Li T, Ma Z, Lu C, et al. - Researchers aimed to determine the application of the carbon nanoparticles and intraoperative neuromonitoring in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma surgery for improving the lymph node dissection as well as protecting parathyroid gland and recurrent laryngeal nerve. In the experimental group, carbon nanoparticles and intraoperative neuromonitoring were used, whereas in the control group, these were not used. Outcomes suggest that in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma surgery, lymph node dissection can be improved with using carbon nanoparticles, and the combination of carbon nanoparticles with intraoperative neuromonitoring can result in reduction in surgical complications and improvement in patient quality of life.
