ABSTRACT
Background:
Our objective was to assess the viability and oncological security of a gasless, transaxillary single-incision endoscopic procedure for performing total thyroidectomy and bilateral central neck dissection (TT + BCND). This study focused on patients diagnosed with bilateral papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC).Method:
Between April 2020 and November 2021, 22 patients with bilateral PTMC underwent single-incision, gasless, transaxillary endoscopic TT + BCND. The patients' clinicopathologic characteristics, surgical completeness and complications were analyzed.Result:
Single-incision, gasless, transaxillary endoscopic TT + BCND was successful performed in all patients. The median (IQR) total surgical time was 143 (85-160) min. Only two patients experienced transient unilateral RLN palsy or transient hypocalcemia. All these complications resolved within 1 month after surgery. The median duration of hospital stay after surgery was 4 (3-4.5) days. The median hospitalization expense for these patients was 3848 (3781-4145) USD. The median number of lymph node yielded was 10.5 (8-15). The cosmetic outcomes were well-received by all individuals.Conclusion:
In certain cases, gasless, transaxillary endoscopic TT + BCND procedure performed through a single incision proved to be a secure alternative for managing bilateral PTMC.
