abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The significance of lymph node dissection in the VI area of cN0 thyroid papillary carcinoma.
  
  
  METHODS
  Collect 150 cases of patients diagnosed with cNO thyroid papillary carcinoma and they were performed thyroid gland lobe and isthmic portion excision including lateral VI area lymph node cleaning. The specimens were pathologic examined to determinate the size, the position, invasion of thyroid papillary carcinoma,the number and metastasis of lymph node, etc.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In the 150 patients performed the lymph node VI area groups cleaning, 93 cases had VI area of lymph node metastases, so the transfer rate was 62.0%. In the VI area, metastasis rate of tracheal side lymph nodes was 62.0% (93/150), lymph node before throat group was 4.67% (7/150), lymph node before trachea group was 3.33% (5/150), lymph nodes near the trachea laryngeal recurrent nerve ventral group was 52.0% (78/150), and next to the trachea laryngeal recurrent nerve dorsal lymph node group was 21.33% (32/ 150).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In CN0 thyroid papillary carcinoma, VI zone of lymph node metastasis rate is high, and region VI lymph node metastasis rate from high to low in order for: paratracheal lymph node, prelaryngeal lymph node, pretracheal lymph node. The metastasis rate of paratracheal throat back nerve ventral lymph node was the highest in central lymph node.
