Incidental parathyroidectomy after thyroid surgery and relationship with postoperative hypocalcemia: a single tertiary center analysis.

Incidental parathyroidectomy (IP) is a complication seen at varying rates after thyroid surgery, and its relationship with postoperative hypocalcemia has not been clarified. In this study, our goal was to identify the frequency and risk factors for IP in a large patient cohort and assess its correlation with postoperative hypocalcemia. A total of 4052 patients who underwent thyroid surgery between 2008 and 2020 were reviewed retrospectively.

How good is lobectomy for the Turkish population with papillary thyroid cancer? A clinicopathological evaluation.

Objectives: In modern practice, there is an increasing recommendation for higher utilization of lobectomy in the management of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). However, in this decision where the optimal balance of locoregional recurrence and complication burden should be achieved, there are still conflicting results in the literature. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of high-risk factors in the Turkish population with PTC on the decision of hypothetical lobectomy.

Unveiling the Accuracy of Ultrasonographic Assessment of Thyroid Volume: A Comparative Analysis of Ultrasonographic Measurements and Specimen Volumes.

In endocrine surgery, a precise ultrasonographic measurement of thyroid volume is crucial. However, there is limited comparative research between ultrasonographic and specimen volumes, which has left this issue open to debate. This study aims to assess the accuracy of recommended formulas for ultrasonographic thyroid volume measurement by comparing them to specimen volumes and analyzing the influencing variables.

Body composition changes following total thyroidectomy: A one-year follow-up study.

Introduction: Thyroid hormones play an important role in body weight regulation. In this study, we investigated which body composition parameters cause a change in body weight after total thyroidectomy.

Materials And Method: We performed a retrospective cohort study of a prospectively maintained database of patients who underwent total thyroidectomy.

A Novel First-Line Treatment Alternative for Noncomplicated Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis: Combined İntralesional Steroid İnjection with Topical Steroid Administration.

Background: Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a rare form of nonlactational mastitis. Due to the small number of case series and consequently inadequate prospective studies, there is still no consensus on the optimal treatment of IGM. In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy of intralesional steroid injection with concomitant topical steroids to systemic steroid therapy only in the treatment of noncomplicated IGM.

Elastography and Doppler May Bring a New Perspective to TIRADS, Altering Conventional Ultrasonography Dominance.

Rationale And Objectives: The main aim of ultrasonography (US) examining thyroid nodules is to differentiate malignant nodules from benign nodules. Several professional societies and groups of investigators have defined guidelines such as Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TIRADS) to provide the standardized language and approach to thyroid nodules. This study is aimed to investigate the compatibility of such classification systems with the pathological diagnosis of nodules and evaluate the contribution of the Shear-wave elastography (SWE) and Doppler ultrasonography (DUS) findings.

A Cohort Study Assessing the Association Between Body Composition Parameters and Symptomatic Hypocalcemia After Total Thyroidectomy.

Background: Postoperative hypocalcemia is one of the major concerns following thyroidectomy and the most frequent cause of prolonged hospital stay. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between body composition parameters and symptomatic hypocalcemia following total thyroidectomy. In addition, the effects of disease- and patient-related factors on hypocalcemia were investigated.

The role of loco-regional treatment in long-term quality of life in de novo stage IV breast cancer patients: protocol MF07-01Q.

Background/objective: Since more solid evidence has emerged supporting the effectiveness of loco-regional treatment (LRT), clinicians consider LRT a treatment option for selected de novo stage IV breast cancer (BC) patients. This is the first report on long-term quality of life (QoL) in a cohort of patients who were randomized to receive either LRT and then systemic treatment (ST) or ST alone in the protocol MF07-01. We aimed to evaluate QoL in patients living at least 3 years since randomization using scores from the SF-12 health survey.

The Effects of Bougie Diameters on Tissue Oxygen Levels After Sleeve Gastrectomy: A Randomized Experimental Trial.

Background: Staple-line leak is the most frightening complication of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and several predisposing factors such as using improper staple sizes regardless of gastric wall thickness, narrower bougie diameter and ischemia of the staple line are asserted.

Aims: To evaluate the effects of different bougie diameters on tissue oxygen partial pressure at the esophagogastric junction after sleeve gastrectomy.

Study Design: A randomized and controlled animal experiment with 1:1:1:1 allocation ratio.
