Figure 42-1, C).8 This last approach developed with recognition of the dangers of a trifurcated incision in which the tips of the trifurcation were prone to ischemia and devitalization, sometimes putting the great vessels of the neck at risk. We also recommend a multivitamin for most patients. When the goiter is caused by a noncancerous. Temporary numbness of the anterior chest is very common after this operation, and can last for several months. During the post operative visit, a blood test called TSH level may be checked to measure the levels of thyroid hormone in order to determine if the dose is correct. The vast majority of patients do not require narcotic pain medications. Compared with conventional approach, it holds the advantages of comparative extensive indications and similar complication rate but achieving a better cosmetic result. The hockey-stick incision (C) avoids trifurcations and provides plentiful exposure for a comprehensive neck dissection. If there is no sign of bleeding and the patient feels well, he or she may go home. However, despite careful technique, it is not uncommon to observe skin edges at the end of a procedure (particularly minimally invasive surgery) that are ischemic and traumatized. Prior to the operation, patients will need certain pre-operative testing to make sure that they are healthy enough and properly prepared for an operation. The sternal head of the SCM was subsequently retracted to expose the strap muscles.

This percent decreases in older women, patients with a personal or family history of Hashimoto's thyroiditis or hypothyroidism, and patients with a family history of autoimmune disease. Definition: Thyroidectomy is the surgical removal of all or part of the thyroid gland. First, we dissected the tunnel to the anterior neck area with exposure of the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM). In these cases, the voice will often be better in the mornings and "tire" toward the end of the day. endstream endobj startxref This is the result of the blood calcium level dropping below normal (hypocalcemia) and is usually temporary. The suit covers the incision and prevents your dog from licking or chewing the incision. that the dissected flap width in trans-axillary approach is significantly wider than conventional thyroidectomy, causing greater trauma, and potentially more severe pain [20]. COT allows good direct exposure for both thyroid lobes and central neck compartment. The primary endpoint was the cosmesis of the collar scar six weeks after surgery assessed using the patient and observer scar assessment scale (POSAS). Ryan WR. It provides satisfactory cosmetic outcomes compared with conventional transcervical incision. Chen GZ, Zhang X, Shi WL, Zhuang ZR, Chen X, Han H. Systematic comparison of cervical and extra-cervical surgical approaches for endoscopic thyroidectomy. Fifty-one patients (42 PTC patients and 9 thyroid adenoma patients) were included in this study. C and D, Both the right and the left neck may be thoroughly dissected with appropriate retraction assistance. Thyroidectomy is the main surgical treatment for thyroid cancer and is a treatment option for certain thyroid conditions, including: A P value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. However, it also leads to greater trauma [22]. As the scar heals, it will appear to be part of the crease and thus camouflage it. The operation is longer, requires the surgeon operate off a video monitor, and requires assistants to retract the tissues and another assistant to hold the endoscope. 82073262) and the Hunan Province Natural Science Foundation (grant number 2019JJ40475). Figure 42-7 When a large thyroid lobe is delivered through small incisions, it is not uncommon to observe evidence of an ischemic or traumatized skin edge (A). A completion thyroidectomy is usually done after a thyroid lobectomy reveals cancer in the first half of the thyroid but may also be done for multinodular goiter or hyperthyroidism. No internal jugular vein injury was reported [19]. Several reports with large case cohorts were regarding robotically assisted thyroidectomy [8,9,10]. While the conventional collar incision is widely used, endoscopic thyroidectomy is gradually becoming accepted for thyroid nodule patients with cosmetic needs [2,3,4].Under the premise of oncological effectiveness, endoscopic thyroidectomy can provide a . We have been using this approach since 1999. Figure 42-6 The optimal position in which to mark the anticipated thyroid incision is with the patient seated upright in the holding area. Next, a vertical cut will be made through the strap-like muscles located just below the skin, and these muscles . In our study, only two cases had temporary vocal cord paralysis. Surg Endosc. It is no longer sufficient to remove a thyroid, preserve the laryngeal nerves, and preserve the parathyroid glands (Figure 42-4). How helpful the three-dimensional endoscopy or robotic endoscopy to the completion of bilateral (total) thyroidectomy via trans-axillary approach is worth further exploration. The size of the incision is dictated by surgeon preference and need for adequate exposure to remove the tumor. Modern thyroid surgery found its origins in the late 19th century in the work of Billroth and Kocher.7 Although Billroth is credited with first systematically pursuing thyroidectomy in a deliberate fashion, it was Kocher who developed a safe and reproducible technique for accomplishing a therapeutic thyroidectomy. Poor cosmetic result from scarring of the neck or axillary incision may occur and require secondary scar management. All rights reserved. The procedure is not indicated for aggressive thyroid cancers, for very large tumors, or tumors with significant inflammation such as severe Hashimotos thyroiditis, Graves disease, or in patients who are significantly obese or have abnormalities of shoulder function. Fada Xia. Thyroidectomy is the most common endocrine surgical procedure performed throughout the world.1 In the city of . In general, patient should be able to eat their normal diet, but most patients prefer softer foods for the first few days. 2011;25:135863. Novel uses of surgical robotics in head and neck surgery. There is no clear definition of what minimally invasive means, and surgical incisions as large as 6 cm. Temporary hoarseness usually gets better within a few weeks, but can take up to 6 months to resolve. The optimal position in which to mark the anticipated thyroid incision is with the patient seated upright in the holding area. Collar incision was made about 2 1/2cm above the inner ends of the clavicle, through the platysmal muscle. In any case, the surgical team must be ready for complications from massive goiter surgery, such as: Substernal goiter can be removed through a relatively straight forward collar incision in the lower neck. However, patients will be asked to do no heavy lifting, swimming, or soaking in a bathtub for 1 week after the operation. %%EOF Figure 42-4 Examples of the so-called necklace neck incision associated with a classical thyroidectomy through an open approach (A and B). The operation generally lasts from 2-3 hours. Surgery. If a patient has symptoms caused by low blood calcium, the surgeon may prescribe extra calcium and a vitamin D supplement. A number of technological advances such as advanced energy devices for hemostasis,1 high-resolution endoscopes for improved visualization,2 and laryngeal nerve monitoring3 have increased the focus on cosmetic outcomes and the pursuit of smaller, well-camouflaged incisions.4 Also emerging are techniques for remote access thyroid and parathyroid surgery.5,6 Conventional surgery remains necessary in many circumstances, such as for large substernal goiters or advanced malignancy, and will remain in the endocrine surgeons armamentarium. You can shower and wash your hair as usual, but do not soak or scrub the incision. Because there is no more gland to produce thyroid hormone after a total thyroidectomy, patients are dependent on long-term thyroid hormone supplementation after surgery. The typical recommendations for pre-operative testing include: In addition, patients may require additional tests in certain situations to help plan the operation. The retractors (Kangji, Hangzhou, China) were used to maintain the working space during the operation. h. Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative. None of the patients developed hypoparathyroidism, esophageal injury, or surgical site infection after the surgery. Only two patients developed temporary vocal cord paralysis and no patient developed permanent vocal cord paralysis. Part of In general, patients may resume taking their normal medications the day after the operation. When present, surgical removal is generally indicated. The cosmetic effect and the self-healing of the discomfort in the anterior neck area and SCM suggest that the application of gasless endoscopic trans-axillary thyroidectomy is feasible. If any of these symptoms happen, the patient should call 911 first and then their surgeon. 14,17,18 Indications for OMIT are defined as thyroid volume >30ml but <70-80ml and a dominant nodule . This nonobese gentleman who has a 26-inch neck circumference and a large goiter would not be a candidate for any minimally invasive approach. volume20, Articlenumber:9 (2022) Even in the rare chance of having a permanently hoarse voice, there are things that can be done to improve or fix the voice. 3). The neck appearance score was low in all cases (either satisfied or very satisfied). Most patients may need to take thyroid hormone pills (thyroid hormone replacement) for the rest of their lives when the whole thyroid gland is removed. An accessory 5-mm incision was made on the vertical line of the axillary incision (35 cm far away from this incision) for another operating instrument (Fig. However, COT normally requires a long collar incision (usually 5-8 cm in length) on the anterior neck [1]. As the working space is crucial to the surgery, we have summarized this process in three standard steps. It is important to note that numbness and tingling may be caused by something other than a parathyroid problem. XYL and HOY analyzed the data. Although researchers made some efforts to achieve it by sectioning the sternohyoid muscle, the long operation duration, pain in the neck, and swallowing discomfort should also be taken into consideration. In each patient, the indication for surgery was a small nodule of unclear malignant potential. Fortunately, in the hands of Columbia Thyroid Center surgeons, the risk of bleeding is less than 1%. If goiters are not causing any symptoms, the doctor may recommend close observation to monitor for any changes or growth over time. Modern thyroid surgery found its origins in the late 19th century in the work of Billroth and Kocher.

By using this website, you agree to our A "thyroidectomy" should not be confused with a "thyroidotomy" ("thyrotomy"), which is a cutting into the thyroid, to get access for a median laryngotomy, or to perform a biopsy. Many companies make these suits, and they're washable and reusable. For example, a gentleman with a 26-inch neck (Figure 42-2, A) and a large goiter (Figure 42-2, B) is not a good candidate for any type of minimally invasive approach. It is in this position that patients will be in public situations such as dinner parties and cocktail receptions, and it is in this position the suprasternal notch (the depression created by the medial heads of the sternocleidomastoid muscle) can best be seen. Most patients (97%) will not notice any change in their voice after the operation. A concept that has gained traction in recent years is the customization of both the incision and the surgery to the patient and the disease characteristics, rather than a one size fits all approach. From July 2020 to March 2021, 51 patients (49 females and 2 males) underwent operations by gasless, endoscopic trans-axillary approaches, with one patient whose operation was converted to open surgery because of internal jugular vein injury. Most thyroid nodules are small, and performing a full collar incision is not necessary to provide needed surgical exposure to safely remove the thyroid lobe. However, the da Vinci system is blamed for a prolonged surgery duration and a significantly higher economic cost. In addition to classifying the extent of surgical resection, a number of surgical approaches have been described. They have a higher death rate due to postoperative complications. In the last decade, we have performed this approach on more than 500 patients and found that patients who undergo this surgery have better cosmetic results compared with the . Thyroid hormone levels will then be measured about every 2 months until the hormone levels are stable (levels generally stabilize in 4 to 5 months). With the transformation of thyroid and parathyroid surgery since the late 1990s, there are now a variety of methods for accessing the thyroid and central neck. Clinical findings and postoperative complications of patients who had undergone trans-axillary thyroid surgery due to thyroid cancer and thyroid nodules were retrospectively studied. Patients should not be worried about hurting their voice by talking. Substernal goiter can be removed through a relatively straightforward collar incision in the lower neck. Surgery is typically recommended for goiters that are causing symptoms. Comparison of learning curves for retroauricular and transaxillary endoscopic hemithyroidectomy. The midline fascia was divided and strap muscles separated from the thyroid gland. A popular alternative to cones is a post-op surgical/recovery suit. The collodion will turn white and start curling up at the edges in about 5 to 7 days. For persons with pre-existing shoulder abnormalities, these could be exacerbated by surgery. Some people experience a dull ache, while others feel a sharp pain. Total thyroidectomy (sometimes called near-total thyroidectomy) is the surgical removal of the entire thyroid gland. Gasless, endoscopic trans-axillary thyroid surgery: our series of the first 51 human cases. A The retractors were used to maintain the working space during the operation. These symptoms appear between 24 and 48 hours after surgery. Thus, the outcome of substernal goiter surgery is usually good. A, B Step one, dissection of the route to the anterior neck area. Only two patients developed temporary vocal cord paralysis and no patients developed other severe complications. This requires a general anaesthetic technique similar to that for thyroid surgery . The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) patients with thyroid nodules diagnosed as papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) by ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) before surgerylobectomy (LT) with prophylactic unilateral (ipsilateral) central neck dissection (CND) was performed for these patients; (2) PTC patients with central lymph nodes that were evaluated as negative by two individual professional ultrasound physicians; and (3) patients with benign unilateral nodules with diameters > 4 cm that needed surgical intervention. With the transformation of thyroid and parathyroid surgery since the late 1990s, there are now a variety of methods for accessing the thyroid and central neck. 4 Technologic Thyroid cancer often spreads to lymph nodes in the neck. The surgical procedure was similar to the methods described by other surgeon groups [11, 12]. Comparison of total endoscopic thyroidectomy with conventional open thyroidectomy for treatment of papillary thyroid cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Surg Endosc. The median hospital stay was 1.67 0.74 (range 13) days. Routine level 2b dissection may be recommended only in N1b papillary thyroid carcinoma with three- or four-level lateral lymph node metastasis. If the patient was taking thyroid hormone before the operation, they should continue taking the same dose unless it was changed by the surgeon. The surgical drain was removed 2 days after surgery in all cases. After showering, pat the incision dry. Thyroid storm, also called thyrotoxic crisis, is a life-threatening medical emergency caused by very high levels of circulating thyroid hormone. The traditional "Kocher incision", an 8-10 cm collar incision, is regarded as the conventional appropriate incision for thyroidectomy.2 However, many new approaches for thyroid surgery were developed in order to further minimize the size of the surgical incision.3 Post-thyroidectomy scars have a negative effect on quality of life. Once at home, patients and their friends/family should watch for signs such as difficulty breathing, a high squeaky voice, swelling in the neck that continues to get bigger, and a feeling that something bad is happening. The mean age was 34 years old, ranging from 19 to 45 years. The surgeon makes a cut (incision) in the lower part of the neck just above the collar bone to determine if the mass can be removed without opening the chest. Skin flaps were created deep to the platysma up to the hyoid bone and down to the suprastemal notch. A comparison of surgical outcomes between endoscopic and robotically assisted thyroidectomy: the authors' initial experience. A questionnaire regarding the sensory changes around the anterior chest, paralysis of the SCM, and satisfaction with cosmesis was used to evaluate the quality of life in enrolled patients. The system also has tremor filtration and scaling of movements to eliminate tremor and allow very fine microsurgical movements if needed. Last, the strap muscles were dissected laterally, the omohyoid muscle and internal jugular vein (IJV) were also exposed.

It is noteworthy that there is another obvious disadvantage of this technique. In the other case, the hemorrhage of IJV has been controlled by using Harmlock clips (Fig. reported the endoscopic trans-axillary technique. The sensory change and paralysis results from this technique and patients satisfaction with the cosmesis were also studied. No evidence of recurrence was found during the follow-up period. (A and B, Redrawn from Lore JM, Medina JE, editors: Atlas of head and neck surgery, Philadelphia, 2005, Elsevier-Saunders.). Surgery is the most commonly used technique in treating thyroid diseases.
