Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Thyroidology

Background:

  • Solitary thyroid nodules affect 2-5% of the Italian population.
  • Diagnosis relies on clinical examination, laboratory tests, and ultrasonography.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the efficacy and safety of lobe-isthmusectomy versus total thyroidectomy for benign solitary thyroid nodules.
  • To evaluate risks of relapse and complications associated with each surgical approach.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective clinical study of 80 patients with benign solitary thyroid nodules operated between 1994 and 2000.
  • Focus on lobe-isthmusectomy, with conversions to total thyroidectomy noted.
  • Utilized laboratory tests and ultrasonographic evaluation for diagnosis and follow-up.

Main Results:

  • Zero operative mortality.
  • Encouraging long-term results with a mean follow-up of three years.
  • Lobe-isthmusectomy demonstrated fewer postoperative complications and shorter hospital stays.

Conclusions:

  • Lobe-isthmusectomy is advantageous for benign solitary thyroid nodules due to reduced complications and hospital stay.
  • The study supports lobe-isthmusectomy as a preferred treatment choice for selected benign thyroid diseases with solitary nodules.
