Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-New research on Oncology - Thyroid Can cer is the subject of a report.According to news reporting from Sacramento,Cal ifornia,by NewsRx journalists,research stated,"Lateral neck dissection (LND) in thyroid cancer has traditionally been performed by a transcervical technique with a large collar incision.With the rise of endoscopic,video-assisted,and r obotic techniques for thyroidectomy,minimally invasive LND is now being perform ed more frequently,with better cosmetic outcomes." The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from the University o f California,"The purpose of this paper is to review the different minimally in vasive and remote access techniques for LND in thyroid cancer.A comprehensive l iterature review was performed using PubMed and Google Scholar search terms ‘thy roid cancer' and ‘lateral neck dissection' and ‘endoscopy OR robot OR endoscopic OR video-assisted'.There are multiple surgical options now available within ea ch subset of endoscopic,video-assisted,and robotic LND.The approach dictates the extent of the LND but almost all techniques access levels II-IV,with variab ility on levels I and V.This review provides an overview of the indications,co ntraindications,surgical and oncologic outcomes for each technique.Though data remains limited,endoscopic and robotic techniques for LND are safe,with impro ved cosmetic results and comparable oncologic and surgical outcomes."
