  • The Middle Thyroid Vein: Anatomical and Surgical Aspects
    World Journal of Surgery, 2010
    Co-Authors: Gianlorenzo Dionigi, Terenzio Congiu, Francesca Rovera, Luigi Boni
    Abstract:

    Background An issue that has been overlooked in medical literature concerns the prevalence and topographic relationships of the Middle Thyroid Vein (MTV), which have been studied, with a prospective approach, in patients with various Thyroid diseases. Methods MTV prevalence has been investigated in 394 consecutive lobes and a number of different variables (age, gender, Thyroid pathology, gland weight) have been considered. Moreover, in cooperation with our Human Morphology Department, we brought to completion a dedicated anatomy report, with the clear objective of providing a detailed anatomic description of MTV. Results The prevalence of MTV was 38% of the dissected lobes and 62% of operated patients. Most Veins arise from the mid region of the Thyroid lobe (80%): B , 3 , and 2 positions in accordance with our scheme. As far as Thyroid pathology is concerned, we found that the presence of MTV was more frequent in hyperThyroidism and large goiters ( p

As far as Thyroid pathology is concerned, we found that the presence of MTV was more frequent in hyperThyroidism and large goiters (p < 0.05).A better understanding of the anatomic variability in MTV may be useful not only to minimize the risk of bleeding, but it also can help to perform a more accurate dissection with the goal of preserving the laryngeal nerves and paraThyroid glands, especially because of its location and relationships with other adjacent structures

  • Defining competencies for safe Thyroidectomy: An international Delphi consensus
    eScholarship University of California, 2015
    Co-Authors: Madani A, Quan-yang Duh, Watanabe Y, Vassiliou M, Ls Feldman, Mc Singer, Dt Ruan, Tabah R, Mitmaker E
    Abstract:

    © 2015 Elsevier Inc. Background: Current methods for teaching and assessing competencies that characterize expert intraoperative performance are inconsistent, subjective, and lack standardization. This mixed-methods study was designed to define and establish expert consensus on the most important competencies required to perform a Thyroidectomy safely. Methods: Cognitive task analyses for Thyroidectomy were performed with semistructured interviews of experts in Thyroid surgery. Verbal data were transcribed verbatim, coded, and categorized according to themes that were synthesized into a list of items. Once qualitative data reached saturation, 26 experts were invited to complete 2-round online Delphi surveys to rank each item on a Likert scale of importance (1-7). Consensus was predefined as a Cronbach's α ≥ 0.80. Results: Sixty items were synthesized from 5 interviews and categorized into 8 sections: preparation (n = 8), incision/exposure (n = 11), general considerations (n = 4), Middle Thyroid Vein (n = 1), superior pole (n = 5), inferior pole (n = 5), posterolateral dissection (n = 19), and closure (n = 7). Eighteen (69%) experts from 3 countries participated in the Delphi survey. Consensus was achieved after 2 voting rounds (Cronbach's α = 0.95). Greatest weighted sections included "Superior Pole Dissection" and "Posterolateral Dissection.". Conclusion: Consensus was achieved on defining the most important competencies for safe Thyroidectomy. This blueprint serves as the basis for instructional design and objective assessment tools to evaluate performance
