Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the therapeutic effects between the axillary bilateral-breast approach (ABBA) and bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) for robotic thyroidectomy.To explore the efficacy, safety, cosmetic results and clinical value by the two approaches.
Thyroid surgery is a quite painful procedure performed in a sensitive skin area of the human body. Unless pain is treated adequately thyroid surgery may cause severe postoperative pain and discomfort for the patients. a2-Agonists are sympatholytic and centrally acting antihypertensive agents. In addition to their hypotensive effect, a2-agonists are also used in anesthetic practice for their sedative and analgesic effects. Tizanidine is a centrally acting a2-agonist with muscle relaxant, sedative and anxiolytic properties. This drug is widely used for the treatment of spasticity and has recently been used to treat musculoskeletal pain conditions. Ultrasound (US) guidance during regional anesthesia practices has been a revolutionary advancement to improve success and safety of regional anesthesia. Analgesic effect of US guidance superficial cervical plexus block (SCPB) in patients undergoing thyroid surgery has not been reported yet. The aim of this study was to evaluate the analgesic effect of preemptive oral single dose tizanidine and US guidance SCPB in patients undergoing elective thyroid surgery. The investigators hypothesis that: Tizanidine and US guided SCPB can reduce the pain scores, analgesic consumption, analgesic related side effects.
Patients underwent thyroidectomy filled an computer or paper based QoL questionnaire before and after operation.
Patients undergoing thyroidectomy are suffering not only surgical wound pain but posterior neck pain because of neck extension position during the surgery. However, there has been little attention of posterior neck pain. Nefopam and Propacetamol have different pharmacodynamics and been used for postoperative pain control in thyroidectomy patients. The aim of this study is evaluation of combination effect of Nefopam and Propacetamol for acute wound pain, posterior neck pain and chronic pain after thyroidectomy.
The investigators tried to explore an alternative non-depolarizing muscle relaxant (rocuronium) and its optimal dosage to replace succinylcholine for IONM during thyroid surgery.Time frame of outcome measure was during 30 to 70min after rocuronium injection. Specific time points at which the will be assessed and for EMG signals will be presented.
After thyroid surgery, the incidence and severity of coughing is important because it may cause serious complications, such as bleeding in the surgical field, laryngospasm, and cardiovascular disturbance. Several studies have shown that the single-dose of dexmedetomidine is effective for reducing cough and agitation during emergence from general anesthesia. To test the hypothesis that single-dose of dexmedetomidine combined with a low-dose remifentanil infusion during emergence from general anaesthesia could reduce coughing as good as high-dose remifentanil infusion, we will evaluate the efficacy on cough suppression and reduction of side effect of remifentanil using non-inferiority trial.
The purpose of this study is to test the investigators hypothesis that intubation with a smaller ETT would lead to reduced postoperative vocal impairment and laryngoscopic evidence of laryngeal trauma than intubation with a standard size ETT.
The study is to compare the postoperative recovery, as determined by postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after preoperative application of single-dose dexamethasone versus saline in patients undergoing partial or total thyroidectomy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects and safety of oxidized, regenerated cellulose as an absorbable adhesion barrier after thyroidectomy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if intraoperative neuromonitoring associated to neurostimulation of recurrent laryngeal nerve reduce the rate of recurrent laryngeal palsy respect to neurostimulation alone.
