“…However, according to Bergman’s Encyclopedia of Human Anatomic Variation, the communicating vein, “also known as the vein of Kocher, is often a branch of the common facial vein” and usually drains into the anterior jugular vein [ 31 ]. The authors also document an additional thyroid vein as vein of Kocher or the “fourth thyroid vein” that “is found between the middle and inferior thyroid veins and drains into the internal jugular vein” [ 31 ], which seems the correct assignment of the eponym [ 34 ].…”

(1) Background: The external jugular vein (EJV) descends on the sternocleidomastoid muscle to drain deep into the subclavian vein. Anatomical variations of the EJV are relevant for identification of the greater auricular nerve, flap design and preparation, or EJV cannulation. (2) Methods: Different publications were comprehensively reviewed. Dissections and three-dimensional volume renderings of peculiar cases were used to sample the review. (3) Results: Different anatomical possibilities of the EJV were critically reviewed and documented: fenestrations and double fenestrations, true or false duplications, triplication, absence, aberrant origin or course, or bifurcation. Tributaries of the EJV, such as the facial and posterior external jugular veins, are discussed. The internal jugular vein termination of the EJV is also presented. (4) Conclusions: Care should be taken when different morphological features of the EJV are encountered or reported.

“…Since Theodor Kocher devised the conventional thyroidectomy in the late 19th century, mortality and morbidity have dramatically decreased because of the development of sensitive dissection and antisepsis techniques. This technique remains the standard approach for thyroid surgery [1].…”

Background and Objectives Voice change after thyroidectomy is a common complication that affects a patient’s quality of life. In this study, we aimed to compare voice outcomes between minimally invasive open hemithyroidectomy (MIOT) and conventional hemithyroidectomy.Materials and Method We enrolled 215 patients who underwent hemithyroidectomy performed by an experienced surgeon at our institute between June 2017 and December 2021. All patients underwent voice evaluations, including subjective and objective assessments, preoperatively and 2 weeks and 2 months postoperatively.Results Sixty-one patients underwent MIOT (M group) and 154 patients underwent conventional hemithyroidectomy (C group). There were 50 female (82.0%) and 11 male (18.0%) in the M group, and 129 female (83.8%) and 25 male (16.2%) in the C group. In both groups, the thyroidectomy-related voice questionnaire score increased at 2 weeks and 2 months postoperatively. However, no statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups. Voice parameters were analyzed according to sex. There were some changes in the parameters in both groups. However, no statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups.Conclusion Our study showed no differences in the acoustic results between MIOT and conventional hemithyroidectomy.

Theodor Kocher foi um grande cirurgião suíço que atuou no final do século XIX e início do século XX, contribuindo em diversas áreas da Medicina e sendo o primeiro cirurgião congratulado com um Prêmio Nobel de Medicina e Fisiologia, em 1909. Durante sua presidência da Clínica Cirúrgica da Universidade de Bern, Kocher se tornou referência entre os cirurgiões da Europa e influenciou grandes nomes da cirurgia, tais como Harvey Cushing e William Halsted. Além disso, seu rigor metodológico colaborou com a inserção do método científico na prática médica. Esse artigo de revisão propõe revisitar suas principais contribuições e discutir como seu trabalho influenciou no desenvolvimento da Medicina atual, com destaque para a cirurgia e fisiopatologia da tireóide, cirurgia da hipófise e cirurgia valvar para epilepsia.
