腹腔镜辅助小切口甲状腺结节手术的临床应用

Objective To study the feasibility, superiority and experience of minimally invasive laparoscopic-assisted surgery of the thyroid using ultrosonic scalpel. Methods In a period from January, 2006-August, 2008, 56 patients of the department of general surgery, the hospital of Heilongjiang Province were diagnosed as thyroid node. The size of the nodes ranged from 5.0 cm×4.2 cm to 3.5 cm×2.0 cm in uhrosonography. An incision of about 1.5-2.0 cm was made 1.0 cm above the suprasternal notch and the operation was performed with ultrosonic scalpel assisted with laparoscope. Partial thyroideetomy of lateral thyroid was performed in 20 cases, subtotal thyroidectomy in 25 cases, subtotal thyroidectomy of unilateral thyroid and partial thyroidectomy of contralateral thyroid respectively in 1 case, partial thyroidectomy of bilateral thyroid in 10 cases. Results All 56 cases have undergone minimally invasive laparoscopic-assisted surgery successfully in 50-146 min and no complications occurred. Fifty five cases were confirmed to be benign lesion pathologically. Conclusion Laparoscopic-assisted surgery of the thyroid is an effective with a good cosmetic result.
