Navigating the Debate on Managing Large (≥4 cm) Thyroid Nodules
Purpose. Discordant practice guidelines for managing large thyroid nodules may result in unnecessary surgeries and costs. Recent data suggest similar false-negative rates in fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies between small (

Surgical Management of Substernal Goiters: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
This systematic review and meta‐analysis of 15,706 patients with substernal goiter highlights that while surgery is often prompted by symptoms or imaging evidence of compression, over a quarter of patients were asymptomatic. The majority of cases (88.7%) were successfully managed through a cervical approach, with only a minority requiring thoracic ...

Resolution of Sleep Apnea After Radiofrequency Ablation of Goiter. [PDF]
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and nontoxic multinodular goiter are conditions that often coexist. Treatments of both conditions have evolved over time, but continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), oral appliances, or surgical therapy are often needed. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the soft palate and base of tongue has been applied as

Risks Associated With Extent of Surgical Management for Benign, Non-Toxic Goiter. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objectives Surgery for benign, non‐toxic thyroid goiter remains the most common indication for thyroidectomy worldwide, yet the optimal surgical extent remains controversial. While total thyroidectomy is assumed to have greater risks than lobectomy, the difference in complications has not been quantified. The objectives of this study are to (1)
