Article Abstract
Background: Intermittent intraoperative neuromonitoring of the recurrent laryngeal nerve is the ideal complement in thyroid surgeries, decreasing thyroid injuries.
Objective: To analyze the prevalence of recurrent laryngeal nerve injuries with the use and without the use of neuromonitoring in thyroid surgery.
Method: Observational, descriptive and retrospective study, in which a total of 571 patients were included between the years 2012-2018. Of which 180 neuromonitoring was used and 391 were not used.
Results: Of the 180 patients who underwent total thyroidectomy with the use of neuromonitoring, we had a total of 8 (4.4%) transient paralysis and 2 (1.1%) definitive. Without the use of neuromonitoring we obtain 12 (3%) transient paralysis and 7 (1.85%) definitive.
Conclusions: We believe that the use of neuromonitoring complementary to surgery should be used routinely to the usual technique. And we also obtain significant results regarding the reduction of recurrent laryngeal nerve injuries with the use of intraoperative neuromonitoring.

Reality of Zuckerkandl tubercle and relationship with other anatomical variations.
World J Surg
December 2024
Department of General Surgery, University of Health Sciences, Sisli Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey.
Aim: The tubercle of Zuckerkandl (TZ) is considered to be the fusion point of the ultimabranchial body and the median thyroid body. We aimed to evaluate the frequency of TZ and its relationship with other anatomical variations and recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) paralysis.
Material And Methods: Data regarding the thyroid lobe and RLN of patients with thyroidectomy between June 2016 and December 2019 were retrospectively evaluated.
Application of pedicled supraclavicular flaps in hypopharyngectomy with preservation of laryngeal function.
BMC Surg
December 2024
Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, The Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University, No.25, Taiping Street, Jiangyang District, Luzhou, 646000, China.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of pedicled supraclavicular flaps in hypopharyngectomy reconstruction, with a focus on preserving laryngeal function.
Methods: From August 2019 to June 2022, 14 patients with primary hypopharyngeal carcinoma who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and underwent the repair of hypopharyngeal defects using pedicled supraclavicular flaps were included retrospectively. Relevant clinical evaluation indicators include patient characteristics, defect sizes, flap sizes, flap harvesting time, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications, recurrence, and survival outcomes.
The Christie score for post-treatment response assessment PET/CT in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: a safe and simple scoring system.
EJNMMI Rep
December 2024
Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, Oxford Rd, Manchester, M13 9WL, UK.
Background: Radiotherapy with or without concurrent chemotherapy is a standard of care treatment for patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Upon completion, patients are referred for a post-treatment F-FDG PET/CT (Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography) scan to help guide ongoing management by assessing for the presence or absence of residual or recurrent disease and differentiating this from post-treatment inflammation. To improve objective reporting of response, we developed the Christie score.

Clinical predictive models for recurrence and survival in treated laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Front Oncol

Institute for Head and Neck Studies and Education, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, United Kingdom.
Background: The limitations of the traditional TNM system have spurred interest in multivariable models for personalized prognostication in laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers (LSCC/HPSCC). However, the performance of these models depends on the quality of data and modelling methodology, affecting their potential for clinical adoption. This systematic review and meta-analysis (SR-MA) evaluated clinical predictive models (CPMs) for recurrence and survival in treated LSCC/HPSCC.
