Wire-guided localization improves outcomes in non-palpable recurrent thyroid carcinoma

Wire-guided localization (HWG) surgery for non-palpable recurrent thyroid carcinoma (TC) has been found to have improved outcomes compared to traditional procedures. A retrospective cohort study analyzed the results of HWG resection and found that it reduced surgical morbidity and improved re-recurrence-free survival (RRFS) and re-recurrent/progressive disease (RRD). The HWG cohort had a lower rate of complications (17.3%) compared to the control group (28%). These findings highlight the benefits of using wire-guided localization in the surgical resection of non-palpable recurrent thyroid carcinoma.
