Abstract

Objectives: Overview of indications for lobectomy and factors related to indications for lobectomy in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma. Methods:  Systematic review. We searched the database on PubMed, Medline, the electronic library of Hanoi Medical University to identify original articles related to thyroidectomy in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma. Results: 11 studies were included in this review. In order to indicate thyroid lobectomy for patients with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma, it is necessary to select patients with appropriate factors.  Conclusion: Indications for lobectomy for papillary thyroid microcarcinoma with the following satisfying conditions: (1) papillary thyroid cancer and the largest diameter of the nodule <= 1cm and (2) monofocal, (3) No extrathyroid extension; (4) no cervical lymph node metastasis confirmed on preoperative ultrasound and detected intraoperatively; (5) no distant metastases; (6) no history of neck irradiation; (7) no family history of thyroid cancer.
