    Summary

    This study details 12 thyroid cancer cases with tracheal invasion, focusing on surgical resection and reconstruction. Most patients recovered well after tracheal surgery, highlighting successful management of this rare complication.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Otorhinolaryngology

    Background:

    • Thyroid carcinoma can rarely invade adjacent structures like the trachea.
    • Tracheal invasion presents diagnostic and surgical challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report surgical outcomes for well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma with tracheal invasion.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of tracheal resection and reconstruction techniques.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 12 patients with thyroid carcinoma invading the trachea.
    • Surgical procedures included hemithyroidectomy, neck dissection, and tracheal resection.
    • Tracheal reconstruction involved end-to-end anastomosis, cricoid cartilage anastomosis, or thyroid cartilage anastomosis.

    Main Results:

    • Preoperative diagnosis of tracheal invasion was achieved in 9/12 patients via endoscopy and CT.
    • Ten out of 12 patients had favorable outcomes postoperatively, with follow-up ranging from 3 months to over 5 years.
    • Two patients experienced mortality: one from recurrent tumor bleeding and another from postoperative gastrointestinal bleeding.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical resection and reconstruction are feasible for thyroid carcinoma with tracheal invasion.
    • Early diagnosis and appropriate surgical techniques contribute to favorable patient outcomes.
    • Tracheal invasion, though rare, requires specialized surgical management.
