Observation of passive symmetrical vocal cord movements during breathing by laryngeal ultrasonography is useful in assessing vocal cord function⁴; however, flexible-fiberoptic fibrolaringoscopy (FFL) is gold standard for assessing vocal cord movements,⁵ anticipating potential RLN damage. We report FFL monitoring during RFA under general sedation on a large thyroid nodule. FFL during RFA may detect RLN irritation and dysfunction if asymmetry in passive vocal cord movements is noted. Should asymmetry appear, RFA operator stops delivering energy and repositions electrode needle. <b><i>Materials and Methods:</i></b> Thyroid function tests, blood glucose, creatinine, transaminase, International-Normalized-Ratio, and electrocardiogram were performed. Operating room (OR) layout created sufficient space for ear-nose-throat (ENT) and RFA operators. An examination with a fiberscope camera demonstrated normal vocal cord adduction during phonation and abduction during breathing. The procedure was assisted by an anesthetist administering fentanyl 50 mcg, midazolam 1.5 to 5.0 mg, and propofol infusion 2 mg/(kg·h). General sedation was conducted so that reflexes were attenuated but still observable. Incorporating in OR by an anesthetist who performs general sedation reduces side effects and complications.⁶ Ultrasonography showed a 34-mL right lobe nodule abutting on the RLN area. After sedation with propofol, the ENT specialist inserted an endoscope until the glottic plane. During calm breathing, vocal cords moved symmetrically. After obtaining anterior nodule hydrodissection from strap and sternocleidomastoid muscles with 10 mL of 2% lidocaine, posterior hydrodissection was achieved by ultrasound-guided administration of 30 mL of 5% cold glucose. Anterior and posterior hydrodissections merged, separating nodule from neck structures. The radiofrequency electrode needle was then inserted into the nodule, initially positioned in inferior nodule portion adjacent to danger triangle previously isolated by hydrodissection. Initial power was 30 watts. Moving-shot technique was used. <b><i>Results:</i></b> FFL was performed throughout thyroid RFA.

Cappola","doi":"10.1089/ve.2023.0025","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1089/ve.2023.0025","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Thyroid hormone, in some form, has been in use for the treatment of hypothyroidism since at least the 15th century. Although thyroid hormone therapy plays an essential role in the management of hypothyroidism, it has also been misused for more dubious indications. Materials and Methods: Authors performed a search of PubMed, the American Thyroid Association (ATA) website, to include the Thyroid History Timeline that is part of the Clark T. Sawin History Resource Center, and a general internet search to identify publications and internet postings relevant to the use and abuse of thyroid hormone. Results: Documented examples of various treatments for goiter and hypothyroidism extend back to 2700 BC when seaweed was used for the treatment of goiter. In 1475, Wang Hei, a Chinese physician, reported the use of minced thyroid as a treatment for goiter. In 1891, Dr. Murray introduced the use of thyroid extract as a therapy for myxedema. Edward Kendall, PhD, at Mayo Clinic went on to isolate thyroxine in 1914 with it becoming commercially available by 1917. T3 was later isolated by Rosalind Pitt-Rivers, PhD, and Dr. Jack Gross in 1953 becoming clinically available in 1956. Various other thyroid hormone analogues, such as D-T4 and TRIAC, later became available as well. In the late 19th century, Dr. Brown-Séquard published self-experiments on the use of gland extracts as a means to improve health and restore vitality in older age. The growing indiscriminate use of various gland extracts for dubious indications led to Dr. Edward Rynearson coining the phrase “Endocriminology,” a term further popularized by Dr. Harvey Cushing as to highlight the concern about misuse and abuse of available gland extracts. Desiccated thyroid gland extract began to be used not just for goiter and hypothyroidism but also for additional “indications” such as obesity, sterility, uterine bleeding, and even feeblemindedness to name a few. In 2013, a study of over-the-counter (OTC) supplements marketed for “thyroid support” found that 9 out of 10 products contained either active T4 and/or T3 with the majority containing clinically relevant amounts. The medical literature contains multiple reports of serious adverse outcomes from exposure to supraphysiologic quantities of thyroid hormone contained in various OTC supplements. Unfortunately, the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 Public Law 103-417 by the 103rd Congress precludes the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) from proactively monitoring such products with the FDA only being able to act when problems are reported with a certain herb or supplement. Conclusion: Although thyroid hormone remains a cornerstone for the treatment of hypothyroidism, its misuse and abuse continue to be a source of concern. The ATA is continuing efforts to educate both health care providers and the public on the appropriate use of thyroid hormone and potential risks with its misuse.

Its trajectory since inception has been marked by a steady rise in publications, slightly curtailed by the COVID-19 pandemic. This surge bears testament to scholars' interest in this transformative technique. Initial studies of TOETVA showcased its safety and comparability with existing endoscopic methods. Notably, early complications, typical in pioneering endeavors, such as bruising, skin burns, and perforations, were documented. Anuong's comprehensive assessment of >200 TOETVA cases against open surgery illuminated intriguing parallels in complications and hospital stays, albeit with prolonged operative times and reduced postoperative pain. In subsequent studies with a cohort of 200 cases, TOETVA's statistical analyses showcased its risk parity with the transcervical approach, irrespective of variables such as gender, cancer, or Graves' status. The statistical outlier lay in the prolonged operative time for TOETVA, a trade-off for its distinctive benefits. Global adoption was palpable in Li et al.'s compilation up to 2022.1 This worldwide embrace was mirrored in the Brazilian experience, as numerous groups documented their journey, from initiation in a low-income setting to traversing the learning curve while safeguarding patient safety. Optical augmentation took center stage, from magnifying glasses amplifying surgeons' sight to robotic and endoscopic approaches boasting up to 10-fold optical zoom. The panorama extended into futuristic realms, as augmented reality and artificial intelligence promised to reshape thyroid surgery. Augmented reality platforms envisioned predicting parathyroids, nerves, and lymph nodes. Artificial intelligence offered real-time guidance, from shortening learning curves to identifying critical structures. In conclusion, TOETVA's adoption stands affirmed and resonates globally. Aesthetic concerns reconcile diverse populations. Magnification transcends optics, whereas robotic platforms enrich the endoscopic landscape. This landscape lays a foundation for future technologies.

This study includes a video demonstration of a subtotal sternectomy for metastatic differentiated thyroid carcinoma and reconstruction using a composite methylmethacrylate and Prolene mesh covered with a pedicled latissimus dorsi flap. Materials and Methods: A 70-year-old woman presented with a 6.7-cm lesion involving the manubrium and sternal body. Informed consent was obtained. Her medical history included bilateral mastectomies with implant reconstruction for ductal carcinoma (2014) and a right thyroid lobectomy for a presumptive benign thyroid adenoma (2015). The right thyroid was removed with pathology analysis demonstrating recurrent well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma with features of both follicular thyroid carcinoma and follicular variant papillary thyroid carcinoma. In addition to the changes to the sternum, imaging showed a 1.4-cm nodular enhancing lesion in the right hemithyroidectomy bed. On positron emission tomography/CT, the sternal mass was intensely fluorodeoxyglucose avid. There was no evidence of additional distant metastases. Sternal biopsy demonstrated BRAF V600E positive metastatic follicular thyroid cancer. Results: This case was discussed at multidisciplinary tumor board, and consensus was for upfront surgical resection with likely adjuvant therapy. External beam radiation and radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy were recommended with possible administration of BRAF V600E inhibitors in the event of the development of an unresectable recurrence or progressive distant metastases. The patient underwent a left completion thyroidectomy to facilitate RAI, a right thyroidectomy bed mass excision, and a subtotal sternectomy extending below the fourth rib. Posterior margins of the sternal mass were positive, and the anterior margin was at risk with a clearance of 1 mm. The remainder of the margins was clear. Reconstruction was performed with methylmethacrylate and Prolene mesh, and a pedicled latissimus dorsi flap was used to cover the composite reconstruction. The patient began adjuvant proton beam radiation therapy to the sternum and anterior chest wall ~4 months later, with plans to undergo RAI. Overall, patients do well after a latissimus dorsi pedicled flap with minimal morbidity. A systematic review of donor site morbidity after latissimus dorsi flap (both pedicled and free flap) including 729 cases demonstrated little difficulty in daily activities after surgery but significant difficulty in participating in sports and art activities.5 Eight of 12 articles reported some shoulder strength weakness over time—shoulder extension, adduction, and internal rotation were commonly involved","PeriodicalId":75302,"journal":{"name":"VideoEndocrinology","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134918409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Later this approach was modified by utilizing a gasless approach that is popularized worldwide. The central neck region was accessed directly by dissociation of the sternal and clavicular heads of the SCM. However, this procedure required a 5–6 cm incision and also place a special static retractor. We modified the conventional gasless transaxillary thyroidectomy procedure to a transaxillary gas insufflation approach with shorter incisions, and a smaller flap creation area. This video is aimed to describe the step-by-step procedure of a case of modified endoscopic transaxillary gas insufflation thyroidectomy (ETGT). Case: A 43-year-old woman with a body mass index of 29.6 kg/m2 was found to have a thyroid nodule during physical examination and experienced no tracheal compression or voice changes. However, ultrasonography and CT scan revealed a 1.3 cm nodule in the left lobe of the thyroid, and several enlarged lymph nodes were also identified on the left side of the central neck region. A thyroid biopsy revealed papillary thyroid carcinoma with a mutation in the BRAF gene. Results of all routine preoperative examinations of the patient were within normal ranges. Surgery was indicated and endoscopic transaxillary thyroidectomy plus central neck dissection was chosen. The surgery began with making three incisions of endoscopic portals in the axillary region. After that, the working space was made using an ultrasonic scalpel while running CO2 insufflation. The central neck region was accessed by dissociating the sternal and clavicular heads of the SCM. The sternal heads of SCM, strap muscles, and thyroid gland were lifted by a suture that was retracted by ribbon. The vessels and the thyroid gland around the central neck region were dissociated, and the recurrent laryngeal nerve and the parathyroid glands were protected from injury. The specimen was released from the trap muscle and removed. Results: The technical aspect of the ETGT procedure with a step-by-step description is demonstrated in this video. Conclusions: Thyroidectomy is feasible to be done by this novel transaxillary thyroidectomy procedure with the advantages of shorter incisions and smaller flap creation area than the conventional gasless endoscopic thyroidectomy procedure.
