Therapeutic CLND is done to address clinically significant central compartment nodes in patients with DTC, while prophylactic CLND is performed in the presence of high-risk features in the absence of clinically significant neck nodes. Removal of thymus-unilateral or bilateral-during CLND to achieve complete clearance of level VI and VII lymph node stations and address thymic metastasis is debatable. <b>Objective</b>  The present systematic review was conducted to summarize the evidence, delineating the role of thymectomy during CLND in patients with DTC. <b>Methods</b>  Electronic databases of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane were searched from their inception to July 2020 using keywords-thyroid neoplasms or tumors, thyroidectomy, and thymectomy-to identify the articles describing the role of thymectomy during CLND in DTC. A pooled analysis of surgicopathological outcomes was performed using metaprop command in STATA software version 16. <b>Result</b>  A total of three studies and 347 patients-total thyroidectomy (TT) with bilateral thymectomy in 154, TT with unilateral thymectomy in 166, and TT alone in 27 patients with DTC-were included in the systematic review. The pooled frequency of thymic metastasis was a mere 2% in patients undergoing either unilateral or bilateral thymectomy. The routine addition of thymectomy does not result in better lymph node clearance. Unilateral and bilateral thymectomy were associated with high chances of transient hypocalcemia (12.0% and 56.1%, respectively). <b>Conclusion</b>  Routine thymectomy is not warranted during CLND, considering minimal oncological benefit and high risk of postoperative hypocalcemia.</p>","PeriodicalId":44614,"journal":{"name":"Surgery Journal","volume":"7 4","pages":"e307-e313"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8674089/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39828519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A clear understanding of pelvic anatomy is critical to safely performing a RH and achieving optimal oncological and functional outcomes. The various surgical steps can damage the pelvic autonomic nerves, and a systematic nerve-sparing technique is used for the preservation of autonomic nerves. There is an intricate vascular network in the lateral paracervix (cardinal ligament) and the pelvic sidewall. We need to comprehend the three-dimensional structure of the vascular and nerve anatomy in the pelvis to perform RH effectively and safely. We can create six spaces around the uterine cervix, including the paravesical spaces, pararectal spaces, a vesicovaginal space, and a rectovaginal space to reveal the target of extirpation.

Osteochondral allograft reconstruction (OCAR) is an accepted procedure to restore the joint congruity and for pain relief, particularly in the younger population. Preoperative three-dimensional (3D) planning and patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) are well accepted for the treatment of posttraumatic deformities for several pathologies. The aim of this case report was to provide a guideline and detailed description of the preoperative 3D planning and the intraoperative navigation using PSI in OCAR for posttraumatic defects of the tibia plateau. We present the clinical radiographic results of a patient who was operated with this new technique with a 3.5-year follow-up. <b>Materials and Methods</b>  3D-triangular surface models are created based on preoperative computer tomography (CT) of the injured side and the contralateral side.
