Completion thyroidectomy effectively removes residual thyroid tissue in differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) patients. This procedure demonstrates a low complication rate, making it a safe and efficient surgical option for DTC management.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • The optimal surgical extent for differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) remains debated.
  • While subtotal thyroidectomy offers lower complication rates, total/near-total thyroidectomy and completion thyroidectomy are favored by some for improved survival and comparable morbidity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the incidence of residual tumor after completion thyroidectomy.
  • To evaluate the surgical complication rates associated with completion thyroidectomy for DTC.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of medical records.
  • Analysis of 165 patients who underwent completion thyroidectomy for DTC.

Main Results:

  • Residual tumor was detected in 77 (46.6%) patients.

  • Anaplastic transformation occurred in two patients.
  • Low rates of permanent complications were observed: three cases of recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy and one case of hypoparathyroidism.

    • Conclusions:

    • Completion thyroidectomy is an efficient and safe surgical treatment for DTC.
    • The procedure is associated with a low rate of surgical complications.
