Surgery is the recommended radical treatment for toxic multinodular goiter (TMNG). Total thyroidectomy offers a definitive cure for toxic hyperthyroidism with minimal risk of complications, ensuring improved patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Thyroidology

Context:

  • Toxic multinodular goiter (TMNG) presents a significant clinical challenge, often requiring intervention.
  • Characterized by hyperthyroidism, TMNG necessitates effective management strategies.

Purpose:

  • To analyze surgical outcomes in 70 patients with TMNG.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of surgical thyroidectomy for TMNG.

Summary:

  • A 15-year study of 70 TMNG patients (85.5% female, mean age 40) undergoing surgery revealed high rates of tachycardia and palpitations.
  • Diagnostic imaging confirmed nodules in 95% (ultrasound) and 90% (scintigraphy). Elevated T4 and suppressed TSH indicated hyperthyroidism.
  • Total thyroidectomy (15 patients) and subtotal thyroidectomy (55 patients) were performed post-medical preparation. No deaths occurred; complications included hematomas (2), recurrent nerve injury (2), and hypoparathyroidism (5). Three thyroid carcinomas were identified.

Impact:

  • Surgical intervention, particularly total thyroidectomy, is increasingly favored for TMNG, offering a definitive cure.
  • Advancements in surgical techniques have significantly reduced the risks associated with thyroidectomy, including recurrent nerve or parathyroid injury.
  • This study underscores the safety and effectiveness of surgical management for TMNG, with low complication rates and the potential to detect incidental thyroid cancers.
