Surgical complications after total thyroidectomy (TT) and subtotal thyroidectomy (STT) were similar across different diseases. Reoperative surgery showed a higher complication rate than primary procedures for thyroidectomy patients.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • General Surgery

Background:

  • Thyroidectomy is a common surgical procedure for various thyroid conditions.
  • Assessing surgical complication rates is crucial for patient outcomes.
  • Comparing total thyroidectomy (TT) and subtotal thyroidectomy (STT) outcomes is important.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze and compare surgical complication rates after total thyroidectomy (TT) and subtotal thyroidectomy (STT).
  • To identify factors influencing complication incidence in thyroidectomy patients.
  • To guide surgical approach selection for different thyroid diseases.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 364 patients undergoing TT or STT over 36 months.
  • Patients grouped by disease: malignant tumors, multinodular goiter, Graves' disease.

  • Comparison of complication rates between primary and reoperative surgeries.

    • Main Results:

    • No statistically significant difference in complications based on surgery type (TT vs. STT) or disease.
    • A statistically significant higher complication rate was observed in reoperative surgeries compared to primary surgeries.
    • Complication rates were analyzed across malignant tumors, multinodular goiter, and Graves' disease.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical approach and disease type do not significantly impact complication rates in thyroidectomy.
    • Reoperative thyroid surgery carries a higher risk of complications.
    • Preference for total thyroidectomy is supported, but individualized clinical assessment is paramount for surgical decision-making.
