Early prediction of postthyroidectomy hypocalcemia by one single iPTH measurement.
Celestino Pio Lombardi,Marco Raffaelli,Pietro Princi,Stefano Angelo Santini,Mauro Boscherini,Carmela De Crea,Emanuela Traini,Annamaria D'Amore,Cinzia Carrozza,Cecilia Zuppi,Rocco Domenico Alfonso Bellantone +10 more
TL;DR: One single iPTH measurement reliably can predict, early after thyroidectomy, which patients are prone to clinically relevant postoperative hypocalcemia and necessitate supplementation treatment andWhich patients are eligible for a safe early discharge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Total thyroidectomy for management of benign thyroid disease: review of 526 cases.
Rocco Domenico Alfonso Bellantone,Celestino Pio Lombardi,Maurizio Bossola,Mauro Boscherini,Carmela De Crea,Pier Francesco Alesina,Emanuela Traini,Pietro Princi,Marco Raffaelli +8 more
TL;DR: The results of this series show that TT can be performed safely in patients, with a low incidence of lifetime disabilities, and should therefore be considered a valuable option for treating benign thyroid diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is routine supplementation therapy (calcium and vitamin D) useful after total thyroidectomy
Rocco Domenico Alfonso Bellantone,Celestino Pio Lombardi,Marco Raffaelli,Mauro Boscherini,Pier Francesco Alesina,Carmela De Crea,Emanuela Traini,Pietro Princi +7 more
TL;DR: Routine supplementation therapy with OC or VD effectively prevents symptomatic hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy and may allow for a safe early discharge and further studies are necessary to determine the best treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Video-assisted vs conventional thyroid lobectomy: a randomized trial
Rocco Domenico Alfonso Bellantone,Celestino Pio Lombardi,Maurizio Bossola,Mauro Boscherini,Carmela De Crea,Pier Francesco Alesina,Emanuela Traini +6 more
TL;DR: Video-assisted thyroid lobectomy is a valid alternative to conventional surgery in patients with single, small nodular thyroid lesions and improves the cosmetic outcome of the cutaneous scar and reduces postoperative pain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Papillary Thyroid Microcarcinoma: Extrathyroidal Extension, Lymph Node Metastases, and Risk Factors for Recurrence in a High Prevalence of Goiter Area
Celestino Pio Lombardi,Rocco Domenico Alfonso Bellantone,Carmela De Crea,NC Paladino,Guido Fadda,Massimo Salvatori,Marco Raffaelli +6 more
TL;DR: Incidental diagnosis of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma is frequent in a high prevalence of goiter area and shows a variable degree of aggressiveness, which should be based on patient- and tumor-related prognostic factors, as for larger tumors.
