Division of Endocrine Surgery, Rhode Island Hospital, and the Warren Alpert Medical School of Medicine of Brown University, Providence, RI 02906, USA.
Background: There is controversy regarding the need for prophylactic level VI central node dissection in patients with low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). This study focuses on the incidence of persistent level VI nodal disease in low-risk PTC without prophylactic central node dissection.
Methods: PTC was known at the time of thyroidectomy in 304 of the 761 patients who had initial thyroid surgery from 2001 to 2007.
