Comparative study of endoscopic thyroidectomy versus conventional open thyroidectomy in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) patients.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the early surgical outcomes of endoscopic and conventional open thyroidectomies in patients with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). METHODS: Between September 2005 and December ... Read more...

Secondary central compartment surgery for thyroid cancer.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: To report surgical outcomes in a large series of patients with a history of thyroid cancer who underwent secondary central compartment surgery (SCCS). STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective chart review. METHODS: The records of 44 ... Read more...

Thorascopic mediastinal resection after median sternotomy and mediastinotomy.

29 Sep 2009 Previous mediastinal surgery may be considered a contraindication to minimally invasive resection of anterior mediastinal masses. We have found video-assisted thoracoscopic resection of anterior mediastinal masses to be technically feasible after ... Read more...
