摘要
Zuckerkandl结节是甲状腺腺体自身突起而形成的结节,近年来逐渐引起解剖学者与外科医师的重视.临床上行甲状腺手术时为了避免伤及喉返神经及其分支与上甲状旁腺,外科医师常需要借助于特定解剖学标志,如甲状软骨下角、甲状腺下动脉、甲状腺下极、气管食管沟和甲状腺悬韧带等,这些特定解剖学标志有以下共同的特点：（1）标志本身位置较固定;（2）易于观察或触及,方便实用.Zuckerkandl结节作为一个新提出的解剖学标志符合以上特点,且在人群中普遍存在,可作为甲状腺手术中识别喉返神经及其分支与上甲状旁腺的重要标志.本文就Zuckerkandl结节在甲状腺外科手术中的作用作一综述.
Zuckerkandl tubercle is the extension of thyriod gland. For the past few years, more and more surgeons and anatomists have become interested in it. Clinically, surgeons usually rely on specified anatomical landmarks to avoid injuries to the recurrent laryngeal nerve, including the laryngeal branches and the superior parathyroid in thyroid surgery, such as the bottom corner of the thyroid cartilage, the inferior thyroid artery, lower pole of thyroid, tracheoesophageal groove, suspensory ligament of thyroid gland and so on. As the specified landmarks, they have several common characteristics：on the one hand, their location should be constant; on the other hand, they should be easy to observe and touch, meanwhile convenient and practical.As a new anatomical landmark, Zuckerkandl tubercle is in accordance with the above characteristics and prevalent in the population. Therefore, Zuckerkandl tubercle could become an important landmark to identify the the recurrent laryngeal nerve, including the laryngeal branches and the superior parathyroid in thyroid surgery. This essay aims to briefly analyze the role of Zuckerkandl tubercle in thyroid surgery.
