5. Clinical implications of left ovarian vein incomplete duplicity with embryonic intersubcardinal anastomosis-derived branches

Abstract

During the dissection of a female human cadaver a case of a duplex ovarian vein was observed. It was unique in its upper course where it anastomosed with an inferior polar renal vein, which in turn was linked to an upper polar renal vein by means of a joining branch. It is hypothesised that this represents a persistent link between the left subcardinal vein and the left sacrocardinal vein, together with some branches of a venous net, which represent the embryological intersubcardinal anastomosis. The gonadal vein arises from the distal (or postrenal) left subcardinal vein portion; the left renal vein develops from the intersubcardinal anastomosis. The venous net derived from the intersubcardinal anastomosis may represent a bypass system in cases of left renal vein occlusion. Left gonadal vein duplicity may also play an important role in the anatomical basis of idiopathic left ovarian vein syndrome or left varicocele, and can lead to mistakes being made during venous sclerotherapy.

Abstract

Aims of the study The aim of this retrospective study was to appraise the impact of central neck dissection (CND) when treating papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and identifying predictors of tumour recurrence by analysing the results and complications related to this surgical procedure. Materials and methods The study examined the histories of 347 patients with PTC, divided into two groups: group A including 284 patients who underwent total thyroidectomy (TT) only; group B including 63 patients who underwent TT and CND and possible lateral neck dissection (LND). Results The patients in the B group were younger than those in the A group (an average of 44.5 vs. 48.6; p = 0.03) and their tumours were larger (1.91 cm vs 1.27 cm, p = 0.001). Multifocality, extra-capsular extensions of the neoplastic mass and high cell histological variant were more prevalent in the B group. The incidence of permanent hyperparathyroidism was higher in group B than in group A (25.4% vs 9.5%, p = 0.0006). Recurrence of disease and the numbers requiring reoperation were also higher in group B: (24.1% in group B vs 6.6 in group A, p < 0.0001). Patients classified as clinically N0 at their first operation and who were most probably clinically N1, totalled 6.6%. Conclusions Our data show that only extra-capsular extension may be considered a predictor of recurrence. The findings of our study support the idea of carrying out “therapeutic” CND only in cases of preoperative or macroscopic intraoperative clinical evidence of lymph-node involvement.
