Background:
Surgical treatment for giant thyroid tumors is complex and carries a high risk of complications. Visualization of the tumor shape and its associations with the surrounding tissue are difficult with two-dimensional imaging techniques. It is thus important to explore more effective approaches for preoperative evaluation and surgical assistance.
Cases Presentations:
Three patients with giant thyroid tumors underwent successful surgery with no complications at Liaocheng People's Hospital, between January and December 2024. One patient was a 58-year-old male, while the other two were 60-year-old female patients. All the patients are Chinese, both in nationality and ethnicity. We combined tumor imaging information with three-dimensional medical imaging to enable visualization for preoperative assessment, guiding successful surgical planning.
Conclusions:
The application of three-dimensional medical imaging during surgery for giant thyroid tumors significantly enhanced the accuracy, safety, and efficiency of surgery, resulting in improved patient outcomes and prognosis.
