According to traditional surgical methods and routes, it is normal for patients with thyroid-related surgery to be "cut their necks". Leaving conspicuous scars not only affects the appearance, but also reminds patients that they have had a disease and experienced surgery, which is full of psychological burden.
With the advancement of medicine, these unpleasant "scars" can actually be "hidden" in inconspicuous places, which is forgotten. Recently, Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center Head and Neck Department Professor Liu Xuekui’s team used Da Vinci robot to find the most appropriate secret passage and successfully completed the operation for two female patients with thyroid cancer. No trace of surgery.
How to remove thyroid cancer without leaving a mark on the neck?
The two women were both breast cancer patients after surgery. Thyroid cancer was found in a recent physical examination. Those who had been subjected to the knife were really unwilling to leave scars on their conspicuous necks, so they approached Professor Liu Xuekui's team for treatment.
Can I treat thyroid cancer without surgery? After discussion, Professor Liu Xuekui's team still recommended surgery."Compared with other cancers, thyroid cancer has the characteristics of slow development, no obvious accompanying symptoms, and low malignancy. The treatment method is mainly surgical resection, and most patients have a good prognosis. "Professor Liu Xuekui explained.
In addition to the traditional open surgery, there are newer minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of thyroid cancer. Professor Liu Xuekui’s team decided to use Da Vinci robots or endoscopic assisted surgery, and by looking for a “secret passage” to achieve no neck marks.
▲ Professor Liu Xuekui established surgical cavity
by axillary dissection approach focus The patient can be discharged in three days
After admission, the expert team found that the two women’s conditions were similar, and the malignant thyroid disease was highly suspected to be on the same side as the previous breast cancer lesions, and the opposite side of the thyroid gland was still Suspicious benign nodules.
The patient’s complex condition,Such as open surgery, it is inevitable to leave long scars after surgery. In order to reduce the trauma to the patients, Professor Liu Xuekui operated the Da Vinci robot to perform "transaxillary approach to one side of the thyroid lobe and the other side of the lobectomy + VI lymph node dissection" for the two patients.
▲ Professor Liu Xuekui operates the robot console strong Accurate.” Professor Liu Xuekui introduced that the operation did not create any new wounds for the patient. The wounds of the thyroid cancer surgery are still the patients’ previous breast cancer surgery incisions.
With the help of a magnified high-definition field of view and a flexible robotic arm, Professor Liu Xuekui’s team quickly and successfully performed radical resection of thyroid cancer for two patients and removed the benign nodules of the contralateral thyroid gland. .
▲The robotic arm of the Da Vinci robot assisted in completing the operation _ _span8 span2 _p5span The two women can eat and drink normally, and they can walk down the ground the next day. They speak normally, have no complications related to thyroid surgery, and their necks are still perfect. On the third day after surgery, the drainage tube can be pulled out and discharged from the hospital.
▲ Operate according to the patient’s original axillary incision, the patient’s neck has no surgical incision, according to Professor Liu Span10span
Progress, people's continuous improvement in the quality of life, and the continuous promotion of the concept of precision treatment. The treatment of thyroid-related diseases through surgery has evolved from the initial pursuit of curative effects to ensuring the therapeutic effects while taking into account the aesthetic effects after surgery.
Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center Huangpu District has the latest generation of surgical robots in Guangzhou. According to the needs of patients, surgical incisions are transferred to other hidden parts of the body, through the establishment of surgical tunnels, and endoscopy The completion of the operation with assistance can ensure that the thyroid cancer is cured, and at the same time ensure that the patient’s neck is free of scars, achieving a perfect balance between medicine and aesthetics.
