    Area of Science:

    • Endocrine Surgery
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Recurrent nodular goiter presents challenges in management.
    • Reoperation for nodular goiter requires careful consideration of surgical approach and potential complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the incidence of thyroid carcinoma in recurrent nodular goiter.
    • To analyze surgical techniques, complications, and outcomes of reoperations for nodular goiter.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of radical surgical treatment for recurrent nodular goiter.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 588 reoperations on 577 patients with recurrent nodular goiter (1985-1996).
    • Surgical approaches included medial (73%) and lateral (27%) techniques.
    • Complications such as hypoparathyroidism and recurrent nerve paralysis were documented.

    Main Results:

    • Thyroid carcinoma was diagnosed in 4.76% of patients.
    • Early postoperative complications included hypoparathyroidism (1.7%) and recurrent nerve paralysis (4.76%).
    • A 10% rate of new recurrence of the thyroid disease was observed.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings support a radical surgical approach for all patients with nodular recurrent goiter.
    • Early detection and management of thyroid carcinoma are crucial in reoperative thyroid surgery.
    • Radical surgery aims to minimize the risk of malignancy and disease recurrence.
