Article Abstract
To investigate the value of retrograde thyroidectomy from top to bottom in the operation of retrosternal thyroid surgery. Retrospective analysis was performed on the cases of retrosternal goiter excised by our surgeons from January 2017 to June 2022,the technical points, feasibility and advantages of the operation were summarized. A total of 15 cases of retrosternal goiter treated by retrograde thyroidectomy were collected, including 5 cases of type Ⅰ retrosternal goiter and 10 cases of type Ⅱ retrosternal goiter.The postoperative pathology was benign. The surgical time is 40-60 minutes for unilateral retrosternal goiter and 70-90 minutes for bilateral goiter. All patients were discharged normally within 7 days after operation, and no operative complications were observed such as bleeding, hoarseness or hypoparathyroidism. This surgical excision method of thyroid is suitable for the type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ retrosternal goiter surgery, which can avoid the difficulties in exposing and separating the the inferior thyroid behind the sternum in conventional surgical method, speed up the operation and reduced the difficulty of operation, and has certain promotion value in clinic.

Poorly differentiated thyroid malignancy, a rare histological type of aggressive thyroid malignancy with associated difficulties and gaps in its histological and molecular characterization, might lead to challenging clinical presentations that require a prompt multimodal approach. This case study involved a 56-year-old, non-smoking male with a rapidly developing goiter (within 2-3 months) in association with mild, non-specific neck compressive symptoms. His medical history was irrelevant.

Introduction: This study aimed to identify the preoperative risk factors for patients requiring sternotomy to treat substernal goiters (SGs), with the goal of enhancing preoperative planning and obtaining informed patient consent.
Methods: We accessed PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library for relevant studies through June 2024. We included all studies involving patients with SG who underwent sternotomy.
