    Area of Science:

    • Surgical techniques
    • Thyroid gland surgery
    • Recurrent laryngeal nerve identification

    Context:

    • Thyroid gland (TG) operations require careful dissection to avoid recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury.
    • Mobilization of the thyroid gland in the subthyroid space presents anatomical challenges.
    • Pre-operative identification of critical structures is crucial for surgical safety.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate a surgical approach for thyroid gland operations that prioritizes recurrent nerve disclosure before thyroid mobilization.
    • To assess the efficacy and safety of this technique in a clinical setting.
    • To improve outcomes in thyroidectomy procedures.

    Summary:

    • The proposed method involves identifying the recurrent nerves prior to mobilizing the thyroid gland (TG) from its lower border to the sternal notch.
    • This technique was successfully applied in 308 patients undergoing various thyroidectomy procedures, including unilateral lobectomy (242 patients), unilateral lobectomy with contralateral lobe resection (18 patients), and bilateral lobectomy (48 patients).
    • The operations were performed with good results, indicating the effectiveness of this approach.

    Impact:

    • This surgical strategy enhances patient safety during thyroid gland operations by minimizing the risk of recurrent nerve damage.
    • The findings support the adoption of this technique for routine thyroid surgery, potentially leading to reduced complication rates.
    • Improved surgical outcomes and patient recovery are anticipated with the widespread implementation of this recurrent nerve-first approach.
