    Area of Science:

    • Surgery
    • Geriatrics
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Thyroid disorders affect a significant patient population.
    • Surgical interventions for thyroid conditions are common.
    • Advanced age can influence surgical outcomes and complication rates.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze thyroid gland operations in elderly patients (over 60).
    • To identify specific challenges, complications, and age-related factors in this demographic.
    • To evaluate the impact of secondary diseases on surgical outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 69 patients aged over 60 who underwent thyroid surgery.
    • Data collection on disease symptoms, intervention types, and complications.
    • Analysis of age-related factors and comorbidities.

    Main Results:

    • Thyroid surgery in patients over 60 involves specific considerations.
    • Complication rates and recovery may be influenced by advanced age and secondary diseases.
    • Detailed analysis of symptoms, interventions, and outcomes in this cohort.

    Conclusions:

    • Thyroid surgery in the elderly requires careful preoperative assessment and management.
    • Understanding age-specific factors is crucial for optimizing surgical outcomes.
    • Further research may elucidate strategies to minimize risks in geriatric thyroid surgery.
