Endoscopic Ultrasound–Guided Diagnosis of Mediastinal Ectopic Thyroid in a High‐Risk Elderly Male
Ectopic thyroid tissue (ETT) is a rare condition that predominantly affects women, often during periods of hormonal stimulation. Mediastinal involvement is even more uncommon. We present a case of ETT in a male patient with atypical demographics and a history of renal cell carcinoma, presenting as a large mediastinal mass measuring 6.0 × 4.6 × 4.5 cm ...

Risks Associated With Extent of Surgical Management for Benign, Non‐Toxic Goiter
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)

Resolution of Sleep Apnea After Radiofrequency Ablation of Goiter
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

Developing a large‐scale quality improvement program for thyroid cancer surgery
Abstract Background Surgical quality improvement (QI) plays a critical role in optimizing patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. QI programs focusing specifically on thyroid cancer surgical care are lacking. This study aimed to (a) select and introduce surgical quality indicators for thyroid cancer and (b) identify areas for QI at the state ...
