- Negative and positive predictive values of nerve monitoring in thyroidectomy(2012) CERNEA, Claudio R.; BRANDAO, Lenine G.; HOJAIJ, Flavio C.; CARLUCCI JR., Dorival De; BRANDAO, Jose; CAVALHEIRO, Beatriz; SONDERMANN, AdrianaBackground Recurrent nerve injury is 1 of the most important complications of thyroidectomy. During the last decade, nerve monitoring has gained increasing acceptance in several centers as a method to predict and to document nerve function at the end of the operation. We evaluated the efficacy of a nerve monitoring system in a series of patients who underwent thyroidectomy and critically analyzed the negative predictive value (NPV) and positive predictive value (PPV) of the method. Methods. NIM System efficacy was prospectively analyzed in 447 patients who underwent thyroidectomy between 2001 and 2008 (366 female/81 male; 420 white/47 nonwhite; 11 to 82 years of age; median, 43 years old). There were 421 total thyroidectomies and 26 partial thyroidectomies, leading to 868 nerves at risk. The gold standard to evaluate inferior laryngeal nerve function was early postoperative videolaryngoscopy, which was repeated after 4 to 6 months in all patients with abnormal endoscopic findings. Results. At the early evaluation, 858 nerves (98.8%) presented normal videolaryngoscopic features after surgery. Ten paretic/paralyzed nerves (1.2%) were detected (2 unexpected unilateral paresis, 2 unexpected bilateral paresis, 1 unexpected unilateral paralysis, 1 unexpected bilateral paralyses, and 1 expected unilateral paralysis). At the late videolaryngoscopy, only 2 permanent nerve paralyses were noted (0.2%), with an ultimate result of 99.8% functioning nerves. Nerve monitoring showed absent or markedly reduced electrical activity at the end of the operations in 25/868 nerves (2.9%), including all 10 endoscopically compromised nerves, with 15 false-positive results. There were no false-negative results. Therefore, the PPV was 40.0%, and the NPV was 100%. Conclusions. In the present series, nerve monitoring had a very high PPV but a low NPV for the detection of recurrent nerve injury. (C) 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck 34: 175-179, 2012
- Practical tips to reduce complication rate in thyroidectomy(2017) CERNEA, Claudio; BRANDAO, Lenine G.; HOJAIJ, Flavio C.; CARLUCCI, Dorival De; VANDERLEI, Felipe; GOTODA, Renato; LEITE, Ana K.; KULCSAR, Marco A. V.; MATOS, Leandro L.; DEDIVITIS, Rogerio A.; ARAUJO-FILHO, Vergilius J. F.; TAVARES, Marcos R.Introduction: Thyroid cancer is the most frequent endocrine neoplasm, and its incidence has been consistently rising during the last decades. Surgical treatment is the choice, but the complications can be truly devastating. Methods: The objective of this article is to present some practical tips to reduce the complication rate in thyroid surgery. Results: The more frequent complications during a thyroidectomy are mentioned, as well as practical tips to try to prevent them: acute airway compression, nerve injuries (both inferior laryngeal and external branch of the superior laryngeal nerves), and hypoparathyroidism. Conclusion: The prevention of complications during a thyroidectomy is imperative. The only way that the surgeon can assure the safety is to strictly adhere to technical principles, with diligent hemostasis, thorough anatomical knowledge, and gentle handling of the anatomic structures adjacent to the thyroid gland.
- Epithelial salivary gland tumors in pediatric patients: An international collaborative study(2023) OLIVEIRA, Gabriella Alves Quixabeira; PEREZ-DE-OLIVEIRA, Maria Eduarda; ROBINSON, Liam; KHURRAM, Syed Ali; HUNTER, Keith; SPEIGHT, Paul M.; KOWALSKI, Luiz Paulo; PINTO, Clovis Antonio Lopes; SA, Raisa Sales De; MENDONCA, Elismauro Francisco; SOUSA-NETO, Sebastiao Silverio; JR, Dorival de Carlucci; MARIANO, Fernanda Viviane; ALTEMANI, Albina Messias de Almeida Milani; MARTINS, Manoela Domingues; ZANELLA, Virgilio Gonzales; PEREZ, Danyel Elias da Cruz; SANTOS, Jean Nunes dos; ROMANACH, Mario Jose; ABRAHAO, Aline Correa; ANDRADE, Bruno Augusto Benevenuto de; PONTES, Helder Antonio Rebelo; JR, Jacks Jorge; SANTOS-SILVA, Alan Roger; LOPES, Marcio Ajudarte; HEERDEN, Willie F. P. Van; VARGAS, Pablo AgustinObjective: Salivary gland tumors (SGT) are a diverse group of uncommon neoplasms that are rare in pediatric patients. This study aimed to characterize the clinicopathological profile of pediatric patients affected by SGT from a large case series derived from an international group of academic centers.Study design: A retrospective analysis of pediatric patients with SGT (0-19 years old) diagnosed between 2000 and 2021 from Brazil, South Africa, and the United Kingdom was performed. SPSS Statistics for Windows was used for a quantitative analysis of the data, with a descriptive analysis of the clinicopathological characteristics and the association between clinical variables and diagnoses.Results: A total of 203 cases of epithelial SGT were included. Females were slightly more commonly (56.5%), with a mean age of 14.1 years. The palate was the most common site (43.5%), followed by the parotid gland (29%), lip (10%), and submandibular gland (7.5%). The predominant clinical presentation was a flesh-colored, smooth, and painless nodule. Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) was the most frequently diagnosed SGT (58.6%), followed by mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) (26.6%). Surgery (90.8%) was the favored treatment option.Conclusions: Benign SGT in pediatric patients are more commonly benign than malignant tumors. Clinicians should keep PA and MEC in mind when assessing nodular lesions of possible salivary gland origin in pediatric patients.
- Active Surveillance of Thyroid Microcarcinomas: a Critical View(2022) CERNEA, Claudio R.; MATOS, Leandro Luongo; EUGENIO, Cecilia; FERREIRA, Giovanna Mattos; CERQUEIRA, Yasmin Sa; LEITE, Ana Kober N.; VANDERLEI, Felipe A. B.; CARLUCCI, Dorival de; GOTODA, Renato N.; HOJAIJ, Flavio C.; ARAUJO-FILHO, Vergilius J. F.Purpose of the Review There has been an increasing interest on active surveillance for papillary thyroid microcarcinomas (PTMC) in the literature. We will analyze the contributions of those authors who support this approach in most patients with low-risk tumors. Recent Findings The development of molecular methods to effectively detect aggressive PTMC at the fine-needle aspiration biopsy will enable the sound indication of immediate surgery in those patients, assuring the other individuals with the far more frequent indolent PTMC will undergo active surveillance with less anxiety. Several studies compared the quality of life between patients with PTMC who underwent active surveillance with immediate total thyroidectomy. However, thyroid lobectomy is a quite acceptable intermediate alternative for most patients with PTMC, with less surgical morbidity. Summary It is important to wait for worldwide validation, with reports from low- and middle-income areas, before recommending the routine adoption of active surveillance for patients with PTMC, due to difficult logistic obstacles in those environments.

bookPart Tumores das glândulas salivares(2021) MATSUURA, Danielli; CARLUCCI JUNIOR, Dorival; GOTODA, Renato- Abdominal compression: A new intraoperative maneuver to detect chyle fistulas during left neck dissections that include level IV(2012) CERNEA, Claudio R.; HOJAIJ, Flavio C.; CARLUCCI JR., Dorival De; TAVARES, Marcos R.; ARAUJO-FILHO, Vergilius J.; SILVA-FILHO, Gilberto Britto e; BRANDAO, Lenine G.Background Chyle fistulas may occur after left neck dissections that include level IV, due to injury of the thoracic duct or of 1 of its major branches. Despite being unusual, this complication carries substantial postoperative morbidity and even mortality. So far, no effective intraoperative maneuver has been reported to detect this fistula at the end of a neck dissection. In this cohort study, we sought to describe a simple new maneuver, intraoperative abdominal compression, which can effectively help to identify an open major lymphatic duct on level IV at the end of a neck dissection. Patients and Methods From March 1989 to September 2010, 206 patients underwent neck dissections involving left level IV, and underwent intraoperative abdominal compression. There were 119 men and 87 women, with ages ranging from 18 to 81 years (median, 52 years). One hundred forty-four patients had squamous cell carcinomas, 54 had thyroid carcinomas, 5 had malignant melanomas, and 3 had salivary cancers. Distribution by type of left neck dissection was: selective including levels II, III, and IV (73 cases; 35.4%), selective including levels II, III, IV, and V (55 cases; 26.6%), selective including levels I, II, III, and IV (12 cases; 5.8%), modified radical (47 cases; 22.8%), and radical (19 cases; 9.2%). In all cases, at the end of the procedure, the endotracheal tube was temporarily disconnected from the ventilator. Keeping the dissected level IV area under clear visualization, an abdominal compression was performed. At this moment, any detected lymphatic leak was carefully clamped and tied with nonabsorbable sutures. After ventilating the patient, the intraoperative abdominal compression was repeated to reassure complete occlusion of the lymphatic vessel. Results In 13 cases (6.3%), a chyle leak was detected after performing the intraoperative abdominal compression. All leaks except for 2 were successfully controlled after 1 attempt. In these 2 patients, a patch of muscle and fat tissue was applied with fibrin glue on the top. In 1 of these patients, another chyle leak in a different location was detected only at the second intraoperative abdominal compression, and was also effectively closed. Postoperatively, there were 2 (1%) chyle fistulas, both among these 13 cases, and all were successfully managed with clinical measures only. No fistulas occurred among the remaining 193 patients in whom intraoperative abdominal compression did not demonstrate lymphatic leak. Conclusion To our knowledge, this is the first description of a specific maneuver to actively detect a lymphatic fistula at the end of a left neck dissection involving level IV. In this study, intraoperative abdominal compression was able to detect an open lymphatic vessel in 6.3% of the cases, as well as to assure its effective sealing in the remaining 93.7% of the patients. Moreover, no life-threatening high-volume fistula was noted in this study. (C) 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck, 2012
