Partial surgery for nodular goiter leads to high recurrence rates, with 50% of patients showing recurrence on echographic study. Long-term survival without recurrence is possible, questioning the necessity of further treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Thyroidology

Context:

  • Nodular goiter is a common thyroid condition requiring surgical intervention.
  • Partial thyroidectomy is a frequent surgical approach for nodular goiter.
  • Long-term recurrence rates after partial surgery for nodular goiter are not fully elucidated.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the long-term recurrence rate of nodular goiter after partial surgery.
  • To assess clinical and echographic recurrence in patients operated on at least 10 years ago.
  • To identify predictive factors for recurrence and evaluate survival without opotherapy.

Summary:

  • A study followed 36 patients who underwent partial surgery for nodular goiter over 10 years ago.
  • Clinical examination revealed recurrence in 16.65% of patients, while echographic studies showed recurrence in 50%.

  • Predictive factors for recurrence included endemic origin, ethnicity, partial surgery, and vesicular goiters; 66.65% survival without recurrence at 18 years was observed.

    • Impact:

    • Findings suggest a high rate of subclinical recurrence following partial nodular goiter surgery.
    • The study questions the routine necessity of opotherapy (treatment with medication) post-surgery.
    • Identifies key risk factors that may guide surgical decision-making and patient follow-up strategies.
