The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of robotic thyroid lobectomy via Bilateral Axlio-Breast Approach (BABA) and endoscopic thyroid lobectomy on the voice function. A total of 125 patients with thyroid cancer from March 2021 to July 2022 were divided into the robotic thyroid lobectomy group and the endoscopic thyroid lobectomy group. Acoustic index and voice handicap index (VHI-10) were compared between the 2 groups before and after (1 week, 1 month, 3 month) the surgery. In the robotic group, VHI-10 score was not significantly different before and after the surgery. In the endoscopic group, VHI-10 score after the surgery was significantly higher than that before the surgery. In the endoscopic group, the fundamental frequency (F0) declined significantly 1 week and 1 month after the surgery compared with that before the surgery. One week after surgery, F0 in the endoscopic group was (197.91 ± 24.15) Hz, which was significantly lower than that (206.77 ± 20.13) Hz in the robotic group. In the robotic group, there was no obvious decline in F0 and MPT in each follow-up period after surgery compared with those before surgery. In the endoscopic group, MPT declined significantly 1 week after the surgery compared with that before surgery. One week after surgery, MPT in the endoscopic group was (13.02 ± 9.28) s, which was significantly lower than that (17.55 ± 9.25) s in the robotic groups. There were no significant differences in Shimmer, Jitter, DSI and NHR during all postoperative follow-up periods compared with those before surgery in both groups. The voice function of robotic thyroid lobectomy via BABA is superior to endoscopic thyroid lobectomy.

Approach to the Patient with Thyroid Cancer: Selection and Management of Candidates for Lobectomy.

Thyroid lobectomy has gained increasing popularity over the past decade as a treatment for differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), largely due to a rise in the diagnosis of low-risk cancers and evidence showing no benefit from radioiodine in low-risk disease. Multiple studies have confirmed lobectomy as an effective and safe option. Its advantages over total thyroidectomy include lower complication rates and a reduced need for lifelong levothyroxine (LT4) therapy.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic outcomes of thyroidectomy extent in unilateral TNM T1 or T2 papillary thyroid carcinoma with lateral lymph node metastasis.

Methods: Retrospective data were collected from unilateral papillary thyroid carcinoma patients with unilateral lymph node metastasis who underwent surgery at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from 2011 to 2022. Patients were categorized into 2 groups based on the extent of the thyroidectomy (total thyroidectomy versus lobectomy).

Background: The ATA guidelines suggest lobectomy as an option for select patients with thyroid cancer (TC), but some may need completion thyroidectomy because of unfavorable characteristics on the final pathology. This study aimed to compare postoperative morbidity of patients with TC who underwent total thyroidectomy in two steps (TT2) or one step (TT1).

Methods: This was a retrospective comparative study in a high-volume endocrine surgery center.

This study aimed to determine whether lobectomy is appropriate for the long-term prognosis of 1-4-cm-sized differential thyroid cancer (DTC). This retrospective study included 2,178 patients with 1-4-cm DTC treated via thyroid lobectomy (LT) or total or near-total thyroidectomy (TT) and who were followed up for at least 3 years. The primary endpoint was a structural incomplete response, which was confirmed via imaging with or without a positive histological or cytological examination.

Parathyroid adenoma is a common endocrine disorder, but its intrathyroid presentation is relatively rare. The traditional approach, such as thyroid blind lobectomy, is the most frequent modality of treatment due to the possible unclear localization of the adenoma in the preoperative workup. This increases the risk of unnecessary probability of hypothyroidism.
