RESULTSDetails of the five patients with regard to gender, age, operating time, operating procedure, amount of bleeding, tumor size, tumor weight, pathology, and postoperative stay are described in Table 1. In this table, extirpation means resection of tumor with or without surrounding normal thyroid. Hemithyroidectomy means that superior and inferior thyroid arteries are ligated and the tumor is resected with the whole hemilobe of the thyroid gland. Tumor extirpation leaving surrounding normal thyroid tissue was safely performed on patients with benign nodules without confirming the need to identify the recurrent laryngeal nerve. With the use of HS, no special technique was required to secure hemostasis of the remaining thyroid tissue. With regard to the benign tumors, the sizes ranged from 2.0 to 4.5 cm in maximum diameter (mean 3.2 cm) and weight ranged from 2.9 to 27.5 g (mean 11.3 g). The amount of bleeding ranged from 8 to 200 mL (mean 65.4 mL). The final pathologic diagnosis was adenomatous nodule or follicular adenoma in patients 1, 2, 4, and 5. In patient 3, after the preoperative FNA diagnosis of a suspicious lesion, a hemithyroidectomy was performed (Fig. 3) with a prophylactic lymph node dis-
