Abstract
To improve the lymph node dissection as well as protect parathyroid gland and recurrent laryngeal nerve, the carbon nanoparticles and intraoperative neuromonitoring were applied in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma surgery. Carbon nanoparticles and intraoperative neuromonitoring were used in the experimental group, whereas the control group were not. Routine pathological examination was performed. The lymph nodes dissected was significantly higher in the experimental group, but the metastatic lymph nodes were not. The number of mistakenly dissected parathyroid gland and postoperative hypoparathyroidism were 3 and 13 in the experimental group respectively, significantly less than 10 and 25 in the control group. The incidences of overall, transient and persistent recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy in the experimental group were 5.5%, 5.5% and 0% respectively, whereas in the control group were 8.6%, 6.9% and 1.7%. Carbon nanoparticles can improve lymph node dissection in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma surgery, and the combination of carbon nanoparticles with intraoperative neuromonitoring can reduce surgical complications and improve patient quality of life.
