BACKGROUND: Parathyroid failure is the most common complication after total thyroidectomy but permanent impairment of the parathyroid function is unusual. Limited data is available assessing long-term follow-up, quality of life and complications occurring in patients with permanent hypoparathyroidism (PH). We aimed to assess the incidence of complications derived from PH status, their influence on...
BACKGROUND: Retrospective studies have shown that delayed high-normal serum calcium and detectable iPTH are independent variables positively influencing outcome of prolonged parathyroid failure after total thyroidectomy (TT). The aim of the present study was to examine prospectively the ability of these two variables to predict permanent hypoparathyroidism in patients under replacement therapy for...
Da Vinci surgical system is the most advanced minimally invasive surgical platform in the world, and this system has been widely used in cardiac surge...
The objective of the present study was to elaborate the program for differential diagnostics of acute pharyngeal diseases based on the 'ENT-Neuro' art...
BACKGROUND: We aimed to evaluate the impact of bupivacaine administration into the surgical field after total thyroidectomy on post-operative pain and...
In this video we describe transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA). Inclusion criteria are (I) patients who had a ultrasonograp...
Glass-free three-dimensional (3D) endoscopic provide excellent depth perception without decreasing light quality and fog formation. Herein we report o...
BACKGROUND: There is an ongoing debate about whether robotic thyroidectomy (RT) is appropriate for Graves' disease. The aim of this study was to compa...
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term voice function after robotic thyroidectomy in comparison with conventional transce...
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the learning curve for robotic thyroidectomy using a bilateral axillo-breast approach.
PURPOSE: Oncologic and surgical outcomes of bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) robotic thyroidectomy (RoT) are comparable with those of open thyr...
Transoral robotic-assisted lingual tonsillectomy seems to confirm good tolerability with efficient results in both adult and pediatric populations, an...
Intuitive Surgical Inc. (Sunnyvale, Ca, USA) extended the use of the da Vinci robot to head and neck surgery in 2005 following the previous use in uro...
Surgery to the base of tongue (BOT) in the presence of neoplasm is a challenging topic for head and neck surgeons. This area is difficult to access an...
Management of base of tongue (BOT) is a challenging topic in surgical management of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. After the introduction of transo...
BACKGROUND: In search for less invasive operative techniques, the da Vinci Robot System was introduced in thyroid surgery. Previous studies have repor...
