A Novel Technique for Endoscopic Transaxillary Thyroidectomy Comparison
Thyroid DiseasesThe clinical data from all except the first 20 cases who underwent our novel transaxillary thyroidectomy were collected retrospectively, while the data from patients who underwent conventional open thyroid lobectomy by same surgeon during the same period were used as a control.
Parathyroid Vascularization During Total Thyroidectomy Using Indocyanine Green Angiography
ThyroidThyroid Cancer2 moreProspective, observational, single-center study about the use of indocyanine green angiography during total thyroidectomy. The main objective of the study is to identify a quantitative score of parathyroid vascularization as an outcome of angiography that correlates with the absence of postoperative hypoparathyroidism. It is planned to enroll 66 patients.
Platysma Trial - Platysma Suturing Versus no Sutures for Wound Closure After Primary Thyroid Surgery...
Thyroid DiseaseInfluence of the platysma suture on postoperative pain and wound healing.
Effect of Bupivacaine Application on Postthyroidectomy Pain
Thyroid DiseaseAnalgesiaInvestigators aimed to evaluate the impact of bupivacaine administration into the surgical field after total thyroidectomy on post-operative pain and analgesic requirement with a double-blind, prospective, clinical, randomized study. Pain assessment was performed with the visual analog score (VAS). Participants were pre-operatively, divided into two groups randomly to receive either bupivacaine or not. One group received a 10 ml of bupivacaine solution while the other group was treated with the same volume of 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) through the drain after completion of total thyroidectomy procedure. All participants were anesthetized and operated with the same anesthesia and surgical team.
BABA Robotic Thyroidectomy Without Gas is Safe Enough as That Use a Gas
ThyroidectomyThyroid DiseasesIn this study, a randomized controlled study was conducted between two groups of 14 classic recipients of Carbon dioxide insufflation during BABA robotic-thyroidectomy and 14 recipients of Gasless method during BABA robotic-thyroidectomy. This is a study to see if there is any difference in hemodynamic and metabolic changes and pain .
Pioglitazone in Thyroid Cancers
Thyroid Cancers That Contain the PAX8-PPARgamma Fusion GeneThrough this trial the investigators hope to learn if a drug, Actos (pioglitazone), is useful in treating a certain kind of metastatic thyroid cancer. Actos is approved by the FDA to treat diabetes. It has not been approved by the FDA to treat cancer, so its use in this study is considered experimental.
Is the Routine Pressure Dressing After Thyroidectomy Necessary?
Thyroid NeoplasmsThyroid Nodules2 moreThyroidectomy is an operation that is commonly performed. After an operation a pressure dressing by Hypafix is usually used due to the belief that it will help to reduce complications such as post-operative bleeding or haematoma. However, the practice is uncomfortable to patients and makes it hard to detect early haematomas. We carried out a prospective randomised study to study the role of pressure dressing after thyroid surgery by evaluating the amount of fluids collected in the operative bed by ultrasonography compared with normal dressing.
Study of External Beam Radiotherapy to Thyroid Carcinoma
Thyroid CancerThe primary objective of this study is to estimate the 5 year locoregional control rate after External Beam Radiotherapy (EBRT) in the patient with locally advanced differentiated thyroid cancer. In a prior retrospective trial for this same group of patients, the 5 year locoregional control rate was 85% in EBRT group and 70% in no EBRT group. For the total number of patients to detect a minimum of 20% improvement in 5 year locoregional control rate with 80% of statistical power and the 5% significance level, the table for sample size planning given by Makuch and Simon was chosen. Forty-three patients are required for this regimen to regard as worthy of further investigation. Considering 15% follow up loss, 50 eligible patients will be enrolled.
Active Surveillance on Papillary Thyroid Microcarcinoma
Thyroid CancerPapillary Thyroid MicrocarcinomaThe study is a multi-center prospective cohort study of active surveillance in papillary thyroid cancer with low risk. The purpose of the study is to observe natural course of low risk papillary thyroid cancer in Korean population, and comparison of prognosis between active surveillance group and conventional surgery group. Patient will be well informed about their choice of active surveillance or surgery.
The Efficacy and Safety of Thunderbeat in Thyroid Surgery
ThyroidThe aim of this study is to compare the results of total thyroidectomy using the Thunderbeat device to that with the harmonic scalpel.
