    Tumor thickness as a predictive factor of lymph node metastasis and disease recurrence in T1N0 and T2N0 squamous cell carcinoma of the oral tongue
    (2014) MATOS, Leandro Luongo de; MANFRO, Gabriel; SANTOS, Ricardo Vieira dos; STABENOW, Elaine; MELLO, Evandro Sobroza de; ALVES, Venancio Avancini F.; PINTO, Fabio Roberto; KULCSAR, Marco Aurelio Vamondes; BRANDAO, Lenine Garcia; CERNEA, Claudio Roberto
    Objective. The aim of the study was to compare the thickness of primary tumors with the frequency of nodal metastases and survival in patients surgically treated for T1/T2N0 oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma. Study Design. This is a retrospective longitudinal study with 74 patients. Results. None of the patients with a tumor thickness (TT) <= 7 mm presented with nodal metastasis, whereas 25 of the patients with a TT > 7 mm (51.0%) developed metastases (P < .0001). Multivariate analysis showed that TT > 7 mm was a risk factor for occult nodal metastasis (odds ratio = 8.7; P = .002) with 81.9% accuracy. TT > 10 mm was also a predictive factor of worse disease-free survival in these patients (hazard ratio = 12.2; P = .003). Conclusions. Tumor thickness of greater than 7 mm is predictive of a higher incidence of lymph node metastasis, and a TT > 10 mm is predictive of worse disease-free survival in squamous cell carcinoma of the oral tongue.

    (2012) CERNEA, Claudio R.; BRANDAO, Lenine G.; HOJAIJ, Flavio C.; CARLUCCI JR., Dorival De; BRANDAO, Jose; CAVALHEIRO, Beatriz; SONDERMANN, Adriana
    Background 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

    Biometric measurements involving the terminal portion of the thoracic duct on left cervical level IV: an anatomic study
    (2016) LOUZADA, Andressa Cristina Sposato; LIM, Soo Jin; PALLAZZO, Jaqueline Fabiano; SILVA, Viviane Passarelli Ramin; OLIVEIRA, Ruan Vitor Silva de; YOSHIO, Alvaro Masahiro; ARAUJO-NETO, Vergilius Jose Furtado de; LEITE, Ana Kober Nogueira; SILVEIRA, Andre; SIMOES, Cesar; BRANDAO, Lenine Garcia; MATOS, Leandro Luongo de; CERNEA, Claudio Roberto
    To determine the point of entrance of the thoracic duct in the venous system, as well as to evaluate some biometric measurements concerning its terminal portion, we conducted an anatomic study on 25 non-preserved cadavers. The termination of the thoracic duct occurred on the confluence between the left internal jugular vein and the left subclavian vein in 60 % of the individuals. The average results for the biometric measurements were: distance between the end of left internal jugular vein and omohyoid muscle 31.2 +/- A 2.7 mm; distance between the end of thoracic duct and the left internal jugular vein 0.0 +/- A 0.0 mm; distance between the end of thoracic duct and the left subclavian vein 3.6 +/- A 1.0 mm; distance between the end of thoracic duct and the left brachiocephalic vein 10.7 +/- A 3.1 mm. Moreover, it was identified that the left internal jugular vein length in level IV, measured between its entrance in the left subclavian vein and the omohyoid muscle, was able to predict the termination of the thoracic duct on the junction between the left internal jugular vein and the left subclavian vein (OR = 2.99) with high accuracy (79.3 %). In addition, the left internal jugular vein length at level IV was able to predict the localization of thoracic duct termination. Thus, this finding has practical value in minimizing the risk for a potential chyle leak during or after a left-sided neck dissection.

    Lymph node distribution in the central compartment of the neck: An anatomic study
    (2014) TAVARES, Marcos Roberto; CRUZ, Jose Arnaldo Shiomi da; WAISBERG, Daniel Reis; TOLEDO, Sergio Pereira de Almeida; TAKEDA, Flavio Roberto; CERNEA, Claudio Roberto; CAPELOZZI, Vera Luiza; BRANDAO, Lenine Garcia
    Background. Dissection of the central compartment of the neck (CCN) is performed for proven or suspected lymph node metastases of thyroid carcinoma. During this procedure, the recurrent laryngeal nerves and the parathyroid glands are at risk. The purpose of this study was to determine the anatomic distribution of the lymph nodes in the CCN. Methods. The anatomic distribution of the lymph nodes in the CCN was studied by dissection of 30 fresh cadavers. The soft tissue between the cricoid cartilage and the innominate vein, carotid arteries, and prevertebral fascia was removed and divided according to CCN sublevels. Nodules were identified by palpation in the specimen and sent for pathological examination. Results. Three to 44 (18.5 +/- 10.29) nodules were identified macroscopically. Two to 42 nodules were confirmed as lymph nodes after microscopic examination. The lymph node distribution was as follows: precricoid: 0 to 2 (0.9 +/- 0.72); pretracheal: 1 of 35 (12.4 +/- 8.19); lateral to the right recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN): 0 to 11 (3.4 +/- 2.34); and lateral to the left: 0 to 4 (1.7 +/- 1.30). Twenty-six parathyroid glands were removed by 14 dissections. The innominate vein was found at 15 mm above the superior border of the clavicles to 35 mm below on the left side of the neck and 5 to 45 mm on the right side. Conclusion. The number of confirmed lymph nodes in the central neck varied from 2 to 42. Sixty-seven percent of the lymph nodes were in the pretracheal sublevel. There was no division between level VI and VII lymph nodes. Additionally, the innominate vein was found to be from 15 mm above the superior border of the clavicles to 35 mm below on the left side of the neck and 5 to 45 mm on the right side. Parathyroid glands were identified to be far away from the thyroid gland. (C) 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    Effects of Time on Ultrastructural Integrity of Parathyroid Tissue Before Cryopreservation
    (2011) BARREIRA, Carlos Eduardo Santa Ritta; CERNEA, Claudio Roberto; BRANDAO, Lenine Garcia; CUSTODIO, Melani Ribeiro; CALDINI, Elia Tamaso Espin Garcia; MONTENEGRO, Fabio Luiz de Menezes
    Cryopreservation of parathyroid tissue is used in the surgical treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism. After surgical resection, the tissue is temporarily maintained in a cell culture solution until it arrives at the specialized laboratory where the cryopreservation process will take place. The present study evaluates the time that the human hyperplastic parathyroid gland tissue can wait before cryopreservation, based on parathyroid cell ultrastructural integrity. This prospective study included 11 patients who underwent total parathyroidectomy with heterotopic autotransplantation and cryopreservation of parathyroid tissue fragments. Part of the tissue was kept in cell culture solution at 4A degrees C. Five time periods between 2 and 24 h were defined, and parathyroid fragments were kept in the solution for that length of time. At the end of each period, the fragments were removed from the transport solution, fixed, and prepared for ultrathin sections. Of the 11 cases studied, 10 showed ultrastructural findings consistent with cellular viability in tissue fragments that remained in the transport solution up to 12 h. Electron microscopy revealed that cell adhesion and the integrity of plasma membranes, nuclei, and mitochondria were preserved in one case for up to 24 h. Changes in mitochondrial structure represented the most constant ultrastructural damage seen in the cases studied, in addition to the presence of edema and cell vacuoles. Analysis of the ultrastructure of hyperplastic parathyroid gland tissue showed that ultrastructural integrity was in most cases properly maintained in fragments stored up to 12 h in a cell culture solution at 4A degrees C.
