This study develops and validates risk prediction models for permanent hypocalcemia following total thyroidectomy (TT) in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Hypocalcemia is a...
This study evaluates posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy, a minimally invasive technique for adrenal gland removal, based on results from 560 procedures in 520 patients. The researchers...
This article from JAMA Insights explores best practices for surgeons communicating with patients about surgery, particularly in high-stakes situations. It highlights three key communication strategies:...
Importance. Postoperative hypocalcemia following total thyroidectomy (TT) can significantly affect patients’ quality of life.However, the most effective intraoperative interventions to mitigate this risk remain uncertain.Objective....
Objective: This study aims to determine whether preoperative supplementation of vitamin D reduces the incidence of hypocalcemia following total thyroidectomy. Methods: Conducted in conformity with...
Objective: There are no established evidence-based guidelines for managing post-thyroidectomy hypocalcemia. This study aimed to evaluate a newly developed symptom-based treatment algorithm, which includes a...
Background:Computed tomography (CT) scans are widely used diagnostic tools, with approximately 93 million procedures performed on 62 million patients in the U.S. in 2023. However,...
This chapter offers an in-depth guide to the surgical anatomy and intraoperative nerve monitoring of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN), which is critical in thyroid...
This textbook provides a comprehensive exploration of the anatomy, physiology, pathology, imaging, and surgical treatment of adrenal gland disorders. It is intended as a detailed,...
Objective: This study was designed to describe the various anatomical relations of the recurrent laryngealnerve (RLN) during thyroid surgery in a Central African population.Patients and...
