Area of Science:

Surgical Oncology
Medical Technology
Otolaryngology

Background:

Thyroid cancer is a prevalent malignancy requiring thorough preoperative assessment for effective surgical treatment.
Thyroidectomy procedures have significantly increased, becoming one of general surgery's most frequent operations.
Postoperative complications, including recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, can substantially impact patient quality of life, despite advances like intraoperative neuromonitoring.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a case of total thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer with lymph node involvement.
To demonstrate the utility of near-ultraviolet (NUV) imaging nerve auto-fluorescent technology in thyroid surgery.
To highlight the potential of NUV imaging in visualizing and protecting critical anatomical structures during thyroidectomy.

Main Methods:

The study involved a patient with a thyroid nodule and cervical lymph node metastasis.
A total thyroidectomy was performed.
Near-ultraviolet (NUV) imaging utilizing nerve auto-fluorescent technology was employed for intraoperative guidance.

Main Results:

NUV imaging enabled clear visualization of vital structures.
The technology facilitated precise identification and protection of nerves and other critical anatomy.
The surgical procedure was successfully completed with the aid of NUV imaging.

Conclusions:

Near-ultraviolet (NUV) imaging nerve auto-fluorescent technology offers a promising method for enhancing safety in thyroidectomy.
This technology can aid surgeons in identifying and preserving crucial structures, potentially minimizing iatrogenic injuries.
The case demonstrates the practical application and benefit of NUV imaging in complex thyroid cancer surgery.
