    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Nuclear Medicine
    • Otolaryngology

    Context:

    • A retrospective analysis of 564 thyroid surgery patients treated between 1972 and 1976.
    • Patients were managed by specialists in nuclear medicine and endocrinology.
    • Focus on surgical outcomes for benign goiters and malignant thyroid tumors.

    Purpose:

    • To report the frequency of unilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis after initial thyroid surgery.
    • To discuss surgical techniques aimed at preventing recurrent laryngeal nerve injury.
    • To evaluate surgical outcomes in a cohort of thyroid disease patients.

    Summary:

    • Operated on 564 patients: 433 with benign goiters (152 hyperthyroid) and 131 with malignant thyroid tumors.
    • 61 patients underwent operations for recurrent benign goiter.
    • A 4.4% frequency of unilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis was observed post-first operation, confirmed by laryngoscopy.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the incidence of a significant surgical complication in thyroidectomies.
    • Informs surgical practice by discussing preventative measures for recurrent laryngeal nerve damage.
    • Contributes data on surgical management of thyroid diseases, including goiters and tumors.
