    Abstract: Hypothyroidism is a recognized sequela of conventional thyroid lobectomy. However, there have been no studies on the incidence of hypothyroidism following the preservation of the isthmus and pyramid during lobectomy. Therefore, in the present study, we compared the incidence of hypothyroidism following conventional lobectomy and lobectomy during which the isthmus and pyramidal lobe were preserved. Data for a total of 65 patients collected between September 2018 and April 2019 were reviewed retrospectively. Circulating thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) concentration was measured before and after surgery in a group who underwent conventional thyroid lobectomy (n = 29) and in a group in which the isthmus and pyramid were preserved (n = 36). We found no significant difference in TSH concentration between the two groups before surgery, or 3 months or 1 year after surgery. Thus, there might be no difference in the incidence of postoperative hypothyroidism between patients who undergo conventional thyroid lobectomy and those in which the isthmus and pyramid are preserved.

    A Novel RET D898Y Germline Mutation in a Patient with Pheochromocytoma

    Abstract: Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma are tumors of neuroectoderm origin. Up to 40% of patients with these tumors have germline mutations in known susceptibility genes. We report a novel RET germline mutation (exon 15; c.2692G 〉 T (D898Y)) in a pheochromocytoma patient, as well as in her two asymptomatic sons and older sister. A 49-year-old female came to our clinic presenting with a right adrenal gland mass detected during a healthcare examination. Her mother and two sisters had previously undergone thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid carcinomas. The levels of vanillylmandelic acid and other catecholamines were elevated in 24-hour urine, and an imaging study revealed a right adrenal mass. She underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy and the final pathologic diagnosis was pheochromocytoma. Mutation screening detected a RET p.D898Y mutation, both in the patient and in the patient’s two sons and older sister. This is the first description of a RET D898Y mutation in a pheochromocytoma patient and her family. The mutation should be categorized as a variant of unknown significance because no RET gene related disorders were detected in this family. Long term follow-up will be required to determine the clinical significance of the RET D898Y mutation.

    Systematic Review of Surgical Approaches for Adrenal Tumors: Lateral Transperitoneal versus Posterior Retroperitoneal and Laparoscopic versus Robotic Adrenalectomy

    Abstract: Background . Laparoscopic lateral transperitoneal adrenalectomy (LTA) has been the standard method for resecting benign adrenal gland tumors. Recently, however, laparoscopic posterior retroperitoneal adrenalectomy (PRA) has been more popular as an alternative method. This systematic review evaluates current evidence on adrenalectomy techniques, comparing laparoscopic LTA with PRA and laparoscopic adrenalectomy with robotic adrenalectomy. Methods . PubMed, Embase, and ISI Web of Knowledge databases were searched systematically for studies comparing surgical outcomes of laparoscopic LTA versus PRA and laparoscopic versus robotic adrenalectomy. The studies were evaluated according to the PRISMA statement. Results . Eight studies comparing laparoscopic PRA and LTA showed that laparoscopic PRA was superior or at least comparable to laparoscopic LTA in operation time, blood loss, pain score, hospital stay, and return to normal activity. Conversion rates and complication rates were similar. Six studies comparing robotic and laparoscopic adrenalectomy found that outcomes and complications were similar. Conclusion . Laparoscopic PRA was more effective than LTA, especially in reducing operation time and hospital stay, but there was no evidence showing that robotic adrenalectomy was superior to laparoscopic adrenalectomy. Cost reductions and further technical advances are needed for wider application of robotic adrenalectomy.
