Is it possible to rule out level II and level VB dissection in patients with metastatic papillary thyroid cancer? by Tugba Matlim Ozel, Sezer Akbulut, Aykut Celik, Gorkem Yildiz, Hamit Yucel Barut, Fatih Mert Dogukan, Serkan Sari

“…BackgroundThe completeness of surgical resection is a key factor influencing outcomes in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and regional lymph node metastases. However, the optimal extent of therapeutic lateral neck dissection remains a matter of debate This study aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of preoperative ultrasonography (US) in detecting lateral lymph node metastasis (LLNM) in patients with PTC and to identify clinical and pathological factors predictive of metastases at levels II and V.MethodsThis retrospective study included consecutive patients with PTC who underwent comprehensive lateral neck dissection at a single tertiary center between June 2020 and July 2024.ResultsIn 63 patients, a total of 78 comprehensive lateral neck dissections were performed. …”
