- 2. Content • Anatomy • Function • Clinical features • Investigations • Treatment options • Medicine • Surgery • Radioiodine • Q&A
- 3. Anatomy • Butterfly shaped • 30 - 50% of population have pyramidal lobe • Goitre = enlarged thyroid gland
- 4. Function • Cardiac • Increase heart rate • Increase cardiac output • Respiratory • Increase respiration rate • Biochemical • Increase basal metabolic rate • Increase protein and carbohydrate metabolism • Nervous system • Potentiates brain development • Increase sympathetic activity • Reproductive • Increase endometrial thickness
- 5. Classification of thyroid disorders • Anatomical • Solitary nodule • Dominant nodule of MNG • Multinodular goitre (MNG) • Diffuse goitre • Functional • Hyperthyroidism (↑) • Hypothyroidism (↓)
- 6. History • Compressive symptoms • Malignancy component • Risk factors • Red flags • Cancer spread symptoms • Thyroid status • Hyper or hypothyroidism symptoms • Past thyroid or neck surgery
- 11. Graves eye signs NO SPECS Class 0 None Class 1 Only signs (lid retraction ± lag) Class 2 Soft tissue (conjunctival & lids edema, injection) Class 3 Proptosis Class 4 Extraocular muscles involvement Class 5 Corneal involvement Class 6 Sight loss (usually CNII)

- 14. Thyroidectomy - removal of thyroid • By extent Hemithyroidectomy
- 15. • Open • Via collarneck incision • Endoscopic •Facelift incision approach •Breast-axillary approach •Transoral
- 31. Breast approach
- 43. Possible complications General • Bleeding • Infection • Hoarseness of voice • Surrounding organ injury Specific • Chin numbness • Lip asymmetry
- 48. Advantages • No visible scar • Minimal skin area dissected, less bleeding, less infection, less thickening Disadvantages • New technique • Not for huge goitres • Potential contamination by oral cavity bacteria • Numbness at chin
- 49. Patients who are not suitable • Previous radiotherapy to neck • Previous neck surgery • Goitre extends into chest • Goitre stuck to other organs • Needs extensive lymph node dissection • Nodule > 6cm
- 50. ?
- 51. Conclusion • Goitres are common • Beware of red flag symptoms that suggest malignancy • Surgery had always been a main treatment option for goitres • Transoral thyroidectomy avoids a visible neck scar • Transoral thyroidectomy is the next frontier in thyroid surgery
