Total endoscopic thyroidectomy with bilateral breast areola and ipsilateral axillary (bbia) approach
Thu, 07/31/2008 - 06:00Abstract
Background Endoscopic surgery for thyroid nodules is used by many endocrine surgeons. The present study reviews our experiences with
endoscopic thyroidectomy using bilateral breast areola and ipsilateral axillary (BBIA) approach to evaluate its safety and
feasibility.
Methods From June 2003 through November 2007, the study group was comprised of 68 consecutive patients with benign thyroid nodules
(66 women; mean age, 33.28 ± 10.3 (range, 15–72) years). A detailed description of the surgical technique is provided.
Sentinel lymph node biopsy as guidance for central neck dissection in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma
Thu, 07/31/2008 - 03:00Occult lymph node metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) can be detected by sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy, but studies in larger patient cohorts undergoing complete central neck dissection may be required to assess the diagnostic accuracy of SLN.
