RECURRENT RENAL CARCINOMA MIMICKING A GOITRE: A CASE REPORT

2013

Although the thyroid is a high vascularised gland, it is not common terget of metastases from extraglandular cancer. We reported a case of a 70 year-old woman who underwnt total thyroidectomy for multinodular goitre. In the patient's clinical hystory a nephrectomy was carried out 2 years before due to unspecified causes. The histopathological examination of the thyiroid showed a pattern compatible with clear cell renal carcinoma metastasis. The patient's relatives revealed, when questioned again, that the nephrectomy was due to the presence of a clear renal cell carcinoma keep concealed to the patients. Thanks to a timely intervention, the mass was removed and a better survival was guarante…

Effectiveness of early administration of a single dose of steroids and escin after loss of signal on electromyographic signal recovery during neuromo…

2022

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a single early administration of dexamethasone and escin after loss of signal (LOS) during a neuromonitored total thyroidectomy. Methods: A retrospective analysis of results concerning consecutive patients undergoing total thyroidectomy was performed. Patients included in the study were divided into two groups: Group 1 for which a “wait and see” strategy was used; Group 2, receiving dexamethasone and escin immediately after LOS detection. Results: Overall 37 patients were included in Group 1 and 35 in Group 2. LOS recovery occurring in 29.7% of cases (n. 11) versus 65.7% (n. 23) respectively (p < 0.001). Postoperative fibrol…

La ligature terminale des branches de l’artère thyroïdienne inférieure diminue la morbidité parathyroïdienne après thyroïdectomie totale pour goitre

2010

Resume But de l’etude Le but de cette etude etait d’evaluer l’impact de la ligature proximale de l’artere thyroidienne inferieure sur le taux postoperatoire de calcium et de parathormone chez les patients operes d’une thyroidectomie totale pour goitre. Patients et methodes Une etude randomisee a compare un groupe de patients operes par ligature proximale tronculaire de l’artere thyroidienne inferieure (groupe 1) a un deuxieme groupe de patients operes par ligature distale des branches de l’artere thyroidienne inferieure au contact de la capsule thyroidienne. Cent vingt-six patients consecutifs operes d’une thyroidectomie totale pour goitre multiheteronodulaire euthyroidien ont ete inclus. S…

Thyroid surgery and radioiodine ablation—the surgeon's role

2012

Total thyroidectomy and subsequent radioiodine ablation improve the outcome of patients with thyroid tumours measuring >1 cm. Best practice guidelines should serve as a basis for clinical decision making in stage I thyroid cancer; however, Haymart et al. report that soft factors, unrelated to clinical presentation, affect the rate of radioiodine ablation.

PS01.057: THYROIDECTOMY AND LARYNGO-PHARYNGEAL REFLUX: WHAT’S NEW

2018

Abstract Background ‘Local neck symptoms’ may be related to goiter; a persistence of those symptoms after an uncomplicated total thyroidectomy (TT) might be referred to the laryngo-pharyngeal reflux (LPR). Our previous study found a correlation between goiter and LPR in selected patients with local neck symptoms; the purpose of our current study is to investigate the presence of a laringopharyngitis in patients with goiter, before and after TT, even in the absence of local neck symptoms, assessing whether the presence of LPR may play a role at the outset of the symptomatology. Methods Two groups of patients were considered and they differred for the presence or absence of local neck symptom…
