Summary
Surgical treatment for neck-retrosternal goiter is effective, with most cases managed via cervical access. Following a structured algorithm for mobilizing the thyroid gland
Area of Science:
- Endocrinology
- Surgical Oncology
- Head and Neck Surgery
Context:
- Retrosternal goiters present unique surgical challenges due to their substernal extension.
- Accurate classification of retrosternal goiter extension is crucial for surgical planning.
Purpose:
- To analyze the operative treatment outcomes for patients with neck-retrosternal goiter.
- To evaluate the efficacy of surgical intervention using a neck-based approach.
Summary:
- Operative treatment results for 91 patients with neck-retrosternal goiter were analyzed.
- The I. Cohen, H. Cho classification (1994) revealed varying degrees of retrosternal extension (41 first-degree, 28 second-degree, 17 third-degree, 5 fourth-degree).
- Neck access is feasible for most cases, with initial mobilization of the cervical thyroid lobe part being key.
Impact:
- Adherence to a defined surgical algorithm can prevent complications.
- This approach facilitates good postoperative results in managing retrosternal goiters.

The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a vital part of the human respiratory system. It serves as a passageway for air to travel between the larynx and the bronchi, allowing oxygen to reach the lungs. Let's explore its anatomical features, dimensions, layers of the tracheal wall, associated muscles, and the functions of its parts.
Anatomical Features:
Location: About half of the trachea is situated in the neck, anterior to the esophagus, and extends from the larynx (at the level of...
