<p>എല്ലാ പ്രായക്കാരിലും വരുന്ന ഒരു പ്രയാസമാണ് തൈറോയ്ഡുമായി ബന്ധപ്പെട്ട അസുഖങ്ങള്‍. തൈറോയ്ഡിന്‍റെ പ്രവര്‍ത്തനക്കുറവുമൂലം ഉണ്ടാകുന്ന ഹൈപ്പോ തൈറോയ്ഡിസം ആണ് ഏറ്റവും കൂടുതല്‍ കാണപ്പെടുന്നത്. ഇതുമൂലം ഭാരവര്‍ദ്ധന, ഉറക്കം കൂടുക, ബുദ്ധിമാന്ദ്യം തുടങ്ങി വിവിധ പ്രയാസങ്ങള്‍ ഉണ്ടാകുന്നു. വളരെ സുരക്ഷിതമായി ഉപയോഗിക്കാവുന്ന തൈറോക്സിന്‍ ഗുളിക കഴിച്ചാല്‍ ഹൈപ്പോതൈറോയ്ഡിസം നല്ല തരത്തില്‍ സുഖപ്പെടുത്താം. തൈറോയ്ഡ് ഗ്രന്ഥി അതിലെ ഹോര്‍മോണായ തൈറോക്സിന്‍ ആവശ്യത്തിലധികമായി ഉത്പാദിപ്പിക്കുന്നതാണ് ഹൈപ്പര്‍ തൈറോയ്ഡിസം. പലപ്പോഴും മരുന്നുകൊണ്ട് ഇത് ചികിത്സിച്ച് ഭേദമാക്കാം. നിയന്ത്രണം സാധിക്കാതെ വന്നാല്‍ ഗ്രന്ഥി നീക്കം ചെയ്യേണ്ടിവരും. ഗോയിറ്റര്‍ അഥവാ നോഡ്യൂള്‍ വരുന്നതും വളരെ പേര്‍ക്ക് ബുദ്ധിമുട്ടുണ്ടാകുന്ന രോഗാവസ്ഥയാണ്.</p>

<p>തൈറോയ്ഡ് മുഴകള്‍ കഴുത്തില്‍ അഭംഗി ഉണ്ടാക്കുന്നു. ഗോയിറ്റര്‍ അഥവാ നോഡ്യൂള്‍ വരുന്നതും വളരെ പേര്‍ക്ക് ബുദ്ധിമുട്ടുണ്ടാകുന്ന രോഗാവസ്ഥയാണ്.</p>



<p>തൈറോയ്ഡ് മുഴകള്‍ കഴുത്തില്‍ അഭംഗി ഉളവാക്കുന്നതു കൂടുതല്‍ കാലം ചികിത്സിക്കാതിരുന്നാല്‍ ദോഷഫലങ്ങള്‍ ഉണ്ടാക്കുന്നവയുമാണ്. ഇത് കൂടുതലായും സ്ത്രീകളിലാണ് കാണപ്പെടുന്നത്. ഒരാള്‍ക്ക് ഒന്നോ അതിലധികമോ മുഴകള്‍ തൈറോയ്ഡ് ഗ്രന്ഥിയില്‍ ഉണ്ടെന്ന് കണ്ടാല്‍ സ്കാനിംഗ് പരിശോധനയും, സൂചി പരിശോധനയും (FNAC) നടത്തണം. ഈ പരിശോധനയില്‍ കാന്‍സര്‍ സംശയമില്ലെങ്കില്‍പോലും മുഴയുടെ വലിപ്പം നാല് സെ. മീറ്ററില്‍ അധികമാണെങ്കില്‍ ശസ്ത്രക്രിയ ആവശ്യമായി വരും. ഗ്രന്ഥി പകുതിയായോ, പൂര്‍ണ്ണമായോ നീക്കം ചെയ്യണമെന്ന് (ഹെമിതൈറോയ്ഡക്ടമി/ടോട്ടല്‍ തൈറോയ്ഡക്ടമി) സര്‍ജന്‍ തീരുമാനിക്കുന്നത് ദേഹപരിശോധന, സ്കാനിംഗ്, (FNAC) എന്നിവയുടെ അടിസ്ഥാനത്തിലാണ്.</p>



<p>സാധാരണയായി തൈറോയ്ഡ് മുഴകള്‍ വന്നാല്‍ കഴുത്തില്‍ വലിയ മുറിവുണ്ടാക്കുന്ന തുറന്ന ശസ്ത്രക്രിയകള്‍ മാത്രമേ ചെയ്യാറുള്ളൂ. ഇത് വളരെ വലിയൊരു മുറിപ്പാട് കഴുത്തിന് കുറുകെ അവശേഷിപ്പിക്കും. ഇത് പ്രത്യേകിച്ചും സ്ത്രീകളില്‍ അസന്തുഷ്ടിയും, അഭംഗിയും ഉളവാക്കുന്ന ഒന്നാണ്.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading page-header">എന്‍ഡോസ്ക്കോപ്പിക് തൈറോയ്ഡ് സര്‍ജറി </h2>



<p>താക്കോല്‍ദ്വാര ശസ്ത്രക്രിയയിലൂടെ ചെയ്യുന്ന എന്‍ഡോസ്ക്കോപ്പിക് തൈറോയ്ഡ് സര്‍ജറി കക്ഷത്തിനടുത്തുകൂടി വളരെ ചെറിയ മുറിവിലൂടെ ചെയ്യുന്നതിനാല്‍ പാടുകള്‍ തീരെയില്ല. ഹൈഡെഫനിഷന്‍ ക്യാമറയിലൂടെ വ്യക്തവും വലുതുമായ കാഴ്ച ലഭിയ്ക്കുന്നത് ശസ്ത്രക്രിയ സുരക്ഷിതവും പൂര്‍ണ്ണവും ആക്കുന്നു. ദശകള്‍ക്കും പ്രധാന അവയവങ്ങള്‍ക്കും ക്ഷതമുണ്ടാക്കാത്ത ആധുനിക സംവിധാനങ്ങളായ ഹാര്‍മോണിക് സ്കാല്‍പല്‍ ഉപയോഗിച്ചാണ് ഈ ശസ്ത്രക്രിയ ചെയ്യുന്നത്. ഇത്തരം ശസ്ത്രക്രിയകള്‍ തുറന്ന് ചെയ്യുന്നതിനേക്കാള്‍ നല്ല ഫലപ്രാപ്തി നല്‍കുന്നുണ്ട്. കഴുത്തിലെ പ്രധാനപ്പെട്ട ഞരമ്പുകള്‍ സൂക്ഷ്മതയോടെ നിലനിര്‍ത്താനും ശബ്ദവ്യതിയാനം വരാതിരിക്കാനും ഇത് സഹായിക്കുന്നു. കാത്സ്യത്തിന്റെ അളവിനെ നിയന്ത്രിക്കുന്ന പാരാതൈറോയ്ഡ് ഗ്രന്ഥികളിലൂടെ രക്തയോട്ടം നഷ്ടപ്പെടാതെ സംരക്ഷിയ്ക്കാനും ക്യാമറയിലൂടെയുള്ള, വലിപ്പം കൂടിയ കാഴ്ച ഉപകരിയ്ക്കും. മുഴകള്‍ മാറ്റിയശേഷം ഒരു സഞ്ചിയിലിട്ട്&nbsp; പുറത്തേയ്ക്കെടുക്കുന്നു.</p>



<p>നാല് സെ.മീറ്റര്‍ താഴെയുള്ള മുഴകള്‍ മാത്രമേ ഇത്തരം ശസ്ത്രക്രിയയിലൂടെ മാറ്റാന്‍ സാധിക്കൂ എന്നത് തെറ്റിദ്ധാരണയാണ്. പത്ത് സെ.മീറ്റര്‍ വലിപ്പമുള്ള മുഴകള്‍പോലും വളരെ സുരക്ഷിതമായി എന്‍ഡോസ്ക്കോപ്പിക് മാര്‍ഗ്ഗത്തിലൂടെ മാറ്റാന്‍ സാധിക്കും. തൈറോയ്ഡ് പ്രാവീണ്യമുള്ള വിദഗ്ധനു മാത്രമേ ഇതു ചെയ്യാന്‍ സാധിക്കുകയുള്ളൂ. കാന്‍സര്‍ ഉള്‍പ്പെടെയുള്ള ഏതു തരത്തിലുമുള്ള മുഴകള്‍ക്കും ഈ പ്രക്രിയ അവലംബിക്കാവുന്നതാണ്. ഒരു ഭാഗത്ത് മാത്രം മുഴ നീക്കേണ്ടവരില്‍ അതുമാത്രം നീക്കം ചെയ്യുന്നതിനാല്‍ പിന്നീട് അടുത്തവശം നീക്കം ചെയ്യുന്നത് തുറന്നുള്ള ശസ്ത്രക്രിയയേക്കാള്‍ എളുപ്പവും സുരക്ഷിതത്വവുമാണെന്നത് എന്‍ഡോസ്ക്കോപ്പിക് ശസ്ത്രക്രിയയുടെ നേട്ടമാണ്. മുഴകളുമായി ബന്ധപ്പെട്ടു വരുന്ന ലിംഫ് ഗ്രന്ഥികള്‍ മാറ്റാനും ഈ ശസ്ത്രക്രിയ സഹായിക്കും. പാരതൈറോയ്ഡ് ഗ്രന്ഥികള്‍ക്കു വരുന്ന അഡിനോമാ മുഴകള്‍ക്കും എന്‍ഡോസ്ക്കോപിക് സര്‍ജറിയാണ് ഉത്തമം.</p>



<p>തൈറോയ്ഡ് പൂര്‍ണ്ണമായി മാറ്റപ്പെട്ടവര്‍ തൈറോക്സിന്‍ ഗുളിക തുടര്‍ന്നു കഴിയ്ക്കേണ്ടതാണ്. എത്രവര്‍ഷം കഴിച്ചാലും ഒരു പാര്‍ശ്വഫലങ്ങളും ഉണ്ടാക്കാത്തതും വളരെ സുരക്ഷിതവുമാണ് തൈറോക്സിന്‍.</p>



<p>തൈറോയ്ഡില്‍ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">കാന്‍സര്‍ </a>ബാധിച്ചാല്‍ ശസ്ത്രക്രിയാ ചികിത്സയാണ് ഉത്തമം. അതിനുശേഷം റേഡിയോ അയഡിന്‍ സ്കാനും അബ്ലേഷനും വേണ്ടിവന്നേക്കാം. മറ്റ് കാന്‍സറിനുള്ളതുപോലെ കീമോതെറാപ്പി, റേഡിയോതെറാപ്പി എന്നിങ്ങനെ ബുദ്ധിമുട്ടും പാര്‍ശ്വഫലങ്ങളും ഉള്ള ചികിത്സകള്‍ ആവശ്യം വരാറില്ല.</p>



<p>താക്കോല്‍ദ്വാര ശസ്ത്രക്രിയയില്‍ കഴുത്തില്‍ മുറിവില്ലാത്തതിനാല്‍ രോഗിക്ക് എല്ലാത്തരം ജോലികളിലും വേഗം തന്നെ വ്യപൃതരാകാവുന്നതാണ്. ശസ്ത്രക്രിയ നടന്നുവെന്ന് എല്ലാവരോടും സ്വമേധയാ വിളംബരം ചെയ്യുന്ന കലകള്‍ ഇല്ലാത്തത്, ഇക്കൂട്ടര്‍ക്ക് വളരെ ആത്മവിശ്വാസവും സന്തോഷവും നല്‍കുന്നു.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="text-justify">Endoscopic thyroidectomy is also called Minimally Invasive Video-Assisted Thyroidectomy. It is a new surgical technique which allows the surgeon to perform thyroid surgery through a small skin incision. In endoscopic thyroidectomy, very small incisions are made in the axilla. A video camera helps in providing magnified vision of the structures and comfortable dissection. This technique via the axilla helps even removing large thyroid nodules and even helps perform total thyroidectomy.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading page-header">What is Endoscopic Thyroidectomy?</h2>



<p class="text-justify">The benefit of this procedure is that this is a minimally invasive approach (ie., the surgery is performed through a keyhole incision). Other benefits include safety and precision. That is the video camera inserted through the keyhole incision provides a magnified view of the internal structures. Thus the surgeon can perform the surgery by viewing a magnified view of the internal structures on a computer monitor. This increases safety and the surgeon performs the surgery with precision. The greatest benefit is that the neck remains free of scar as the thyroidectomy is performed endoscopically via incisions made at the axilla. The smallest of scars produced are hidden beneath the inner clothes at the axilla. This is a great cosmetic advantage.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" width="250" height="144" src="https://www.drrpadmakumar.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/endoscopic-thyroidectomy-axilla.png" alt="Endoscopic Thyroidectomy through axilla" class="wp-image-805"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"> Endoscopic Thyroidectomy via Axilla </figcaption></figure>
</div>



<div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"></div>
</div>



<p>Endoscopic Thyroidectomy can be performed for all types of Thyroid Surgery.  The main types of thyroid surgery are:</p>



<p>Total thyroidectomy (removing all of the thyroid gland)<br>Lobectomy or hemithyroidectomy (removing half of the thyroid gland)<br>Near-total thyroidectomy (removing most of the thyroid gland but leaving a little tissue on one side)<br>Isthmusectomy (removal of the central part of the thyroid gland)&nbsp;is&nbsp;performed</p>



<p class="text-justify">Thyroid abnormalities are common among women. As per&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thyroid.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">American Thyroid Association&nbsp;</a>, approximately 90% of all thyroid nodules are benign. Ultrasound of the neck or if needed FNAC (fine-needle aspiration cytology) is used in patients diagnosed with single or multiple thyroid nodules. If malignancy is suspected as per the ultrasound report or the FNAC, then surgery is the advised solution regardless of the size of the swelling. Thyroidectomy is recommended for nodules larger than 4 cm even if the USG and FNAC suggest benign swelling. Depending on the patient history, physical examination as well as the USG and FNAC findings, the surgeon may decide to offer a hemithyroidectomy or total thyroidectomy in consultation with the patient. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading page-header">Endoscopic Thyroidectomy &#8211; How it is performed? </h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Using a keyhole (&nbsp;<a href="https://www.drrpadmakumar.com/blog/tag/laparoscopic-surgery/">laparoscopic surgery</a>&nbsp;techniques), a scope is inserted with instruments at the axilla to remove all or part of your thyroid gland.</li>



<li>The operation is carried out with special instruments using a camera to guide the surgeon. The camera allows the surgeron to visualize the internal structures with magnification, precision and clarity on a monitor.</li>



<li>After the thyroid gland is detached from the trachea, the specimen is placed in a specimen bag.</li>



<li>You will have a small drain in the wound which will be removed after a few days.</li>



<li>At the end, thyroid gland, part or whole, is removed through one of the incisions.</li>



<li>The incisions are then closed.</li>
</ul>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading page-header">Open Thyroidectomy</h2>



<p>Open Thyroidectomy is the conventional way of performing thyroidectomy.   When&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroidectomy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">thyroidectomy</a>&nbsp;is done through the open method, a transverse incision measuring 12–15 cm in length is made on the neck. A large cut is made across the neck or a full cut is required even to remove a small part of the thyroid, even for one side removal leaving behind an ugly scar in the neck with pain, discomfort and delayed recovery. Women find these scars uncomfortable and cosmetically unacceptable. Thyroid disorders and found common in women. Minimal access approaches to thyroid surgery result in a reduction in size or elimination of the scar of the neck. </p>

<p class="text-justify"><strong>Thyroid Surgery: </strong> The thyroid gland is situated in the neck and secretes thyroxine which is very essential for all organ function. Thyroid disorders are common in women and it is of two types: Functional – Hypo (reduced function) and Hyperthyroidism (excess of thyroid hormone). Hypothyroidism can be managed by thyroxine tab, generally 100 microgram taken with bed coffee. The hyper function generally can be treated with anti-thyroid drugs. If it is not getting controlled with drugs or if associated thyroid enlargement is there, one has to resort to thyroid gland removal (thyroidectomy).</p>



<p class="text-justify">Thyroid can enlarge during menarche (starting of menstrual cycle) and pregnancy which is called as physiological goiter, which will subside once the extra demand is over. Swelling (nodule) formation is a common problem. The nodule can be cancerous or noncancerous (benign). Thyroid tumours are common in women and they would like to have treatment options with a definite cosmetic appeal. Generally when someone is diagnosed with a single nodule or multiple nodules they need to be evaluated by ultrasound scan of neck and if needed fine needle aspiration cytology. The USG features or FNAC is suspicious of a malignancy then surgery is the solution, even at any size of the swelling. Even if the USG and FNAC suggest benign swelling the option of thyroidectomy needs to be sought if the nodule is more than 4 cm. Depending on the physical examination, USG and FNAC findings surgeon decides to offer a hemithyroidectomy (removal of full lobe on the side of lesion and isthmus) or total thyroidectomy.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Thyroid Surgery &#8211; Different Techniques</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Open Thyroid Surgery/Thyroidectomy or Conventional Thyroidectomy</h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignright"><img decoding="async" width="259" height="194" src="https://www.drrpadmakumar.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/thyroid-surgery-scar.jpg" alt="Open Thyroid Surgery Cut made at Neck" class="wp-image-799"/><figcaption> Scar on Open Thyroidectomy&nbsp;<br>or Open Thyroid Surgery </figcaption></figure></div>



<p class="text-justify">The surgical solution available in most of the places is open thyroidectomy, which involves a large transverse cut across the lower part of the neck. This definitely leads to an unsighty scar which is not acceptable, especially for women. (Picture 1) </p>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Lateral and Robotic Thyroidectomy </h3>



<p class="text-justify">The <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28693960" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="lateral thyroidectomy (opens in a new tab)">lateral thyroidectomy</a> by cutting on sides of neck for each side lobe removal – though better than full open surgery – is also not a desirable one.</p>



<p class="text-justify">Robotic surgery does not give any advantage on the cosmetic aspect of the thyroid surgery.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"> Endoscopic Thyroidectomy </h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignleft"><img decoding="async" width="359" height="244" src="https://www.drrpadmakumar.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/thyroid-surgery-endoscopically.jpg" alt="Endoscopic Instruments passed through the incisions at axilla" class="wp-image-800" srcset="https://www.drrpadmakumar.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/thyroid-surgery-endoscopically.jpg 359w, https://www.drrpadmakumar.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/thyroid-surgery-endoscopically-300x204.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 359px) 100vw, 359px" /><figcaption> Endoscopic Thyroidectomy&nbsp;<br>Incisions near axilla </figcaption></figure></div>



<p class="text-justify"><a href="https://www.drrpadmakumar.com/blog/endoscopic-thyroidectomy-scarless/">Endoscopic thyroidectomy</a>&nbsp;– the keyhole or minimally invasive technique is a very good alternative to other methods. It gives excellent cosmetic outcome especially when done by an axillary approach. It gives equal or even a better surgical outcome as far as the actual thyroid nodule management is considered. There are other less preferred endoscopic approaches like sternal and breast approach. </p>



<div class="wp-block-button is-style-squared"><a class="wp-block-button__link has-background has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color" href="https://www.drrpadmakumar.com/blog/endoscopic-thyroidectomy-videos/">Watch Videos Related to Endoscopic Thyroidectomy</a></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Procedure </h2>



<p class="text-justify">The procedure of&nbsp;endoscopic thyroidectomy&nbsp;by axillary approach involves the following steps. A 10-mm trocar placement in the axilla towards neck for the telescope; which initially helps in creating the plane and visualization of structures with magnification, precision and clarity.</p>



<p class="text-justify">Then two 5-mm trocars are introduced in to the dissected space (subplatysmal) which are used as working ports. We use a less heat generating energy source the harmonic scalpel instead of cautery for tissue dissection.</p>



<p class="text-justify">Once space is created in the neck, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sternocleidomastoid_muscle" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="sternomastoids  (opens in a new tab)">sternomastoids </a>and strap muscles gets exposed. We can open the investing layer in midline and reach the thyroid gland. The gland is mobilized by blunt dissection and vital structures identified. The recurrent laryngeal nerve (important for respiration) the superior laryngeal nerve (for voice) and parathyroids (for calcium metabolism) with their blood supply will be preserved. The blood vessels are divided and gland detached from trachea. A specimen bag is used to place the thyroid and removed by dilating 10 mm trocar. For a total thyoidectomy one will have to put additional trocars on the opposite side and do the same steps on that side as well.</p>



<p class="text-justify">The investing layer is sutured back, drain is placed and the trocar sites closed. Patient is asked to be in the hospital for 24 hours only and can resume all kinds of activities in a few days.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignright"><img decoding="async" width="359" height="244" src="https://www.drrpadmakumar.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/thyroid-surgery-no-scar.jpg" alt="Incisions near the axilla in Endoscopic Thyroidectomy" class="wp-image-801" srcset="https://www.drrpadmakumar.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/thyroid-surgery-no-scar.jpg 359w, https://www.drrpadmakumar.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/thyroid-surgery-no-scar-300x204.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 359px) 100vw, 359px" /><figcaption> Endoscopic Thyroidectomy / Thyroid Surgery&nbsp;<br>Smalls scars at Axilla </figcaption></figure></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Advantages of Endoscopic Thyroidectomy </h2>



<p class="text-justify">These patients will have less wound related problem compared to open surgery group. The cosmetic outcome is such excellent that the small wounds in axilla heals with minimal scarring and gets covered with small inner-wears.</p>



<p class="text-justify">The earlier belief was that the endoscopic, no neck scar option for thyroid swellings are applicable to lesions of less than 4 cm size. But we have observed that swellings of size of even 12 – 15 cm can be tackled very successfully through this method. The only pre-requisite will be a surgeon with good experience, in both laparoscopic surgeries and thyroid surgeries.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img decoding="async" width="779" height="403" src="https://www.drrpadmakumar.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/thyroid-surgery-specimen.jpg" alt="Thyroid removed via Endoscopic Thyroidectomy" class="wp-image-802" srcset="https://www.drrpadmakumar.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/thyroid-surgery-specimen.jpg 779w, https://www.drrpadmakumar.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/thyroid-surgery-specimen-300x155.jpg 300w, https://www.drrpadmakumar.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/thyroid-surgery-specimen-768x397.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 779px) 100vw, 779px" /><figcaption> Thyroid Specimen removed via Endoscopic Thyroidectomy or Endoscopic Thyroid Surgery </figcaption></figure></div>



<p class="text-justify">

The complications of this surgery are very similar to that of open surgery proving that it is a much desirable option. Any kind of pathologies like benign or cancerous nodules, thyoiditis can be safely tackled by endoscopic thyroidectomy. Completion of thyroidectomy is much more easier with this technique as one do not dissect the other side while performing the opposite side. Lymph node clearance when indicated can also be comfortably performed by this route.
