Every year in France, 45,000 people have a thyroidectomy (total or partial removal of the thyroid gland). A common but delicate operation due to the proximity of the recurrent laryngeal nerves to the parathyroid glands. A randomized clinical trial conducted between...
Hypoparathyroidism is characterised by insufficient production of the parathyroid hormone (PTH), a hormone secreted by the parathyroid glands which plays an essential role in the regulation of serum calcium level. Low levels of PTH can cause hypocalcaemia (abnormal...
Thyroid nodules are benign in almost 95% of cases. Thyroid nodules are characterised by a small and generally asymptomatic swelling at the base of the neck (on the thyroid gland). Thyroid nodules are the result of various lesions such as a cyst, adenoma (benign...
Association of Autofluorescence-Based Detection of the Parathyroid Glands During Total Thyroidectomy With Postoperative Hypocalcemia Risk Results of the PARAFLUO Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial.Fares Benmiloud, MD; Gaelle Godiris-Petit, MD; Régis Gras, MD; and...
Each year in France, around 45,000 people undergo a thyroidectomy. The removal of the thyroid gland, indicated in the event of a thyroid immune condition (Grave’s disease), thyroid cancer, toxic nodules, goitres, consists in removing all or part of the thyroid gland....
In France, about 6 million people suffer from a thyroid disorder. Hyperthyroidism (which is less common than hypothyroidism) occurs when there is an overproduction of thyroid hormones, which pushes the body into overdrive. Although symptoms vary from person to person,...
Women who wish to rapidly retake possession of their bodies after a mastectomy face the issue of whether or not to have a breast reconstruction. Out of the 20,000 mastectomies performed each year in France, 25% of patients choose to have a breast reconstruction (13%...

Each year, 54,000 new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in France. It is the most common type of cancer in women and also the most diagnosed cancer in the world. Nearly one in nine women will be affected by breast cancer in her lifetime. And the risk increases...
