Sağlık Bakanlığı; T.C. Sağlık Bakanlığı; Bahçeşehir ÜniversitesiObjective: We evaluated the contribution of intraoperative neuromonitoring to the visual and functional identification of the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve.Material and Methods: The prospectively collected data of patients who underwent thyroid surgery with intraoperative neuromonitoring for external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve exploration were assessed retrospectively. The surface endotracheal tube-based Medtronic NIM3 intraoperative neuromonitoring device was used. The external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve function was evaluated by the cricothyroid muscle twitch. In addition, contribution of external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve to the vocal cord adduction was evaluated using electromyographic records.Results: The study included data of 126 (female, 103, male, 23) patients undergoing thyroid surgery, with a mean age of 46.2±,12.2 years (range, 18-75 years), and 215 neck sides were assessed. Two hundred and one (93.5%) of 215 external branch of the superior laryngeal nerves were identified, of which 60 (27.9%) were identified visually before being stimulated with a monopolar stimulator probe. Eighty-nine (41.4%) external branch of the superior laryngeal nerves were identified visually after being identified with a probe. Although 52 (24.1%) external branch of the superior laryngeal nerves were identified with a probe, they were not visualized. Intraoperative neuromonitoring provided a significant contribution to visual (p<,0.001) and functional (p<,0.001) identification of external branch of the superior laryngeal nerves. Additionally, positive electromyographic responses were recorded from 160 external branch of the superior laryngeal nerves (74.4%). Conclusion: Intraoperative neuromonitoring provides an important contribution to visual and functional identification of external branch of the superior laryngeal nerves. We believe that it can not be predicted whether the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve is at risk or not and the nerve is often invisible, thus, intraoperative neuromonitoring may routinely be used in superior pole dissection. Glottic electromyography response obtained via external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve stimulation provides quantifiable information in addition to the simple visualization of the cricothyroid muscle twitch.Publication Metadata only Extralaryngeal division of the recurrent laryngeal nerve: A common and asymmetric anatomical variant(2017) Celayir, Fevzi; Oran Şen, Ebru; Yetkin, Sıtkı Gürkan; Uludağ, Mehmet; Aygün, Nurcihan; İşgör, Adnan; T.C. Sağlık Bakanlığı; T.C. Sağlık Bakanlığı; T.C. Sağlık Bakanlığı; T.C. Sağlık Bakanlığı; T.C. Sağlık Bakanlığı; Bahçeşehir ÜniversitesiObjective: Recognition of extralaryngeal branching of the recurrent laryngeal nerve is crucial because prevention of vocal cord paralysis requires preservation of all branches of the recurrent laryngeal nerve. We assessed the prevalence of extralaryngeal branching of the recurrent laryngeal nerve and the median branching distance from the point of bifurcation to the entry point of the nerve into the larynx.Material and Methods: Prospective operative data on recurrent laryngeal nerve branching were collected from 94 patients who underwent thyroid or parathyroid surgery between September 2011 and May 2012.Results: A total of 161 recurrent laryngeal nerves were examined (82 right, 79 left). Overall, 77 (47.8%) of 161 recurrent laryngeal nerves were bifurcated before entering the larynx. There were 36 (43.9%) branching nerves on the right and 41 (51.9%) branching nerves on the left, and there was no significant difference between the sides in terms of branching (p=0.471). Among 67 patients who underwent bilateral exploration, 28.4% were found to have bilateral branching, 40.3% had unilateral branching, and the remaining 31.3% had no branching. The median branching distance was 15 mm (5-60mm).Conclusion: Extralaryngeal division of recurrent laryngeal nerve is a common and asymmetric anatomical variant. These variations can be easily recognized if the recurrent laryngeal nerve is identified at the level of the inferior thyroid artery and then dissected totally to the entry point of the larynx. Inadvertent division of a branch may lead to vocal cord palsy postoperatively, even when the surgeon believes the integrity of the nerve has been preserved.Publication Open Access Tiroit cerrahisinde intraoperatif sinir monitorizasyonunun temel prensipleri ve standardizasyonu(2017) Uludağ, Mehmet; Kaya, Cemal; Aygün, Nurcihan; Tanal, Mert; İşgör, Adnan; Oba, Sibel; T.C. Sağlık Bakanlığı; T.C. Sağlık Bakanlığı; T.C. Sağlık Bakanlığı; T.C. Sağlık Bakanlığı; Bahçeşehir Üniversitesi; T.C. Sağlık BakanlığıTiroit cerrahisinde intraoperatif sinir monitorizasyonunun temel prensipleri ve standardizasyonuTiroit cerrahisi sonrası oluşan sesle ilgili problemler sık ve en önemli komplikasyonlardandır. Cerrahi sonrası hastanın ses ve solunum problemlerini minimalize edebilmek için hem reküren laringeal sinirin (RLS) hem de süperior laringeal sinirin eksternal dalının (SLSE) korunması gerekir. İntraoperatif nöromonitorizasyon (İONM) sinirin gözle görülmesine ek olarak ameliyat sırasında sinirin motor fonksiyonlarının dinamik olarak değerlendirilmesi temeline dayanan bir yöntemdir. Tiroit cerrahisinde İONM 50 yıl önce kullanılmaya başlanmış ve yüzey elektrotlu endotrakeal tüp ile İONM, amaca uygunluk, basitlik, noninvazif olma ve güvenlilik gibi nedenlerle standart uygulanan yöntem haline gelmiş olup, günümüzde tiroit cerrahisinde bu yöntem kullanılmaktadır. Tiroit cerrahisinde RLS ve SLSE için İONM kullanımı giderek artmaktadır. İONM'nin uygun kullanımı için hem anestezist hem cerrah için deneyim ve standardizasyonu şarttır. Bu bağlamda hem cerrahların hem de anestezistler için öğrenme eğrisi yaklaşık 50-100 arası olgudur. İONM hem RLS hem SLSE'nin bulunmasında ve fonksiyonel olarak değerlendirilmesinde önemli katkı sağlar. RLS monitorizasyonu monitorizasyon probu ile aralıklı veya vagusa uygulanan prob yardımı ile sürekli olarak uygulanabilir. RLS monitorizasyonunun standardizasyonu, preoperatif laringoskopi ile vokal kord muayenesi (L1), RLS diseksiyonu öncesi aynı taraf vagustan uyarı alınması (V1), RLS'nin trakeaozefageal olukta ilk bulunduğu noktada uyarılması (R1), diseksiyon bittikten sonra RLS'nin ortaya konduğu en proksimal noktasından uyarılması (R2), cerrahi alanda kanama kontrolü tamamlandıktan sonra vagusun uyarılması (V2), postoperatif laringoskopi ile vokal kord muayenesini (L2) içerir. V2 postoperatif vokal kord fonksiyonunu öngörmede en uygun testtir. RLS aralıklı İONM'sinde sadece sinirin probla uyarıldığı an ve sinirin uyarıldığı nokta distalinin fonksiyonu hakkında bilgi verir. Sürekli İONM ise RLS'nin vagustan ayrılmadan önce boyunda vagusa uygulanan probla yapılan devamlı uyarı sayesinde cerraha tiroidi diseke ederken RLS fonksiyonunun sürekli takip edilmesini sağlar. SLSE monitorizasyonunda primer olarak ameliyat sahasında bulunan ve SLSE'nin motor siniri olduğu krikotiroid kasın kasılması değerlendirilir. İONM hem RLS hem SLSE'nin bulunmasında ve fonksiyonel olarak değerlendirilmesinde önemli katkı sağlaması ile birlikte tiroidektomiye birçok açıdan katkı sağlayan ve tiroidektominin standartlarını arttıran bir yöntemdirPublication Open Access Complication Risk in Secondary Thyroid Surgery Original Research(2018) Mihmanlı, Mehmet; Uludağ, Mehmet; Yetkin, Gürkan; Aygün, Nurcihan; Besler, Evren; İşgör, Adnan; Sağlık Bilimleri Üniversitesi; Bahçeşehir Üniversitesi; Sağlık Bilimleri Üniversitesi; Tanımlanmamış Kurum; T.C. Sağlık Bakanlığı; Sağlık Bilimleri ÜniversitesiObjectives: Secondary thyroid surgery is rare, compared with primary thyroid surgery. However, secondary surgery has a greater risk of complications due to the formation of scar tissue as well as increased fragility of the tissues following the previous surgery. Several surgical techniques and strategies have been recommended to decrease the complication rate associated with secondary surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the complication rate in patients who underwent secondary thyroid surgery using a lateral approach and intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM).Methods: The data of 44 patients who underwent secondary surgical intervention after thyroid surgery performed for benign or malignant thyroid disease (Group 1), and of 44 patients who underwent primary surgery (Group 2) were compared. Lobectomy patients with a histopathological result of malignant disease, whom were applied completion thyroidectomy were excluded from the study. Secondary surgery was performed using a lateral approach. Access was achieved between the anterior edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle and the strap muscles. In primary surgery, the thyroid lodge was entered through the midline. Standard IONM was applied in all cases. Hypocalcemia was defined as a serum calcium level of <,=8 mg/dL within the first postoperative 48 hours, regardless of clinical symptoms. Transient and permanent recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis was evaluated based on the number of nerves at risk. The lobectomy was considered to be high-risk with the presence of recurrence, Graves' disease, substernal goiter, and application of central dissection.Results: The mean age of Group 1 and 2 was 49.9±,14.1 years and 45±,12.6 years , respectively (range: 22-90 years, p=0.69). Female patients constituted 90.9% (n=40) of the population in Group 1 and 75% (n=33) of the patient population in Group 2 (p=0.87). In Group 1, 11 (25%) patients, and 7 (15.9%) patients in Group 2 underwent surgical intervention due to the presence of a malignant disease (p=0.29). Bilateral intervention was applied in 26 (59.1%) patients in Group 1 and 28 (63.6%) patients in Group 2. The rate of transient and permanent hypocalcemia in Groups 1 and 2 was 34.1% (n=15) vs 22.5%, and 2.5% (n=1) vs 0%, respectively, without any significant intergroup difference (p=0.237, p=1). In Group 1, 71 lobes were operated on, and there were 72 in Group 2. All of the interventions in Group 1 (100%), and 31.9% (n=23) of those in Group 2 were high-risk, and there was a significant intergroup difference (p<,0.0001). The rate of transient and permanent vocal cord paralysis were 4.2% (n=3) vs 2.8% (n=2) and 6.9 % (n=5) vs 0% in Groups 1 and 2, respectively (p=0.719, p=0.245).Conclusion: When performed with a meticulous and attentive technique, secondary surgical intervention can be applied without increasing the incidence of permanent complications. Though there is substantial risk associated with all of these procedures, the rate of vocal cord paralysis was similar to that seen after primary intervention, and was thought to be related to surgical experience and technique, as well as the use of IONM.Publication Open Access Standards and Definitions in Neck Dissections of Differentiated Thyroid Cancer(2018) Uludağ, Mehmet; Tanal, Mert; İşgör, Adnan; Sağlık Bilimleri Üniversitesi; Sağlık Bilimleri Üniversitesi; Bahçeşehir ÜniversitesiPapillary and follicular thyroid carcinomas arising from the follicular epithelial cells and forming differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) consist of >95% of thyroid cancers. Lymph node metastasis to the neck is common in DTC, especially in papillary thyroid cancer. The removal of only the metastatic lymph nodes (berry picking) does not help to achieve a potential positive contribution to the survival and recurrence of lymph node dissection in the DTC. Thus, systematic dissection of the cervical lymph nodes is needed. Today, according to the widely accepted and commonly used definitions and lymph node staging, the deep lymph nodes of the lateral side of the neck are divided into five regions. Based on the fact that some groups have biologically independent regions, Groups I, II, and V are divided into the A and B subgroups. The central region lymph nodes contain VI and VII region lymph nodes, which consist of the prelaryngeal, pretracheal, and right and left paratracheal lymph node groups. Radical neck dissection (RND) is accepted as the standard basic procedure in defining neck dissections. In this method, in addition to all the regions of the Groups I–V lymph nodes at one side, the ipsilateral spinal accessory nerve, internal jugular vein, and sternocleidomastoid muscle are removed. Sparing of one or more of the routinely removed non-lymphatic structures in the RND is called modified RND (MRND), whereas the preservation of one or more of the routinely removed lymph node groups in the RND is termed as selective neck dissection (SND). In difference, the procedure with an addition of a lymph node and/or non-lymphatic structures to routinely removed neck structures in RND is called extended RND. Generally, involving one or more regions of SND are applied for DTC. The removal of the paratracheal, prelaryngeal, and pretracheal lymph node groups at one side is termed as ipsilateral central dissection, whereas the removal of the bilateral paratracheal lymph node groups, in other words, the excision of four lymph node groups in the central region (Groups VI and VII), is defined as bilateral central dissection. In conclusion, bilateral central neck dissection (CND) is the SND in which the regions of VI and VII are removed. In the DTC, CND is prophylactically and therapeutically applied, whereas lateral neck dissection is performed only therapeutically in the presence of clinical metastasis (N1b) in the lateral neck region. Debates on the extent of SNDs to be made in the central and lateral neck regions are still ongoing. Central dissection should be made at least unilaterally. In the lateral side of the neck, SNDs can be applied in different combinations in which at least one region from Groups I to V is removed. The main variables that determine the extent of SND in the central and lateral regions in DTC are the complication rates, the effect of the procedure, and its effect on prognosis and recurrence.Publication Open Access Main Surgical Principles and Methods in Surgical Treatment of Primary Hyperparathyroidism(2019) Uludağ, Mehmet; Aygün, Nurcihan; İşgör, Adnan; Sağlık Bilimleri Üniversitesi; Sağlık Bilimleri Üniversitesi; Bahçeşehir ÜniversitesiThe only curative treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is surgery. The most important factors that increase the success rate of a parathyroidectomy are the establishment of the correct diagnosis and the surgeon’s good knowledge of anatomyand embryology. The lower parathyroid glands develop from the dorsal portion of the third pharyngeal pouch, and the upperparathyroid glands from the fourth pharyngeal pouch. Humans typically have 4 parathyroid glands, however, more than 4 andfewer than 4 have been observed. Typically, the upper parathyroid glands are located in the cricothyroid junction area on theposterolateral portion of the middle and upper third of the thyroid, while the lower parathyroids are located in an area 1 cm indiameter located posterior, lateral, or anterolateral to the lower thyroid pole. Ectopic locations of parathyroid glands outside thenormal anatomical regions due to the abnormal migration during embryological development or acquired ectopy due to migration of enlarged parathyroids are not uncommon. There are various surgical techniques to treat HPT, however, 2 main surgical options are used: bilateral neck exploration (BNE) and minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP). While there are open, endoscopic,and video-assisted MIP (MIVAP) approaches, most often an open lateral MIP technique is used. In addition, endoscopic or roboticparathyroidectomy methods performed from remote regions outside the neck have been reported. Although currently MIP is thestandard treatment option in selected patients with positive imaging, BNE remains the gold standard procedure in parathyroidsurgery. In 80% to 90% of patients with pHPT, a pathological parathyroid gland can be detected with preoperative imaging methods and MIP can be applied. However, the pathological gland may not be found during a MIP procedure as a result of false positiveresults. The parathyroid surgeon must also know the BNE technique and be able to switch to BNE and change the surgical strategyif necessary. If the intended gland is not found in its normal anatomical site, possible embryological and acquired ectopic locationsshould be investigated. It should be kept in mind that MIP and BNE are not alternatives to each other, but rather complementarytechniques for successful treatment in parathyroid surgery.Publication Open Access The Effectiveness of Preoperative Ultrasonography and Scintigraphy in the Pathological Gland Localization in Primary Hyperparathyroidism Patients(2019) Uludağ, Mehmet; Aygün, Nurcihan; İşgör, Adnan; Sağlık Bilimleri Üniversitesi; Sağlık Bilimleri Üniversitesi; Bahçeşehir ÜniversitesiObjectives: Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is a common disease, and its curative treatment is surgical. Nowadays, preoperative localization studies have become standard before surgical treatment, and the first stage imaging methods are ultrasonography and/or scintigraphy. With the contribution of these studies to the localization of the pathological gland, focused surgery hasbecome the first standard of choice. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of ultrasonography and scintigraphy in thepreoperative localization of the pathologic gland or glands in patients who underwent surgical treatment and cure for pHPT.Methods: In this study, the data of the biochemically diagnosed pHPT patients, who had Tc 99m-MIBI scintigraphy and/or ultrasonography for localisation preoperatively, were evaluated retrospectively. The lesion, which was positive in USG or scintigraphyfor localization, was evaluated according to the neck side or neck quadrant, and the results were compared with intraoperativelocalization findings. The effectiveness of both methods and combinations was evaluated with the localization rates, sensitivityand positive predictive values (PPV). The three methods were compared with the Youden index (J).Results: The mean age of 380 patients included in this study was 54.8±12.8 years (20-83). Three hundred eight of them werefemale, and 72 were male. Scintigraphy was performed in 339 patients, USG was performed in 344 patients, and both USG andscintigraphy were performed in 306 patients. One hundred twenty patients (32%) underwent bilateral neck exploration (BNE), and260 patients (68.4%) underwent minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) (unilateral exploration or focused surgery). Singleadenoma was detected in 358 (94%), double adenoma in 10 (3%) and hyperplasia in 12 (3%) patients.Localization rates of USG, scintigraphy, USG and scintigraphy combinations were 53%, 74%, 75%, their sensitivity was 56%, 85%,89%, PPDs were 90%, 86%, 83%. The efficiency of scintigraphy is higher than USG (J: 0.743 vs 0.527). The contribution of scintigraphy to USG in combination with USG was limited (J: 0.743 vs 0.754).The localization rates of USG, scintigraphy, USG and scintigraphy combinations were 46%, 64%, 66%, their sensitivity was 51%,83%, 88%, PPDs were 79%, 74%, 73%. The efficiency of scintigraphy is higher than that of USG (J: 0.64 vs 0.427). The contribution ofscintigraphy to USG in combination with USG was limited (J: 0.64 vs 0.66).Conclusion: In patients with pHPT, scintigraphy is a more effective method for USG as the first step preoperative imaging andshould be preferred as the first method if there is no contraindication. A combination of scintigraphy with USG may contributeminimally to the efficacy of scintigraphy. It may be advantageous for early detection of the pathologic gland in patients with incompatible two imaging and initiating surgery on the positive side of the first scintigraphy. Scintigraphy and USG methods mayallow successful MRP surgery in the majority of patients with pHPT.
