Impact of prophylactic central lymph node dissection on the complications and recurrence rates in papillary thyroid carcinoma-An AFCE (French-speaking Association of Endocrine Surgery) multicentre study based on the EUROCRINE® national data.

Background: Prophylactic central neck dissection (pCND) remains controversial during the initial surgery for preoperative and intraoperative node-negative (cN0) papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).

Methods: Patients undergoing thyroidectomy with or without pCND (Nx) for PTC in nine French surgical departments, registered in the EUROCRINE® national data in France between January 2015 and June 2021, were included in a cohort study. Demographic and clinicopathological characteristics, complications, and recurrence rates were compared using multivariate regression analysis.

Surgery for Primary Aldosteronism in France From 2010 to 2020 - Results from the French-Speaking Association of Endocrine Surgery (AFCE): Eurocrine Study Group.

Objective: Describe the diagnostic workup and postoperative results for patients treated by adrenalectomy for primary aldosteronism in France from 2010 to 2020.

Background: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the underlying cause of hypertension in 6% to 18% of patients. French and international guidelines recommend CT-scan and adrenal vein sampling as part of diagnostic workup to distinguish unilateral PA amenable to surgical treatment from bilateral PA that will require lifelong antialdosterone treatment.

Thyroid liposarcoma: a case report.

Objectives: Thyroid liposarcoma is a rare tumor. Its low prevalence accounts for the scarcity of data in the literature, which consists mostly of small studies and case reports.

Case Presentation: We present the case of a 60 years old male with no past medical or past surgical history and presented with neck discomfort and a large left thyroid nodule.

Diagnostic Performance of F-Choline Positron Emission Tomography/Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography in Adenoma Detection in Primary Hyperparathyroidism after Inconclusive Imaging: A Retrospective Study of 215 Patients.

This large, retrospective, single-centre study evaluated the diagnostic performance of F-choline positron emission tomography/contrast-enhanced computed tomography (PET/ceCT) in preoperative parathyroid adenoma detection in primary hyperparathyroidism cases after negative/inconclusive ultrasound or other imaging findings. We included patients who underwent surgery and F-choline PET/ceCT for inconclusive imaging results between 2015 and 2020. We compared the F-choline PET/ceCT results with surgical and histopathological findings and identified the variables influencing the correlation between F-choline PET/ceCT and surgical findings.

[Rapid diagnosis for liquid-based fine needle aspiration of thyroid nodules].

Introduction: The discovery of thyroid nodule can be a source of concern for the patient. Fine-needle aspiration is the gold standard for their evaluation. We establish a new rapid diagnosis procedure for liquid-based fine needle aspiration (LB-FNA) of thyroid nodules.

Hypoparathyroidism: Consequences, economic impact, and perspectives. A case series and systematic review.

Background: Postoperative hypoparathyroidism (PH) is the most common complication after total thyroidectomy. Incidence varies from 2% to 83%, depending on the definition.

Objective: We performed a systematic review of the literature to determine the medico-economic effects of PH and update understanding of long-term consequences, morbidity, and quality of life related to hypoparathyroidism.
