CLINICAL ONCOLOGY PORTAL

Surgical Clearance Protocol

This protocol details the clinical parameters, resection boundaries, and anatomical checkpoints managed during the procedure. The priority is achieving R0 (microscopically negative) margins while preserving surrounding neural and vascular structures.

Procedural Stages

Recurrent laryngeal nerve mapping using intraoperative neuro-monitoring (IONM).
Extracapsular dissection of thyroid lobes preserving parathyroid blood supply.
Central compartment neck dissection (Level VI) for high-risk tumor parameters.
Post-operative serum calcium monitoring and hormone replacement titration.
