The Thyroid Gland01:23

The Thyroid Gland

4.1K
The thyroid gland is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck and covers the anterior surface of the trachea. The gland has two lateral lobes connected by a thin tissue mass called the isthmus. Internally, each lobe comprises many small spherical structures known as thyroid follicles, surrounded by a network of blood vessels.
The follicles have a central cavity lined by simple cuboidal to squamous epithelial cells called follicular cells. These cells produce the glycoprotein...

Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones

4.8K
Low blood levels of the thyroid hormones — triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) — signal the hypothalamus to release the thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). TRH then reaches the pituitary gland and stimulates the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH) into the bloodstream.
Upon reaching the thyroid gland, TSH stimulates the follicular cells' active uptake of iodide ions from the blood. The ions diffuse to the apical surface of the cells and are oxidized to iodine. The...

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Conventional thyroid surgery often results in visible neck scars, a significant concern for young patients, particularly females, seeking cosmetic outcomes.
  • Extra-cervical surgical approaches are evolving to address the demand for scarless thyroid surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate patient selection criteria for endoscopic thyroid surgery.
  • To assess various surgical approaches and their outcomes.
  • To determine patient satisfaction with scarless thyroid surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study of 50 patients over 3 years.
  • Inclusion of euthyroid patients aged 15-60 with palpable thyroid swellings requiring surgery and concerned about neck scars.
  • Detailed clinical history, examination, and counseling were performed.

Main Results:

  • The study included 45 females and 5 males, with the majority in the 21-30 age group.
  • Neck swelling was the primary presentation, with Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) often suggestive of colloid goiter.
  • The study focused on evaluating endoscopic techniques for scar minimization.

Conclusions:

  • Endoscopic thyroid surgery is primarily indicated for young patients with benign thyroid tumors under 3 cm.
  • Transaxillary and retroauricular approaches are common, chosen based on patient preference and surgeon expertise.
  • Transaxillary thyroidectomy is a safe alternative to conventional thyroidectomy, offering cosmetic benefits.
