Completion thyroidectomy (CT) is a secondary surgery after initial lobectomy for well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). It is also performed due to complications like nerve injury or surgeon expertise limitations.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Head and Neck Surgery

Background:

  • Completion thyroidectomy (CT) is a surgical procedure.
  • It is often performed after an initial thyroid lobectomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the indications for completion thyroidectomy.
  • To discuss its role in managing differentiated thyroid carcinoma and surgical complications.

Main Methods:

  • Review of indications for completion thyroidectomy.
  • Analysis of its application in specific thyroid cancer and surgical scenarios.

Main Results:

  • CT is indicated post-lobectomy for histopathological confirmation of well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC).

  • CT serves as a secondary procedure to address complications such as recurrent laryngeal nerve injury or surgeon inexperience.

    • Conclusions:

    • Completion thyroidectomy is a crucial secondary procedure in thyroid cancer management.
    • It addresses both oncological needs and complications arising from initial thyroid surgery.
