Outpatient hemithyroidectomy is a safe and reliable surgical option. This study found low rates of complications and hospital admissions, indicating its feasibility for selected patients.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Endocrine Surgery
  • Public Health Policy

Background:

  • Outpatient surgery is a significant public health consideration.
  • Hemithyroidectomy is a potential alternative to total thyroidectomy in outpatient settings.
  • This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of outpatient hemithyroidectomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the incidence of postoperative hematoma following outpatient hemithyroidectomy.
  • To determine the rate of unscheduled hospital admissions after outpatient hemithyroidectomy.
  • To evaluate patient satisfaction with outpatient hemithyroidectomy.

Main Methods:

  • A multicenter retrospective analysis was performed across two hospitals from January 2009 to December 2013.
  • Exclusion criteria included ASA score >2, anticoagulant use, risk of completion, and procedures needing >12 hours surveillance.

  • Data collected included patient demographics, postoperative complications, and hospital admissions.

    • Main Results:

    • Out of 294 hemithyroidectomies, 130 (44%) were performed on an outpatient basis.
    • In the outpatient group, mean age was 44 years, with 64% having no contraindications for outpatient surgery.
    • Only two patients required admission for surveillance, with no revision surgeries and high patient satisfaction.

    Conclusions:

    • Outpatient hemithyroidectomy demonstrated a safe and reliable profile in this study.
    • The procedure is a viable option for carefully selected patients.
    • High patient satisfaction further supports the use of outpatient hemithyroidectomy.
