Microsurgical thyroidectomy (MT) significantly reduces transient hypocalcemia compared to traditional thyroidectomy (TT). This advanced technique offers improved safety without increasing operative time, making it an effective option for thyroid surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Traditional thyroidectomy (TT) carries risks of complications such as nerve injury and hypocalcemia.
  • Visual magnification is crucial for improving surgical precision and patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To prospectively evaluate microsurgical thyroidectomy (MT) against traditional thyroidectomy (TT).
  • To compare operative time, bleeding, and complication rates, including nerve and parathyroid injury.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study comparing MT (using surgical microscope) with TT (without magnification).
  • 98 patients underwent thyroid surgery, divided into MT (58) and TT (40) groups.
  • Outcome measures included operative time, blood loss, and rates of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN), external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN), and parathyroid gland injury.

Main Results:

  • No significant differences in operative time or blood loss between MT and TT groups.
  • Transient hypocalcemia was significantly lower in the MT group (1.7%) versus the TT group (12.5%, P=0.032).
  • For total thyroidectomy, transient hypocalcemia was 4.1% in MT vs. 33.3% in TT (P=0.022).

Conclusions:

  • Microsurgical thyroidectomy is a feasible and effective procedure.
  • MT significantly reduces complications, particularly transient hypocalcemia, without increasing operative time.
  • The integration of a camera with the microscope enhances teaching capabilities.
