Transient or persistent hypoparathyroidism is one of the most well-known complications of total thyroidectomy and may lead to symptomatic hypocalcaemia. In children, treatment of post-thyroidectomy hy...
In a retrospective case study, we included all children (age <18 years), who underwent a total or completion thyroidectomy in the Amsterdam UMC, between 2000 and 2020. Patients were divided into two g...
A total of 51 patients were included; 26 with calcitriol prophylaxis and 25 controls. There was no significant difference in occurrence of hypocalcaemia (17/26 prophylaxis group; 18/25 control group)....
Calcitriol prophylaxis resulted in somewhat higher postoperative calcium concentrations but did not reduce the occurrence of hypocalcaemia or affect clinical outcome measures such as occurrence of sym...
Studies have shown that carbon dioxide (CO2) insufflation during endoscopic thyroidectomy is associated with many risks. Recently, we have designed a simple lifting tool using Kirschner wire. We aimed...
In a prospective study, patients who underwent endoscopic thyroidectomy...
Patient characteristics were not different between the two groups. During the operation, ET-CO2 levels were significantly higher in the CO2 group (...
The gasless endoscopic thyroidectomy we performed...
Transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy via vestibular approach (TOETVA) has become increasingly popular in the treatment of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). This study aimed to describe the safety and feas...
We retrospectively reviewed 780 consecutive patients suffering from PTC that had undergone total thyroidectomy using TOETVA (n = 107) and OT (n = 673) between April 2016 and December 2021 at our insti...
Before PSM, the patients in the TOETVA group were younger (p < 0.001), had a lower body mass index (p < 0.001) and a greater female population (p < 0.001). After PSM, the TOETVA group was associated w...
TOETVA is a safe and feasible technique for better cosmetic effects and similar surgical outcomes compared to conventional open surgery for the studied patients that required total thyroidectomy....
Gasless transaxillary endoscopic thyroidectomy (GTET) and endoscopic thyroidectomy via the areola approach (ETA) have emerged as minimally invasive surgical techniques for managing papillary thyroid c...
Between 2020 and 2022, 571 PTC patients underwent unilateral thyroidectomy accompanied by ipsilateral central lymph node dissection. This cohort comprised 72 patients who underwent GTET, 105 ETA, and ...
Patients in the ET group exhibited a lower mean age and a higher proportion of female individuals. Operation time in the ET group was significantly longer. No significant differences were observed in ...
The findings of this study affirm the safety and feasibility of employing GTET and ETA for the surgical management of PTC. GTET presents an attractive surgical option, particularly for patients with u...
For papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) surgery requiring total thyroidectomy and central lymph node dissection, it is controversial whether the bilateral axillo-breast approach robotic thyroidectomy (B...
The purpose of this study was to compare the intraoperative outcomes and postoperative complications of patients experiencing transoral thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOTVA) and conventional open ...
This prospective study aimed to explore the clinical efficacy and inflammatory reaction of submental endoscopic thyroidectomy versus conventional thyroidectomy....
We prospectively recruited 45 patients (total 90 patients) who met the eligibility criteria to undergo conventional open thyroidectomy or submental endoscopic thyroidectomy from January 2021 to July 2...
Ninety patients were enrolled. The two groups did not significantly differ regarding baseline characteristics. All patients who underwent thyroidectomy had a similar trauma index and increased level o...
Compared with conventional open thyroidectomy, submental endoscopic thyroidectomy did not increase the degree of trauma, had superior clinical efficacy, caused less pain, required a shorter downtime, ...
This study aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the surgical outcomes of the transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) and transoral robotic thyroide...
Transoral thyroidectomy has superior cosmesis and better postoperative voice outcomes than conventional thyroidectomy. However, it usually requires a steep learning curve and longer operative time. Th...
We retrospectively studied 173 consecutive patients who underwent TORT with or without central neck dissection from July 2017 to August 2021. We assessed the TORT learning curve using operative time, ...
Total thyroidectomy operative time was significantly longer than those of lobectomy and isthmusectomy (p < 0.001). In correlation analysis, a significantly positive correlation was observed between bo...
The CUSUM learning curve of TORT was about 52-55 cases, and the operative time, total complication rate, and procedure conversion decreased significantly after the learning curve. The operative time w...
Transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) is a scarless alternative to open thyroidectomy (OT). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesize evidence comparing th...
A systematic literature search of PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar was performed to identify studies comparing the outcomes of TOETVA and OT published before February 2...
Thirteen studies published between 2016 and 2022, involving a total of 2889 patients (TOETVA, n =1085; OT, n =1804) were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. Meta-analysis showed that...
TOETVA has a similar safety profile to OT with less postoperative pain, making it an appropriate and more cosmetically appealing alternative to OT for select patients....
