“…Hypocalcemia was defined as a case receiving calcium replacement therapy to reduce hypocalcemic symptoms, or with a serum calcium level ,8.0 mg/dl, or ionized calcium level ,1.13 mmol/l RLNP was defined as the presence of hoarseness or vocal cord palsy confirmed post-operatively by an otolaryngologist by laryngoscopic evaluation, thyroidectomy-related voice questionnaire administration, and acoustic and perceptual analyses, which was described in the previous study (15). Transient and permanent complications were defined with a cut-off time of 6 months.…”

Objective: Age is one of the important prognostic factors in thyroid cancer, and old age is generally related to higher rate of post-operative morbidity and mortality. The study analyzed the characteristics of thyroid cancer in elderly patients compared with those in younger patients. Methods: Patients who underwent surgery between 1992 and 2011 were enrolled. The patients were divided into those 70 years of age (older group) and ,70 years of age (younger group). Data including clinicopathological features and post-operative complications was analyzed. Molecular markers including Galectin-3, Cyclooxygenase-2, bcl-2, Cyclin D1, Epidermal growth factor receptor and BRAF mutation were reviewed. Survival analyses including recurrence-free survival and overall survival were examined. Results: Of 1867 patients, 98 were age-classified in older group and the remaining 1769 were in younger group. Older group displayed larger tumor size, and increased extrathyroidal extension, vascular invasion and neural invasion than younger group, and all were statistically significant. Molecular marker analyses revealed no significant differences between the groups. Post-operative complication rates were not significantly different between the older and younger groups in both univariate and multivariate analyses. Elderly patients showed poor recurrencefree survival and overall survival than younger patients in univariate analyses. However, age 70 years was not associated with poor recurrence-free survival after adjustment of confounding factors. Conclusion: Molecular features of elderly patients may be similar with younger patients. Even though aggravated clinicopathological features of thyroid carcinoma are more prevalent in elderly patients, thyroid surgery in elderly patients can be performed with favorable surgical and oncological outcomes.

Introduction: Transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) has become increasingly popular. Several reports have emphasized the safety and efficacy of this new approach. However, there is no report on functional voice outcomes, including voice pitch change after TOETVA. Methods: The functional voice outcomes of patients undergoing TOETVA were compared with those of patients undergoing conventional thyroidectomy. A total of 82 consecutive patients were included in the study: 44 underwent thyroid lobectomy via TOETVA (transoral group) and 38 underwent thyroid lobectomy via the classic cervical approach (open group). Thyroidectomy-related voice questionnaire (TVQ), perceptual voice analysis, fiberoptic laryngoscopic and videolaryngostroboscopic examinations, and acoustic analysis were carried out before and one month after surgery. The changes in these values after surgery and the differences between the transoral and open groups were analyzed. Results: We found no significant postoperative change in voice workups in either group. The mean high pitch decreased (from 367.91 ± 120.98 to 325.80 ± 100.86 Hz, p = 0.069) in the transoral group, but statistical significance was not attained. Clinically significant changes in pitch (postoperative change in speaking fundamental frequency, ΔSFF ≥ 12) after surgery were evident in seven (15.91%) patients in the transoral group and eight (21.05%) patients in the open group without significant difference (p = 0.579). Conclusions: This is the first study to assess functional voice outcomes (including pitch) after TOETVA compared with conventional open surgery. TOETVA was associated with good voice outcomes without any significant drop in pitch.
