    Abstract: With the recent advances in thyroid cancer surgery techniques and the increasing number of patients concerned about cosmetics, the use of transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy is increasing globally. The aim of this study was to determine whether transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy is truly a clean-contaminated surgery. Methods From September 2016 to April 2018, 20 patients with thyroid cancer underwent transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy performed by a single surgeon at Gangnam Severance Hospital. Before and after surgery, the oral cavity was swabbed to obtain culture samples, and antibiotics were administered before and after surgery each once. Results Of the total 20 patients, no bacteria were identified before or after surgery in eight (40%) patients. Bacteria were identified both before and after surgery in seven patients (35%). In four patients (20%), bacteria were not identified before surgery, but bacteria were identified after surgery. Bacteria were identified before surgery but not after surgery in one patient (5%). No surgical site infection was observed. All the bacteria identified were normal flora of the oral cavity and skin. Conclusions There was no difference between the preoperative culture and postoperative culture of the oral cavity in patients undergoing TOET, and there were no postoperative surgical site infection with prophylactic pre & amp; post-operative antibiotics use. Considering the patient's position and surgical extent in TOET, it appears to be difficult for non-indigenous bacteria to invade the surgical site in oral cavity.

    Abstract: Metachronous lateral neck recurrence after thyroidectomy for N1b papillary thyroid cancer is accompanied by high morbidity and increased difficulty of reoperation. From the perspective of recurrence, the objective of this study was to compare patients who underwent metachronous lateral neck dissection (mLND) despite initial thyroidectomy and patients who underwent synchronous lateral neck dissection (sLND) for papillary thyroid cancer and analyze the risk factors for recurrence after mLND. Method This retrospective study involved 1,760 patients who underwent lateral neck dissection for papillary thyroid cancer at the Gangnam Severance Hospital, a tertiary medical center in Korea, from June 2005 to December 2016. The primary outcome was structural recurrence, and secondary outcome measures were risk factors of recurrence in the mLND group. Result A total of 1,613 patients underwent thyroidectomy and sLND at diagnosis. In 147 patients, thyroidectomy alone was performed at the time of diagnosis, and mLND was performed when recurrence to the lateral neck lymph node was confirmed. During a median follow-up of 102.1 months, 110 (6.3%) patients experienced a recurrence. There was no significant difference in the recurrence between the sLND and mLND groups (6.1% vs 8.2%, P=.32). The period from lateral neck dissection to recurrence was longer in the mLND group than in the sLND group (113.6 ± 39.4 months vs 87.0 ± 33.8 months, respectively, P & lt;.001). Age ≥50 years (adjusted HR=5.209, 95% CI=1.359–19.964; P=.02), tumor size & gt;1.45 cm (adjusted HR=4.022, 95% CI=1.036–15.611; P=.04), and lymph node ratio in the lateral compartment (adjusted HR=4.043, 95% CI=1.079–15.148; P=.04) were independent variables predictive of recurrence after mLND. Conclusion mLND is suitable for treating lateral neck recurrence in patients with N1b papillary thyroid cancer who previously underwent thyroidectomy. Lateral neck recurrence after treatment in patients who underwent mLND was predicted by age, tumor size, and lymph node ratio in the lateral compartment.

    Abstract: The biological behavior of thyroid cancer in children has been known to be different from that in adults. We sought to understand the differences between DTC presentation in pediatric ( & lt;16 years) and adult patients, to guide better prognosis and clinical treatments. Methods This retrospective study included 48 pediatric patients younger than 16 years who underwent initial thyroid surgery and were diagnosed with DTC between January 1992 and December 2014 at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea. For a 1:4 propensity score-matched analysis, adult patients with matched sex and cancer size were included. Results The mean age was 12.54 ± 3.01 years. Total thyroidectomy (70.8%) without lateral lymph node dissection (47.9%) was the most commonly performed surgery. Central (73.9%) and lateral neck node metastases (62.5%) were common; distant metastasis was observed in 2 (4.2%) patients and recurrence occurred in 11 (22.9%). In propensity score-matched analysis, central lymph node metastasis and lateral neck node metastasis were significantly more frequent in pediatric patients. Symptoms were more common in the pediatric group than in the adult group (p & lt; 0.001). In stratified cox regression, pediatric patients were more likely to experience recurrence [HR 5.339 (1.239–23.007)]. In stratified log-rank analysis, recurrence-free survival was significantly different between the adult and pediatric groups (p = 0.0209). Conclusion DTC in the pediatric group revealed more aggressive patterns than in the adult group with the same cancer size. Central lymph node metastasis and lateral neck node metastasis were more frequent. Stratified log-rank analysis revealed that recurrence was significantly higher in pediatric patients than in matched adult patients.

    Abstract: Primary thyroid lymphoma (PTL) is a very rare entity accounting for 5% of all thyroid malignancies and less than 2% of lymphomas. PTLs are classified as non-Hodgkin’s B-cell lymphomas in the majority of cases, although Hodgkin’s lymphoma of the thyroid has also been identified. This study aimed to identify the clinical, biochemical, and pathological features of primary thyroid lymphomas. Methods From January 2008 to December 2020, data from patients diagnosed with PTL treated at the Gangnam Severance Hospital, including clinical, biochemical, and pathological features of thyroid lymphomas, were assessed. Results Of 10 patients, nine women and one man, with a median age of 62 (range, 44–82) years were included. Fine needle aspiration biopsy was performed in nine patients and surgical resection was performed in one patient without biopsy. Excisional and surgical biopsies were performed in all patients, including five who underwent excisional biopsy and five who underwent thyroidectomy. Histological analyses revealed that all 10 lymphomas were non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma; six patients had diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, three had mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, and one had Burkitt lymphoma. Four patients received chemotherapy, two were treated with chemoradiation therapy, one received radiation therapy only, one did not require more treatment after surgery, one refused treatment, and one was transferred to another hospital. Conclusions Although PTLs are scarce, clinicians should be aware of this rare entity and evaluate and treat PTLs on an individual basis.
