Materials And Methods: The study group consisted of 1030 patients who had undergone total thyroidectomy at our institution between March 2008 and July 2014. The clinicopathologic characteristics, indications for the operation, and surgical details of normocalcemic and hypocalcemic patients were compared, and variations in serum calcium and phosphorus levels were measured every day after the operation.
Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the surgical outcomes of robotic thyroidectomy (RT) using bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) with conventional open thyroidectomy (OT) in papillary thyroid carcinoma patients.
Methods: Between January 2009 and December 2013, 815 patients who had received thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid carcinoma were enrolled. Of these, 126 patients received RT and 689 patients underwent OT.
Background: When performing cholecystectomy after gastrectomy, we often encounter problems, such as adhesions, nutritional insufficiency, and bowel reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to identify the factors related to surgical outcome of these associated procedures, with emphasis on the use of a laparoscopic approach.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 58 patients who had a history of cholecystectomy after gastrectomy.
