Несмотря на интенсивное развитие технологий безопасной хирургии щитовидной железы, качественного снижения уровня специфических осложнений при операциях на данном органе достичь до сих пор не удается. Одна из причин данной проблемы, на наш взгляд, кроется в методе самой конвенциональной хирургической операции. В 2022 г. группой авторов во главе с И.В. Слепцовым была запатентована новая методика медиальной тиреоидэктомии (TFT), которая продемонстрировала значительное снижение уровня специфических осложнений.</p></sec><sec><title>ЦЕЛЬ</title><p>ЦЕЛЬ. Проведение пилотного исследования для оценки воспроизводимости, эффективности и безопасности новой предложенной методики медиальной тиреоидэктомии в работе отделения эндокринной хирургии ГБОУ ВО «ПСПбГМУ им. акад. И.П. Павлова».</p></sec><sec><title>МАТЕРИАЛЫ И МЕТОДЫ</title><p>МАТЕРИАЛЫ И МЕТОДЫ. Исследование проведено в отделении эндокринной хирургии ГБОУ ВО «ПСПбГМУ им. акад. И.П. Павлова» в период с января по апрель 2022 г. Пациентам с хирургическими заболеваниями щитовидной железы выполнялось новое предложенное вмешательство TFT. Метод полностью соответствует описанию авторов в патенте на изобретение РФ № 2772015, и хирурги, выполняющие новый хирургический прием, прошли перед инициацией исследования обучение у авторов методики. Исследование проспективное нерандомизированное неконтролируемое. Первичной контрольной точкой считали постоянное нарушение функции гортани. Вторичные контрольные точки отмечены в виде транзиторных парезов, гипокальциемии и временного и постоянного гипопаратиреоза.</p></sec><sec><title>РЕЗУЛЬТАТЫ</title><p>РЕЗУЛЬТАТЫ. В исследование вошли 20 человек. Показаниями к операции были эндокринологические и онкологические. Количество выполненных гемитиреоидэктомий (ГТЭ) 15, тиреоидэктомий (ТЭ) — 5 (одна с центральной лимфодиссекцией), объем щитовидной железы варьировал от 4 см3 до 280 см3 . Ни у одного пациента не достигнута первичная контрольная точка, т.е. постоянного нарушения функции гортани в нашем исследовании не было. Лишь у одного пациента в послеоперационном периоде выявлено нарушение подвижности голосовой складки, однако, в срок контрольного наблюдения на 30е сутки послеоперационного периода при прямой ларингоскопии подвижность голосовой складки восстановлена в полном объеме. Гипопаратиреоза и гипокальциемии не выявлено ни в одном случае, однако, следует отметить незначительно количество ТЭ.</p></sec><sec><title>ЗАКЛЮЧЕНИЕ</title><p>ЗАКЛЮЧЕНИЕ. Таким образом, новый предложенный метод TFT является полностью воспроизводимым в работе специализированного отделения эндокринной хирургии. Метод продемонстрировал высокие показатели эффективности и безопасности в реальной клинической практике. Однако требуется проведение дальнейших исследований с более высокой доказательной базой. </p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>BACKGROUND</title><p>BACKGROUND: Despite the intensive development of safe thyroid surgery technologies, it has not yet been possible to achieve a significant reduction in the level of specific complications. One of the possible reasons is the method of the conventional surgical operation especially possible traction during thyroid tissue rotation on the way to n.reccurence. In 2022, group of authors led by I.V. Sleptsov proposed a new technique for Tention-Free Thyroidectomy (TFT), which demonstrated a significant reduction in the level of specific complications.</p></sec><sec><title>AIM</title><p>AIM: To conduct a pilot study to assess the reproducibility, efficacy and safety of TFT in the work of the endocrine surgery department of Pavlov First St. Petersburg State Medical University.</p></sec><sec><title>MATERIALS AND METHODS</title><p>MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was conducted at the Department of Endocrine Surgery in the period from January to April 2022. Patients with surgical thyroid disease underwent a new proposed TFT intervention. The method is fully consistent with the author’s description in patent No. 2772015, and the surgeons performing the new surgical technique underwent an internship with the authors of TFT before the initiation of the study. The study is prospective, non-randomized, uncontrolled. Persistent laryngeal dysfunction and persistent hypoparathyroidism were considered the primary endpoint. Secondary endpoints were transient vocal cord paresis, hypocalcemia and hypoparathyroidism.</p></sec><sec><title>RESULTS</title><p>RESULTS: The study included 20 people. The indications for surgery were endocrinological and oncological. The number of performed hemithyroidectomies were 15, thyroidectomy (TE) — 5 (one with central lymph node dissection), the volume of the thyroid gland varied from 4 cm3 to 280 cm3 . None of the patients reached the primary endpoint. There were no permanent dysfunction of the larynx in our study. Only in one patient in the postoperative period, a violation of the mobility of the vocal fold was revealed, however, during follow up on the 30th day of the postoperative period the mobility of the vocal fold was restored (confirmed by direct laryngoscopy). Hypoparathyroidism and hypocalcemia were not detected. However, it is necessary to mention the number of TE was too small.</p></sec><sec><title>CONCLUSION</title><p>CONCLUSION: Thus, the new proposed TFT method is fully reproducible in the work of a specialized department of endocrine surgery. The method has demonstrated high rates of efficiency and safety in real clinical practice. However, further studies with a higher evidence base are required.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>медиальная тиреоидэктомия</kwd><kwd>осложнения после тиреоидэктомии</kwd><kwd>хирургия щитовидной железы</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>tention-free thyroidectomy</kwd><kwd>complications after thyroidectomy</kwd><kwd>thyroid surgery</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Исследование выполнено при финансовом обеспечении, инструментальном обеспечении ГБОУ ВО «ПСПбГМУ им. акад.
