Background: The aim of this study was to compare the complication rates between completion thyroidectomy and primary total thyroidectomy for differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC).
Methods: PubMed, the Web of Knowledge, and the China Journal Net were searched for studies concerning the treatment of DTC published in 1990-2014. A meta-analysis was performed to compare the effects of different treatments.
Results: 7 studies with a total of 1,208 patients were included. There were no statistically significant differences regarding the presence of temporary recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) palsy, permanent RLN palsy, temporary hypocalcemia, permanent hypocalcemia, hematoma, and wound infection.
Conclusions: Completion thyroidectomy can be performed with acceptable morbidity in select cases of DTC who could not be properly diagnosed perioperatively or who recurred after less than total thyroidectomy.

Hyperthyroid cats that develop azotemia following successful radioiodine treatment have shorter survival times compared to cats that remain nonazotemic.

Objective: Many hyperthyroid cats (15% to 50%) have concurrent chronic kidney disease (CKD) that is "masked" and will not become azotemic until after treatment. Previous studies reported that mild-to-moderate azotemic CKD after methimazole or thyroidectomy does not adversely affect survival. Our objective was to determine whether hyperthyroid cats with masked CKD rendered euthyroid with radioiodine (131I) have shorter survival than 131I-treated euthyroid cats that remain nonazotemic.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of intravenous lidocaine injection on the half-maximum effective concentration (EC50) of remifentanil in preventing cough due to tracheal extubation in female patients undergoing thyroid surgery by Dixon's sequential method.
Methods: A total of 50 female patients underwent elective thyroidectomy were randomly divided into two groups of a 1:1 ratio. Group L (lidocaine group) was given intravenous lidocaine (1.
Comparison of diagnostic performance of the current score-based ultrasound risk stratification systems according to thyroid nodule size.

Department of Ultrasound, The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, China.
Background: The lack of standardization in risk stratification systems (RSSs) has led to uncertainty in selecting the most effective RSS for diagnosing malignancy risk in thyroid nodules. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic performance of four current score-based RSSs according to thyroid nodule size, with the goal of determining the most effective RSS and aiding in clinical decision-making.
Methods: Between July 2013 and January 2019, a total of 2,667 consecutive patients presenting with 3,944 thyroid nodules were pathologically diagnosed after thyroidectomy and/or ultrasound (US)-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA).

Background: Pre-operative detection of skip metastasis in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is significant in preventing recurrence. The study aimed to investigate the characteristics and prognosis of skip metastasis to lateral neck in PTC patients by a cross-sectional study.
Methods: Between 2013 and 2016, 494 patients who underwent thyroidectomy for PTC and positive lateral lymph node metastases (LLNM) were retrospectively identified.
