Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrasound elastography in the evaluation of thyroid pathology. Current status.
Vito Cantisani,Pietro Lodise,Hektor Grazhdani,Ester Mancuso,Elena Maggini,Giorgio Di Rocco,Ferdinando D'Ambrosio,Fabrizio Calliada,Adriano Redler,Paolo Ricci,Carlo Catalano +10 more
TL;DR: The aim of the present paper is to provide an update of the literature on different available techniques and the results reported both for thyroid nodules differentiation and for diffuse thyroid disease evaluation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Meta-analysis of thyroidectomy with ultrasonic dissector versus conventional clamp and tie
Roberto Cirocchi,Fabio D'Ajello,Stefano Trastulli,Alberto Santoro,Giorgio Di Rocco,Vendettuoli D,Fabio Rondelli,Domenico Giannotti,Alessandro Sanguinetti,Liliana Minelli,Adriano Redler,Antonio Basoli,Nicola Avenia +12 more
TL;DR: A systematic review to evaluate the role of Ultrasonic dissector (UAS) versus conventional clamp and tie in thyroidectomy shown a relevant advantage only in terms of cost-effectiveness in patients treated with UAS; it is subsequent to statistically significant reduction of operation duration, intraoperative blood loss and of overall drainage volume during the first 24 hours.
Journal ArticleDOI
Q-elastosonography of solid thyroid nodules: assessment of diagnostic efficacy and interobserver variability in a large patient cohort.
Vito Cantisani,Hektor Grazhdani,Paolo Ricci,Koenraad J. Mortele,Mattia Di Segni,Vito D'Andrea,Adriano Redler,Giorgio Di Rocco,Laura Giacomelli,Elena Maggini,Carlo Chiesa,Sukru Mehmet Erturk,Salvatore Sorrenti,Carlo Catalano,Ferdinando D'Ambrosio +14 more
TL;DR: Q-elastography showed excellent diagnostic performance for the prediction of thyroid malignancy and is a valid and reproducible diagnostic method as well as a promising tool for identifying suspicious solid thyroid nodules needing cytological assessment and surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Play to Become a Surgeon: Impact of Nintendo WII Training on Laparoscopic Skills
Domenico Giannotti,Gregorio Patrizi,Giorgio Di Rocco,Annarita Vestri,Camilla Proietti Semproni,Leslie Fiengo,Stefano Pontone,G Palazzini,Adriano Redler +8 more
TL;DR: The Nintendo® Wii™ might be helpful, inexpensive and entertaining part of the training of young laparoscopists, in addition to a standard surgical education based on simulators and the operating room.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strain ratio ultrasound elastography increases the accuracy of colour-Doppler ultrasound in the evaluation of Thy-3 nodules. A bi-centre university experience.
Vito Cantisani,Piero Maceroni,Vito D'Andrea,Gregorio Patrizi,Mattia Di Segni,Corrado De Vito,Hektor Grazhdani,Andrea M. Isidori,Elisa Giannetta,Adriano Redler,Fabrizio Maria Frattaroli,Laura Giacomelli,Giorgio Di Rocco,Carlo Catalano,Ferdinando D'Ambrosio +14 more
TL;DR: USE with strain ratio should be considered a useful additional tool to colour-Doppler US, since it improves characterisation of thyroid nodules with indeterminate cytology, and may help to better select patients with Thy 3 nodules candidate for surgery.
