Journal ArticleDOI

Ultrasound elastography in the evaluation of thyroid pathology. Current status.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
