Abstract:
Purpose:To study the significance of resecting the lymph nodes adjacent to the recurrent laryngeal nerve in the operation on cNo thyroid papillary carcinoma,and its value inselecting the fashion of operation .Methods:Reviewing the clinical-pathological material of 186 cases of cNo thyroid papillarycary cinoma,and analyzing the relationship between lymph nodes adjacent to the recurrent laryngeal nerve and lateral cervical nodes metastasis. Results:Of 186 cases of cNo thyroid papillary cacinoma,there were 42.5% (79/186) with metastatic lymph nodes adjacent to the recurrent laryngeal nerve,63.2% of which had lateral cervical nodes or distant metastasis,while only 8 cases had metastasis in the negative group. Conclusions:The thyroid papillary carcinoma with metastatic nodes adjacent to the recurrent laryngeal nerve means there is a higher chance of metastasis in regions of the neck. Resecting the lymph nodes adjacent to the recurrent laryngeal nerve and frozed pathological examination can be a basis to determine whether redical neck dissection should be performed.
