The classic principles of oncological surgery were accepted based the procedures from radical surgery for breast cancer described by Halsted in 1894, which can be summarized as tumor en bolc resection, clean surgical margin, regional lymph nodes dissection, and tumor-free technique. The classic principles of oncological surgery are the cornerstone of cancer surgical treatment and have significantly promoted the development of oncological surgery. The minimally invasive surgery is the trend of contemporary oncological surgery for the characteristics of minimal invasion, better tissue identification, precise manipulation, and fast postoperative recovery. Head and neck cancers are usually related to the upper aerodigestive tract, as well as important nerves and blood vessels in head and neck. The anatomical structures of the relative organs are intricate and delicate, and their functions are crucial. Therefore, there is an urgent need for minimally invasive surgical techniques. However, the head and neck cancers which are larger or located in some special sites such as the skull base have to be removed by piecemeal resection in minimally invasive surgery. The piecemeal resection of tumor increases the risks of tumor positive surgical margins and tumor implantation metastasis. The goal of radical surgery for cancers is to completely remove the tumor and obtain a really clean surgical margin. If head and neck cancer is indication for radical surgery, appropriate operative manipulation (en bloc or piecemeal resection) is able to achieve the goal of radical surgery. Giving attention to both the advantages of the principles of oncological surgery and minimally invasive surgical techniques benefits more patients with head and neck cancers from better survival rate and minor invasive morbidities.

Background and purpose:During recent years, the incidence of papillary thyroid micro-carcinoma (PTMC) has increased year by year. There are many differences in its diagnosis and treatment. This research investigated and summarized the clinical diagnosis and treatment of thyroid papillary carcinoma by means of analyzing the patients’ data.Methods:Sixty-one cases underwent high resolution ultrasound examination before operation, and the accuracy rate was 86.9%. All patients underwent surgical treatment. Thirty-nine patients had thyroid lobectomy and ipsilateral central lymph node dissection (CLND), 11 underwent concurrent partial thyroidectomy, 22 had total thyroidectomy and bilateral central lymph node dissection and 5 underwent concurrent cervical lymph node dissection. The incidences of central and cervical lymph node metastasis were 44.3% and 8.2%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that the risk factors for central lymph node metastasis were age <45 years, multifocality, tumor location near or across the midline, tumor diameter≥5 mm. The rates of central lymph node metastasis were 66.7%, 60.7%, 66.7% and 53.8, respectively.Conclusion:High resolution ultrasound examination has a high sensitivity for the detection of PTMC. It is important to implement standardized and individualized treatment plan to the patients with PTMC.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the surgical method of plerosising intra-orbital wall blow-out fracture through ethmoid sinuses under trans-nasal endoscopy with the graft of nasal septal cartilage. METHOD: Eighteen patients who encounter the intra-orbital wall blow-out fracture were plerosised under trans-nasal endoscopy through ethmoid sinuses. As a part of the surgical method, the nasal septal cartilage was taken as the graft. We analyzed the curative effect of the method. RESULT: The follow-up was from half a year to one year, all of the 18 patients met the cure standards without the graft prolapsus. CONCLUSION It is a feasible surgical method to plerosis intra-orbital wall blow-out fracture under the endoscopic transnasal with the graft of nasal septal cartilage through ethmoid sinuses, which is direct-viewing,micro- trauma, well-histocompatibility and so on.
