Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Head and Neck Surgery

Background:

  • Thyroid cancer with lateral lymph node metastasis often requires neck dissection.
  • Traditional neck dissection can lead to significant scarring and cosmetic concerns.
  • Minimally invasive techniques aim to improve cosmetic outcomes and reduce invasiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a minilaparoscopy-assisted modified neck dissection technique through a bilateral breast approach for thyroid cancer.
  • To demonstrate the surgical steps and identification of key anatomical structures during the procedure.
  • To evaluate the cosmetic and invasive aspects of this surgical approach.

Main Methods:

  • A video demonstration of minilaparoscopy-assisted modified neck dissection via a bilateral areolar approach.
  • The technique involves specific incisions and dissection planes to access neck structures.
  • Key anatomical landmarks such as cranial nerves and vascular structures are identified and preserved.

Main Results:

  • The procedure was successfully performed on a patient with papillary thyroid carcinoma and lateral lymph node metastasis.
  • The patient experienced no postoperative complications and was discharged within 6 days.
  • The technique provided good cosmetic results with minimal invasion.

Conclusions:

  • Minilaparoscopy-assisted modified neck dissection through a bilateral breast approach is a viable option for selected thyroid cancer patients.
  • This technique offers superior cosmetic results and reduced invasiveness, particularly for young patients with lateral lymph node metastasis.
  • It is a preferred method for N1b thyroid cancer cases without mediastinal lymph node involvement.
