Thyroid and Breast Surgery Department of Liaocheng City Second People's Hospital was established in 1998, and under the care of leaders at all levels, it has been continuously developing and expanding, and now it has been formed into a comprehensively developing department of medical education and research with a certain scale and specialised medical characteristics. There are 25 beds, 19 medical and nursing staff, including 1 chief physician and professor, 2 deputy chief physicians and associate professors, 2 attending physicians, 1 resident (3 master's degree students), of which 13 nursing staff (10 bachelor's degree).
The department has domestic first-class advanced equipment, high-frequency ultrasound, McMurray, large cardiac monitors and anti-embolism pumps, infusion pumps and so on. It has a good environment for outpatient consultation and independent speciality wards.
    At present, we can successfully carry out comprehensive treatment of breast cancer (surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, endocrine inhibition and molecular targeted drug therapy). Specific types of surgery: I. Modified radical mastectomy, i.e., total mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection, which is a commonly used surgery in domestic and foreign hospitals due to the preservation of large and small pectoral muscles, the therapeutic efficacy is comparable to that of the traditional radical surgery, and the quality of life after the operation is obviously improved. Breast-conserving surgery is a kind of surgery that only removes the tumour but preserves most of the breasts, and its 5-year survival rate reaches more than 80%, which is a popular surgery in the world. The indications of breast-conserving surgery are early breast cancer, i.e., the diameter of the tumour is less than 1~3cm, there is no metastasis in the axillary lymph nodes, and the margins of the tumour are negative. Postoperative radiotherapy is required. The curative effect is very satisfactory. III. Modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer with nipple or skin preservation, i.e., the operation style of preserving large and small pectoral muscles and nipple. As the nipple is preserved, the dignity of women is preserved, while the skin is preserved, the complications such as ischemia, infection and subcutaneous effusion caused by excessive skin tension after surgery can be significantly reduced. IV. Sentinel lymph node biopsy, mastectomy of breast cancer with preservation of the axilla if no metastasis is seen in the sentinel lymph nodes during the operation.
    Comprehensive treatment of thyroid-related diseases (hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, thyroid tumour) Currently, lobectomy of thyroid gland, major thyroidectomy, total thyroidectomy and modified radical surgery for thyroid cancer have been carried out. Lumpectomy of thyroid tumour and lumpectomy of thyroid tumour have been successfully carried out in our hospital, and more than 30 cases have been completed independently. The advantages of this surgery are that while removing the tumour, the neck incision can be reduced as much as possible, and the psychological impact of neck scar on the patients can be alleviated. Lumpectomy thyroid surgery can achieve scarless neck.
    The Department of Thyroid and Breast Surgery has obtained 5 scientific and technological progress awards and medical achievement awards in Liaocheng City, and more than 20 invention patents. It has published more than 50 papers. The department is the speciality department of Liaocheng Second People's Hospital and the advanced department of the hospital in 2011 and 2012.
