Ablation therapies are transforming the treatment of thyroid and parathyroid disease, offering a truly minimally invasive, focused approach that typically preserves thyroid function. Ablation Techniques for Thyroid and Parathyroid Disease provides comprehensive, in-depth information on safely and effectively treating thyroid and parathyroid diseases with these new technologies. Drs. Ralph P. Tufano, David Goldenberg, and Leonardo G. Rangel, all early adopters of these new techniques, bring their recent experience in teaching ablation therapies to this innovative reference-making it an ideal resource for any physician who seeks to learn more about these therapies and how to employ them in practice.

Topics in this publication include Thyroid Disease and Where the Field is Going; Surgical Anatomy of Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands; Ultrasonography and Thyroid Disease; FNA Cytopathology; Surgical Management of Thyroid Disease; Surgical Management of Cervical Lymph Nodes in Well Differentiated Thyroid Cancer; Management of Locally Invasive Disease; Post-operative Management of Well Differentiated Thyroid Cancer; Reoperation for Recurrent/Persistent Well Differentiated Thyroid Cancer; Molecular Biology and Targeted Therapies for Well Differentiated Thyroid Cancer; Imaging of Parathyroid Glands; Surgical Management of Parathyroid Disease; Considerations for 2-degree and 3-degree Hyperparathyroidism; and Management of Parathyroid Carcinoma; among others.

This text will serve as a guide for both the head and neck surgeon and the general surgeon in the technical and clinical aspects of transformative transoral neck surgery. It provides the reader with a comprehensive understanding of transoral approaches, including surgical indications, techniques, and outcomes. Such indications include thyroid disease, parathyroid disease, neck dissection, and other head and neck pathology. Instrumentation, setup, and the role of additional technologies such as nerve monitoring and robotics are reviewed in depth, followed by additional chapters on techniques, pearls, pitfalls, controversies, and challenging cases. The volume concludes with the current state of robotics in transoral surgery, and takes a look at future directions.Written and edited by experts in the field, Transoral Neck Surgery will be a valuable guide for the thousands of clinicians implementing this surgery.
