Abstract:
Central neck lymph node is the main site of metastasis of papillary thyroid cancer. However, the central area of dissection scope and integrity are still issues and controversies. The vast majority of papillary thyroid cancer in central lymph node dissection process, ignoring the lymph node posterior to fight recurrent laryngeal nerve (LN-prRLN), strictly speaking, does not do the central area of lymphatic adipose tissue intact, completely removed. This paper summarizes the recent literature on the LN-prRLN clinical dissection scope, the incidence of LN-prRLN transfer, LN-prRLN dissection impact on the incidence of complications, recurrence rate, mortality and survival rate were reviewed analysis, summarized the LN-prRLN dissection indications, clinical significance and importance.
