Abstract
Revision surgery of the central neck compartment is still a controversial subject, and data are scarce in the literature regarding surgical approaches and outcomes. This might be a result of the small number of patients in need of revision of the central neck compartment. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to document the approach and outcomes for revision surgery of the central neck compartment performed in our clinic. The files of patients who had undergone revision surgery of the central neck compartment in the Clinic of Otorhinolaryngology, Ankara Numune Training and Research Hospital, between 2007 and 2013, were evaluated. The subjects included 61 patients who had previously undergone surgical intervention in the central neck compartment and had then undergone bilateral lymph node dissection covering at least levels 6 and 7 in our clinic. Patient ages ranged between 36 and 63 years (mean, 47.2 y; SD = 8.3 y). The complications seen after revision surgery were temporary recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy in 4 patients (6.6%), temporary hypocalcemia in 8 patients (13.1%), and permanent hypocalcemia in 3 patients (4.9%). No permanent recurrent laryngeal nerve damage, wound infection, or hematoma was encountered. Meticulous surgical dissection with identification of the recurrent laryngeal nerve and the implantation site of the parathyroid glands may safeguard against complications. Reoperative surgery in the central compartment of the neck allows the removal of recurrent/persistent disease and has acceptable morbidity.

Abstract
Optimal treatment for differentiated thyroid carcinoma is controversial with respect to the extent of thyroid resection, the extent and technique of nodal dissection and use of prophylactic radioiodine treatment. Postoperative complications, such as recurrent laryngeal nerve injury and definitive hypoparathyroidism, have carried great weight in the discussion regarding how radical the surgical treatment should be. The discussion of whether total thyroidectomy or lesser procedures should be the treatment for thyroid carcinomas has been protracted. Now, reasonable agreement exists that total thyroidectomy is the best treatment and the focus of the discussion has moved to the treatment of lymph nodes. At the time of diagnosis, node metastases are a common finding in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer, in particular papillary carcinoma. The argument supporting a radical approach to lymph node excision is that the presence of node metastases increases the recurrence rate. Advocates for the conservative approach believe that little association exists between node metastases and death from thyroid carcinoma. This paper reviews relevant medical literature published in the English language on surgery of lymph nodes in differentiated thyroid cancer with well-controlled trials. Searches were last updated in June 2006.

Abstract
The concept of radioguided surgery, which was first developed some 60 years ago, involves the use of a radiation detection probe system for the intraoperative detection of radionuclides. The use of gamma detection probe technology in radioguided surgery has tremendously expanded and has evolved into what is now considered an established discipline within the practice of surgery, revolutionizing the surgical management of many malignancies, including breast cancer, melanoma, and colorectal cancer, as well as the surgical management of parathyroid disease. The impact of radioguided surgery on the surgical management of cancer patients includes providing vital and real-time information to the surgeon regarding the location and extent of disease, as well as regarding the assessment of surgical resection margins. Additionally, it has allowed the surgeon to minimize the surgical invasiveness of many diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, while still maintaining maximum benefit to the cancer patient. In the current review, we have attempted to comprehensively evaluate the history, technical aspects, and clinical applications of radioguided surgery using gamma detection probe technology.

Iodine-131 radio-guided surgery in differentiated thyroid cancer: Outcome on 31 patients and review of the literature. Biomed Pharmacother 2007; 61:477-81. [PMID: 17761397 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2007.07.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2007] [Revised: 03/16/2007] [Accepted: 07/19/2007] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
In the present study we investigated the role of radio-guided surgery with Iodine-131 (I-131) in a group of 31 patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) and loco-regional recurrent disease. The principal inclusion criterion for I-131 radio-guided surgery in our protocol was the presence of an I-131 positive loco-regional disease relapse after previous total thyroidectomy and at least 2 ineffective conventional I-131 treatments. The protocol we used consisted of the following steps. Day 0: all patients were hospitalized and received a therapeutic 3.7 GBq (100 mCi) dose of I-131 after thyroid hormone therapy withdrawal in condition of overt hypothyroidism (serum TSH levels>30 microUI/ml). Day 3: a whole body scan following the therapeutic I-131 dose (TxWBS) administration was acquired. Day 5: neck surgery was performed through a wide bilateral neck exploration using a 15-mm collimated gamma probe, measuring the absolute intra-operative counts and calculating the lesion to background (L/B) ratio. Day 7: post-surgery TxWBS was performed using the remaining radioactivity to evaluate the completeness of tumoral lesions extirpation. The final histologic examination showed the presence of 184 metastatic foci; among them, 98 (53.2%) were evident by both TxWBS and gamma probe evaluation, 76 (41.3%) were demonstrated only by gamma probe, and 10 (5.4%) were negative by both TxWBS and gamma probe evaluation. During follow-up (8 months to 4.9 years, mean 2.8 years), DxWBS, serum Tg levels off l-T4, and US showed absence of loco-regional disease in 25 patients (80.6%) while 6 patients had persistent disease. In conclusion, this protocol allowed us to identify neoplastic foci with high sensitivity and specificity, enabling us to remove loco-regional I-131 disease recurrences resistant to previous conventional I-131 therapies. Furthermore, the gamma probe allowed detection of some additional tumoral foci in sclerotic areas or located behind vascular structures that were not visualized at the pre-surgery TxWBS evaluation.
