Biography

Dr. Ferenc Oberna is a distinguished surgeon specializing in head and neck oncology at the National Institute of Oncology (NIO) in Budapest, Hungary. The NIO, established in 1936, serves as Hungary's premier institution for cancer care, research, and education, coordinating the national oncology network and holding accreditation as a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the Organization of European Cancer Institutes. Dr. Oberna's clinical expertise encompasses the surgical management of head and neck malignancies, with a particular focus on innovative techniques and multidisciplinary approaches. His commitment to advancing oncological surgery is evident through his contributions to medical literature. In 2004, Dr. Oberna co-authored a pivotal study titled "Interstitial High-Dose-Rate Brachytherapy in the Treatment of Base of Tongue Carcinoma," published in Strahlentherapie und Onkologie. This research evaluated the efficacy of interstitial high-dose-rate brachytherapy as a treatment modality for base of tongue carcinoma, providing valuable insights into its therapeutic potential. In 2020, he contributed to the article "Thyroid Surgery in Local Anaesthesia: Renewal of an Old Method," featured in the Journal of Thyroid Disorders & Therapy. This work revisited the practice of performing thyroid surgeries under local anesthesia, discussing its feasibility and benefits in modern surgical settings. Dr. Oberna also co-authored a case report titled "Metastatic Papillary Thyroid Cancer with no Primary Tumor in the Thyroid Gland," which examined a rare presentation of metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma without an identifiable primary tumor in the thyroid gland. This case highlighted the importance of thorough diagnostic evaluations in atypical presentations of thyroid cancers.

    Thyroid Surgery in Local Anaesthesia: Renewal an Old Method
    Author(s): Bernadett Lévay*, Kiss A, Zelenai F, Elek J and Oberna F

    Introduction: In the older times of thyroid surgery, the operations were performed under local anaesthesia. With the development of anaesthesia surgeons preferred to use narcosis for most thyroid surgeries. Today, however, regional anaesthesia has become popular as a safe and effective technique based on numerous clinical studies, surgeons are still keen on doing surgeries under general anaesthesia. Regional anaesthesia is indicated in high risk patients and also in case of pregnancy, but in well-fit patients it could lead to faster recovery. In case of a substernal goitre or infiltrating carcinoma or in case of severe bleeding disables general anaesthesia should be chosen.
