Article Abstract
Objective: Superior thyroid artery (SThA) is a common recipient artery in free tissue transfer even after total pharyngolaryngoesophagectomy (TPLE) with hemithyroidectomy. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the use of SThA as a recipient vessel affect thyroid function in patients undergoing TPLE with hemithyroidectomy.
Methods: From 2011 to 2020, 91 patients who underwent free jejunum transfer after TPLE with hemithyroidectomy were divided into two groups. In Group1 (n = 47), the contralateral SThA was used for the anastomosis. In Group2 (n = 44), other vessels were used. Retrospective chart review was performed comparing postoperative thyroid function between two groups.
Results: In group1, 17 patients presented hypothyroidism, 21 presented latent hypothyroidism and 9 presented no thyroid dysfunction comparing 15, 19, and 10 respectively in group 2. There were no significant differences between the two groups.
Conclusion: Even after hemithyroidectomy, with inferior thyroid arteries are preserved, the SThA can be used as a recipient vessel.
Level Of Evidence: 3 Laryngoscope, 133:557-561, 2023.

Introduction: Autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of the thyroid gland and elevated specific antibodies. Its incidence rises annually, yet no standardized animal model fully mimics human AIT. Given unclear pathogenesis and lack of targeted immunotherapies, researchers invest significant time in developing suitable models.

Objective: Poorly differentiated thyroid cancer (PDTC) is a rare, heterogeneous carcinoma from follicular cells, characterized by poor differentiation, aggressive spread, and poor prognosis. Currently, there is no specific staging system for PDTC. This study aimed to develop a new TNM staging system tailored to PDTC for improved disease management.

Objective: This study aims to construct a multimodal radiomics model based on contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) radiomic features, combined with conventional ultrasonography (US) images and clinical data, to evaluate its diagnostic efficacy in differentiating benign and malignant thyroid nodules (TNs) classified as C-TIRADS 4, and to assess the clinical application value of the model.
Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 135 patients with C-TIRADS 4 thyroid nodules who underwent concurrent US and CEUS before FNA/surgery. From each case, one US image and three CEUS key frames (2s post-perfusion, peak enhancement, 2s post-peak) were selected.

Horner syndrome (HS), a rare complication of endoscopic thyroid surgery (ETS), manifests as ptosis, miosis, and anhidrosis resulting from oculosympathetic pathway disruption. This study explores HS etiology through two case reports and literature analysis. Case 1 involved a 43-year-old female who underwent unilateral thyroidectomy via a bilateral areolar approach for a thyroid oncocytic adenoma.
