Subtotal thyroidectomy for benign thyroid disease offers excellent outcomes with minimal complications. This surgical approach, even for single nodules, often avoids the need for long-term hormone replacement therapy.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Thyroid Surgery

Background:

  • Benign thyroid diseases are common and often require surgical intervention.
  • Surgical options include subtotal thyroidectomy and hemithyroidectomy.
  • Optimizing postoperative thyroid function and minimizing morbidity are key surgical goals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of subtotal thyroidectomy and hemithyroidectomy for benign thyroid diseases.
  • To assess the impact of surgical approach on postoperative thyroid function.
  • To determine the optimal surgical intervention for benign thyroid conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 268 patients undergoing thyroid surgery.
  • 168 subtotal thyroidectomies and 100 hemithyroidectomies performed.

  • Postoperative thyroid function assessed in 135 patients.

    • Main Results:

    • No mortality and 0.74% morbidity observed.
    • Many patients did not require postoperative hormone supplementation.
    • Subtotal thyroidectomy demonstrated favorable functional outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Subtotal thyroidectomy is a safe and effective procedure for benign thyroid disease.
    • This approach can preserve thyroid function, reducing the need for hormone replacement.
    • Subtotal thyroidectomy should be considered the preferred intervention, even for uninodular goiters.
