“…In the last few decades, with an increasing prevalence and overdetection rate of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) on a global scale, [1][2][3] the management of which becomes more precise and particularly crucial. In addition, papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC), defined as the papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) with a diameter maximum of 10 mm, accounts for a considerable proportion of the DTC which should also be paid enough attention.…”

Purpose Thermal ablation (TA), as one of the most currently remarkable technologies, has achieved great success in many malignant diseases including but not limited to hepatic and renal carcinoma. In recent years, this technology was gradually introduced to the treatment of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) and even papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Thereby, we summarized the current progress of TA development in the treatment of PTMC. Methods The latest relevant literature from the PubMed database with keywords “thermal ablation”, “papillary thyroid microcarcinoma”, “microwave ablation”, “radio-frequency ablation”, and “laser ablation”, among others, were comprehensively reviewed in this article. The follow-up outcomes of patients in these articles were analyzed. Results The efficacy and safety of TA including microwave ablation (MWA), laser ablation (LA), and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in the treatment of PTC and PTC have been intensively studied. Based on existing clinical trials, the relatively long-term follow-up (range, from 6 to 64.2 months) results in MWA, LA, and RFA were satisfactory that tumor volume reduction rate (VRR) reached and even surpass 99%. Compared with routine surgery methods (total thyroidectomy and lobectomy), the incidence rate of complications was relatively lower and the recurrence rate of TA techniques was not statistically significant, whereas the operative time, blood loss, length of hospital stay, and hospital cost were significantly decreased. Conclusion TA presents the same satisfactory therapeutic effects but minimal postoperative trauma can significantly improve the patients’ quality of life. However, future larger sample, multicenter, and prospective randomized controlled trials are urgently needed to validate the feasibility of TA in dealing with PTMC.

“…For instance, as two retrospective studies determined, HS only accounted for 0.2-0.3% of postoperative complications in patients who underwent thyroid surgery [4,14]. With an increasing prevalence of thyroid malignancy around the world [15,16], surgery remains an important initial choice for patients with thyroid carcinoma. Despite the significant development of minimally invasive surgical techniques for surgery, especially ETS with or without robotic assistance, some rare complications, such as HS, were still observed with these methods.…”

Case report and literature review: Horner syndrome subsequent to endoscopic thyroid surgery

et al. 2021

Background Horner syndrome (HS), mainly characterized by symptoms including ptosis, miosis, and anhidrosis on the affected face, is a condition that is well documented but rarely reported as a postoperative complication of thyroidectomy, particularly in endoscopic thyroid surgery (ETS). We hereby report a case of HS due to ETS with a brief literature review on this topic. Case presentation A 31-year-old female was admitted to our hospital with an unexpected physical examination finding of two thyroid nodules that were hypoechoic, had an irregular shape, and exhibited calcification. Subsequently, the results of a fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy from the thyroid nodules and BRAFV600E mutation further confirmed the malignancy of these nodules. Thus, total thyroidectomy combined with central lymph node dissection (CLND) by ETS via the bilateral axillo-breast approach was performed on this patient. Histology confirmed the diagnosis of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) concurrent with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT). However, this patient developed HS with ptosis in her left eye on postoperative day 3. All symptoms gradually resolved before the 3-month follow-up. Conclusion HS subsequent to ETS is a rare complication. Thus, standardized and appropriate operative procedures, as well as subtle manipulation, are essential in preventing and reducing the occurrence of HS. In addition, the early diagnosis and management of this rare complication are also important for a favorable outcome.

“…Ethical approval was obtained from the Ethical Committees of Chinese PLA General Hospital. Inclusion criteria were: (1) patients received total or subtotal thyroidectomy for PTC, and at least one subsequent neck dissection; (2) patients who had contraindications for surgery or refused surgery, or refused to undergo further surgical resection and absent radioiodine uptake at post-therapeutic 131I whole-body scan; (3) patients with at least one metastatic lymph node (which were ready for treatment) confirmed by US-guided biopsy, or confirmed by US and CEUS (Figures 1 and 2) [26]; (4) no evidence of distant metastases. The flowchart of patient selection process was shown in Figure 3.…”

“…Thyroid cancer, the most prevalent endocrine malignancy, accounts for 1% of all malignant neoplasms and has become an increasingly common diagnosis for Americans over the past 25 years [1][2][3]. The situation is as well as in China [4]. Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common histological subtype of thyroid cancer, comprising 80-85% of all thyroid malignancies [1,2].…”

Purpose: Our purpose is to assess the efficacy and safety of percutaneous US-guided microwave ablation (MWA) for cervical metastatic lymph nodes from papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC). Methods: In total, 37 patients with 98 cervical metastatic lymph nodes from PTC were enrolled in this retrospective study. Among them, 8 had subtotal thyroidectomy, 4 lobectomy, 2 no operation, and the rest total thyroidectomy. A multipoint and multiplane fixed ablation method was used. Monitoring of ablation process and clinical follow-up consisted of US or CEUS. Results: All 98 metastatic lymph nodes successfully treated in a single session with 100% complete ablation. The average longest and shortest diameter of the tumors were reduced from 13.21 ± 5.86 mm to 6.74 ± 5.66 mm (p ¼.00) and from 9.29 ± 4.09 mm to 4.31 ± 3.56 mm (p ¼.00) at the final follow-up. There were no evidence of recurrence at ablated sites. The common intraoperative complications were a burning sensation and pain. Only 3 patients had vagal reflex. Conclusions: US-guided MWA can effectively control cervical metastatic lymph nodes from PTC. MWA may become an alternative therapy in selected PTC patients with cervical lymph node metastasis.
