This color atlas is a detailed guide on how to perform open, endoscopic, and robotic thyroidectomy techniques safely and effectively. Each chapter offers step-by-step descriptions of essential surgical procedures and techniques. Relevant information is included on surgical anatomy, and clear guidance is provided on preoperative set-up, draping, instrumentation, and complications and their treatment. The description of endoscopic thyroidectomy techniques focuses on the bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA), while in the case of robotic thyroidectomy both BABA and the bilateral axillo-postauricular approach are described. In each case, the evidence supporting the technique is carefully examined. In the closing chapter, the role of new energy sources in thyroid surgery is discussed. The lucid text is supported by more than 200 full-color illustrations clarifying surgical anatomy, instrumentation, and procedures, and surgical video clips are also available to readers via a website. This atlas will be invaluable in enabling surgeons to achieve optimal outcomes when performing thyroid surgery.

This surgical atlas illustrates the various successful thyroid surgery techniques of world-renowned surgeons. Some approaches presented include total thyroidectomy, right thyroid lobectomy, left thyroid lobectomy, minimally invasive approach to thyroidectomy, video-assisted approach to thyroidectomy, and endoscopic approaches, such as the transaxillary approach, bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA), and trans-oral thyroid surgery (TOEVA). The Atlas is intended for a broader audience than publications for other procedures since thyroidectomy is among the most common neck procedures. The Atlas of Thyroid Surgery will help all surgeons caring for patients with thyroid disease minimize complications and perform successful thyroidectomy.

This colour atlas is a concise guide to thyroid surgery, presented predominantly through pictures rather than text, helping to demonstrate surgical procedures in a step by step manner. The book covers numerous diseases and disorders of the thyroid and parathyroid glands, presenting the latest techniques and best practice, as well as practical suggestions on how to avoid surgical complications and how to manage them if they do arise. This highly useful, practical reference is richly illustrated with high quality images and intraoperative photographs. Key points Practical colour atlas illustrating latest techniques and best practice in thyroid surgery Covers most thyroid and parathyroid gland disorders and diseases Includes suggestions on how to avoid surgical complications Richly illustrated with intraoperative photographs and images

An outstanding reference for performing successful thyroid operations Atlas of Thyroid Surgery: Principles, Practice, and Clinical Cases is a concise guide for the surgical management of thyroid disease. Divided in three main parts, the book opens with an overview of surgical anatomy and surgical techniques. The author provides a detailed description of the technique of capsular dissection as well as surgical cases that aid in the comprehension of important concepts. The book then features an in-depth discussion of thyroid nodules, including follicular neoplasms and nodules in Graves and Hashimoto disease, covering basic science, genetics, clinical aspects, imaging, diagnosis, and surgical strategies. In the final part, the atlas addresses the management of malignant tumors, including papillary, anaplastic, and medullary carcinoma, and describes the principles of classification, treatment strategies along with current therapeutic controversies, and results. For differentiated thyroid carcinoma, contemporary strategies focus on selective risk-dependent treatment that allows for the protection of patients from overtreatment.Highlights: Descriptions of endocrine pathophysiology and the pathogenesis of nodular goiter and thyroid neoplasms Thorough discussion of the capsular dissection technique and its essential advantages as a minimally invasive approach with low morbidity Numerous clinical cases with step-by-step demonstrations of surgical procedures and concise comments on management, helping clinicians prepare for range of scenarios encountered in everyday practice 120 clear line drawings and full-color photographs that illustrate key concepts Surgical videos on accompanying Thieme MediaCenter web page present detailed surgical technique in five clinical cases with cross references to the text Atlas of Thyroid Surgery: Principles, Practice, and Clinical Cases is a superb guide for general surgeons and endocrine and ENT surgeons operating on the thyroid. Endocrinologists, oncologists, pathologists, and residents in these specialties will also greatly benefit from the wealth of information provided in the text.
