    Indocyanine green fluorescence angiography-guided transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy: First clinical report
    (Elsevier, 2020) Turan, Mehmet Ilker; Celik, Mehmet; Ertuerk, Mehmet Sercan
    Background: Indocyanine green fluorescence (ICG) angiography has been used for many purposes including as part of a focused parathyroidectomy technique. Concomitant fluorescence of thyroid tissue may cause challenges defining parathyroid tissue during surgery, since ICG is not a selective fluorescent agent. On the other hand, cosmesis is still a big problem for patients due to the visible neck scars produced by the standard surgical technique. In this study, we described a novel technique to solve both these handicaps. Materials and methods: Seven patients who underwent ICG fluorescence angiography-guided transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy vestibular approach between February 2018 and July 2019 were included. Serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels were measured intraoperatively and on postoperative day 1. Fluorescent images were confirmed with intraoperative quick-PTH levels. Results: All operations were done successfully without conversion to open surgery. Intense and isolated parathyroid fluorescent images were achieved in all operations. All patients had a 50 % decrease between the baseline and final quick-PTH levels and the final quick-PTH levels were in the normal range in all. One of 7 patients had epistaxis due to nasotracheal intubation. One of 7 patients had seroma on post-operative day 5. None of patients had mental nerve injury, permanent hypocalcemia and temporary or permanent recurrent laryngeal nerve injury. Conclusion: ICG-guided transoral endoscopic thyroid and parathyroid surgery can be used in select patients to increase operative success in focused parathyroidectomy with excellent cosmetic outcome also noted.

    Transoral endoscopic parathyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOEPVA) for primary hyperparathyroidism: Turkey's experience

    Aim Parathyroid surgery has witnessed a significant evolution with the introduction of more efficacious preoperative localization imaging techniques and the use of rapid intraoperative parathormone assays. Parathyroid surgery can now be performed with the minimum of invasion. Through the adaptation of the transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA), the technique has now been adopted for parathyroid surgery, known as the transoral endoscopic parathyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOEPVA). We present here the initial experiences of 11 centers carrying out TOEPVA surgery in Turkey. Materials and methods Participating in the study were 11 centers, all of which were tertiary care institutions carrying out endocrine surgery. A retrospective review was made of 35 primary hyperparathyroidism patients who underwent the TOEPVA procedure between July 2017 and January 2020. Results Of the total 35 patients, 32 patients underwent the TOEPVA procedure successfully. All patients but one were female, and the mean age was 47.2 (20-73) years. According to localization studies, 18 of the lesions were lower left, 12 were lower right, 3 were upper right and 2 were upper left. The mean operative time was 116 (30-225) min, and three cases were converted to an open procedure. Simultaneous thyroidectomy was performed in seven cases. The average PTH level dropped to normal within 20 min. after the resection in all cases. The complication rate was 19% (ecchymosis, subcutaneous emphysema, nasal bleeding, surgical site infection and seroma). There were neither recurrent nerve palsies, nor mental nerve root or branch injuries. The average hospital stay was 1 day. No persistence was documented on follow up. Conclusion TOEPVA is a hidden scar parathyroidectomy procedure that can be safely performed on parathyroid adenomas, in cases that have scar-related concerns. Having its own procedure-related complications, the procedure provides satisfactory objective results, particularly in centers experienced in endoscopic and endocrine surgery.
