Abstract:
Objective To explore the efficiency of transcervical video-assisted mini-incision thyroidectomy for thyroid tumor. Methods 53 patients with thyroid tumors who underwent the video-assisted mini-incision thyroidectomy from Jan. 2006 to Dec. 2009 in the Department of Thyroid Surgery, Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital,were retrospectively studied. Results All of the patients, except 5 cases converting to open thyroidectomy, underwent the video-assisted mini-incision thyroidectomy successfully. The temporary recurrent laryngeal nerve injury occurred in 1 patients. The subcutaneous fluid accumulation occurred in 3 patients. The skin burns around the incisions occurred in 3 patients. There was no complication of hematoma, hypocalcemia, or superior laryngeal nerve injuries. The follow-up period was from 3 months to 35 months. There was no evidence of recurrence and metastasis by postoperative ultrasonic and CT scan and radioiodine scintigraphy. Conclusions The video-assisted mini-incision thyroidectomy is feasible, safe, and with the advantage of cosmetic results. For thyroid tumor,especially thyroid cancer, longer follow-up is necessary to draw definitive conclusion on recurrence and survival rate.
