    Summary

    Total thyroidectomy is a safe and effective surgical treatment for thyroid cancer, offering good long-term results with low complication rates. This procedure is recommended for all thyroid cancer patients due to multicentricity and prognosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Thyroid Cancer Research

    Background:

    • Thyroid cancer treatment involves surgical intervention.
    • The choice between lobectomy and total thyroidectomy remains a subject of debate.
    • Multicentricity and prognosis of differentiated thyroid cancers influence treatment decisions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of total thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer.
    • To assess the morbidity and long-term outcomes of total thyroidectomy with or without neck dissection.
    • To recommend the optimal surgical approach for thyroid malignancies.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 322 surgically treated thyroid cancer patients from November 1970 to July 1983.
    • Total thyroidectomy as the primary surgical procedure.

  • Modified neck dissection and upper mediastinal lymph node dissection performed in select cases.

    • Main Results:

    • No operative deaths were recorded.
    • Zero cases of iatrogenic recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy.
    • Permanent parathyroid insufficiency occurred in approximately 4% of patients.
    • Low morbidity and favorable long-term outcomes were observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Total thyroidectomy is a safe procedure with low morbidity when performed by skilled surgeons.
    • The benefits of total thyroidectomy include managing multicentric disease, facilitating radioactive iodine therapy, and simplifying hypothyroidism management.
    • Total thyroidectomy is recommended as the treatment of choice for thyroid malignancies.
