Preoperative risk factors in total thyroidectomy of substernal goiter [PDF]

Therapeutics and Clinical Risk Management, 2016
The definition of substernal goiter (SG) is based on variable criteria leading to a considerable variation in the reported incidence (from 0.2% to 45%). The peri- and postoperative complications are higher in total thyroidectomy (TT) for SG than that for cervical goiter.

SUMMARY Goiter is a localized or generalized thyroid hypertrophy. It can remain within the cervical region or grow down until it invades the mediastinum. The signs and symptoms depend on the size and location of the goiter. Although drugs and radioactive iodine are often used to treat thyroid disease, the presence of symptomatic substernal goiter is a ...

Body Mass Index (BMI) Related Morbidity with Thyroid Surgery

The Laryngoscope, Volume 133, Issue 10, Page 2823-2830, October 2023., 2023
Objectives The increase in incidence of thyroid cancer correlates with strict increases in body mass index (BMI) and obesity in the United States. Thyroid hormone dysregulation has been shown to precipitate circulatory volume, peripheral resistance, cardiac rhythm, and even cardiac muscle health.

Post‐thyroidectomy voice and swallowing disorders and association with laryngopharyngeal reflux: A scoping review

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 140-149, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Objective Postthyroidectomy voice and swallowing symptoms (PVSS) may occur even in absence of laryngeal nerve injuries, which remains poorly understood. The objective of this review was to investigate the occurrence of PVSS and the potential etiological role of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). Design Scoping review.

Gemstone Spectral CT Virtual Noncontrast Images and Iodine Maps for the Characterization of Thyroid Lesions and Distinguishing Thyroid Papillary Carcinoma from Nodular Goiter

International Journal of Endocrinology, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Background. Gemstone spectral contrast‐enhanced CT with virtual noncontrast (VNC) images and iodine maps can potentially reduce the number of required CT scans for thyroid lesions. However, data regarding the clinical utility of VNC images and iodine maps in characterizing thyroid lesions and distinguishing thyroid papillary carcinoma from nodular ...

Quality of Life and Surgical Outcome of Transoral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Vestibular Approach (TOETVA) versus Open Thyroid Surgery: Experience from a Single Center in Vietnam

Journal of Thyroid Research, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Background. It has been widely assumed that TOETVA has demonstrated a new technique and a promising approach as it is both minimally invasive and optimally cosmetic. The objective of this study was to assess the surgical outcome, aesthetic satisfaction, and postoperative quality of life of TOETVA in comparison with open thyroid surgery.
