Utility of intra‐operative ultrasound in revision neck dissection for loco‐regional thyroid cancer recurrence.

This article explores the benefits of using intra-operative ultrasound during revision neck dissections for thyroid cancer recurrence. The ultrasound technology allows for precise identification of metastases, leading to targeted surgery and smaller incisions. It can detect even small nodes and locate metastases in challenging areas. The study conducted in a thyroid surgery unit demonstrates that intra-operative ultrasound improves diagnostic accuracy, surgical precision, and reduces complications. The findings suggest that this technique can effectively identify and remove thyroid cancer lymph node metastases, including small ones, with real-time confirmation. [Extracted from the article]
