Surgical treatment for hyperthyroidism revealed that male patients experienced a more severe course of thyrotoxicosis. Men undergoing surgery for hyperthyroid goitre faced greater perioperative complications and cardiovascular issues compared to women.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Thyroidology

Background:

  • Hyperthyroidism, a condition of excess thyroid hormones, affects numerous individuals globally.
  • Surgical intervention is a common treatment for hyperthyroid goitre, particularly in cases of significant gland enlargement or compressive symptoms.
  • Understanding gender-specific differences in disease presentation and surgical outcomes is crucial for personalized patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a comparative analysis of the intensity of hyperthyroidism in male and female patients undergoing surgical treatment.
  • To evaluate clinical findings, complications, and postoperative outcomes in relation to gender.
  • To identify potential sex-based disparities in the surgical management of hyperthyroid goitre.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 295 female and 42 male patients operated for hyperthyroid goitre between 1990 and 1996.
  • Evaluation of preoperative and postoperative clinical data, including laboratory tests, visual diagnosis, and intraoperative/postoperative complications.
  • Assessment of cardiovascular parameters and other clinical signs in the perioperative period.

Main Results:

  • Female predominance in hyperthyroidism (7:1 ratio), Graves' disease (7.4:1), and toxic nodular goitre (6.3:1).
  • Males exhibited a higher incidence of thyreocardiac syndrome, retrosternal goitres, and tracheal compression preoperatively.
  • Surgical procedures in males were associated with more intraoperative difficulties, greater blood loss, and more pronounced hyperkinetic circulation and elevated body temperature postoperatively. Psychosis occurred in two male patients.

Conclusions:

  • Male hyperthyroid goitre cases presented with more severe preoperative symptoms and surgical challenges.
  • The perioperative period was characterized by a more intense course of thyrotoxicosis in male patients.
  • These findings highlight significant gender-based differences in the clinical presentation and surgical management of hyperthyroid goitre.
