Objective  To explore the reoperative techniques of differentiated thyroid carcinoma.
Methods  Clinical data of 56 patients who treated in The First Affiliated Hospital of General Hospital of PLA and General Hospital of PLA from Feb. 2011 to Feb. 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.
Results  All performed surgeries were successful. Surgeries took 90-150 minutes with an average of 120 minutes. Bleeding during surgeries was 70-200 mL with an average of 120 mL. Postoperative drainage was 90-210 mL with an average of 100 mL. The pathological diagnosis of the second surgery in 44 cases were as the same as the first, but there were no malignant tumor tissues of dissected glands in 12 cases.
All patients had no postoperative bleeding and bucking, but 8 patients experienced hand and foot numbness, and 5 patients
experienced transient hoarseness. Fifty patients were followed-up for 6-30 months (average 10.8 months) from the reoper-
taion and 18-66 months (average 45.2 months) from the first operation, and rate of postoperative followed-up was 89.3%
(50/56). During the followed-up, 1 patient with papillary thyroid carcinoma and 1 patient with follicular thyroid carcinoma died in 44 months and 38 months respectively, 3 patients suffered lymph node metastasis at non-Ⅵ region of
affected side, no one suffered recurrence.
Conclusions  For differentiated thyroid carcinoma patients who are undergoing
the second surgery, thorough whole body condition analysis should be performed and appropriate type of surgery should be chosen. By using recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring, carbon nanoparticles for lymph node clearance, and protecting parathyroid gland to lower the possibility of postoperative complication, to improve survival rate and life quality.
