ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
We had previously reported endoscopic central and lateral neck dissection via breast combined with an oral approach for papillary thyroid cancer treatment. In this study, we optimized the procedure with Wu's seven steps to make the procedure quicker and easier.METHODS:
Wu's seven steps for endoscopic central and lateral neck dissection via breast combined with oral approach for papillary thyroid cancer are (1) establish the working space, (2) isolate the sternocleidomastoid and internal jugular vein, (3) dissect the thyroid via breast approach, (4) dissect the central lymph nodes via oral approach, (5) dissect the inferior board of level IV via oral approach, (6) remove the tissues of levels IV, III, and II via breast approach, and (7) wash the working space and place drainage tubes. Twelve patients were assigned to the Wu's seven steps group, and 13 patients were assigned to the contrast group. The operative procedure of the contrast group was the same as Wu's seven steps except for a few key differences, such as that the central lymph nodes were dissected via breast approach first and the internal jugular vein(IJV) was dissected from the cricoid cartilage down to the venous angle.RESULTS:
The Wu's seven steps group had a short operation time and few injuries of the internal jugular vein. There were no statistical differences in other clinicopathological features or surgical complications.CONCLUSION:
It appears that Wu's seven steps for endoscopic central and lateral neck dissection via breast combined with oral approach for papillary thyroid cancer are effective and safe.Palabras clave
