Thyroglossal Duct Cyst Carcinoma: Our 12-year Experience in a Tertiary Care Centre.

Malignant transformation in thyroglossal duct cyst is an extremely rare occurrence, papillary carcinoma being the most common type of malignancy. In this study, we present our 12-years experience on this rare pathology. Records of all the patients with thyroglossal duct cyst and thyroid malignancies who were managed between January 2011 and December 2022 were reviewed retrospectively.

Transmural Migration of Gossypiboma: a Rare Cause of Acute Abdomen.

Gossypiboma is the retained foreign body which is generally a cotton sponge/gauze after surgery. Incidence of gossypiboma is around one in 3000 to 5000 surgeries. This low incidence is mainly attributed to a low case reporting due to an associated medicolegal aspect.

Validation of intra-operative parathyroid hormone and its decline as early predictors of hypoparathyroidism after total thyroidectomy: A prospective cohort study.

Introduction: Total thyroidectomy is a preferred surgical technique for benign as well as malignant thyroid pathologies, but many a times can cause hypoparathyroidism. The aim of this study is to evaluate the intra-operative parathyroid hormone (ioPTH) level and its decline as predictors for post-operative hypoparathyroidism after total thyroidectomy.

Methods: In this single-centre prospective cohort study, 90 patients who underwent total thyroidectomy for benign as well as malignant pathologies of thyroid gland were studied.
