    Early subtotal thyroidectomy offers a rapid, effective treatment for severe iodine-induced thyrotoxicosis, especially when conservative therapies fail. This surgical approach quickly normalizes thyroid hormone levels and resolves hyperthyroid symptoms.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Context:

    • Iodine-induced thyrotoxicosis often presents with prolonged courses.
    • Patients with thyroid autonomy show resistance to conservative thiourea derivative therapy.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of early subtotal thyroidectomy in managing severe iodine-induced thyrotoxicosis.
    • To assess the safety and outcomes of surgical intervention without preoperative hormone normalization.

    Summary:

    • Early subtotal thyroidectomy was performed on 24 patients with severe hyperthyroidism, including three in thyroid storm.
    • Post-surgery, hormone levels normalized rapidly, and thyrotoxicosis symptoms resolved within days.
    • One patient died from comorbidities; others experienced minor complications like transient respiratory distress or hypocalcemia.

    Impact:

    • Early surgery is a viable option for severe thyrotoxicosis unresponsive to conservative treatment.
    • Subtotal thyroidectomy demonstrated impressive results with minimal perioperative complications.
    • This approach offers rapid normalization in selected severe cases requiring urgent intervention.
