Thyroid surgery using a surgical microscope in an ENT department yielded favorable outcomes, with low rates of recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy, even with varied surgeon experience.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Head and Neck Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Thyroid surgery is a common procedure with potential complications.
  • The use of surgical microscopes in thyroid surgery is debated.
  • Evaluating outcomes in a university setting is crucial for training and practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report thyroid surgery outcomes at a university ENT department.
  • To assess the benefits of using a surgical microscope in thyroid procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 573 thyroid surgery cases (1987-1996).
  • Standard surgical principles combined with a Zeiss surgical microscope.
  • Procedures included total thyroidectomy for malignancy and lobectomy for benign disease.

Main Results:

  • Permanent recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy rates were 0.6% (benign primary) and 3.5% (malignant primary).
  • Complication rates for completion/recurrent surgery were 4.5% (benign) and 2.9% (malignant).
  • The surgical microscope was used in all procedures.

Conclusions:

  • Thyroid surgery in this university department, utilizing a surgical microscope, achieved satisfactory results.
  • The microscope may contribute to positive outcomes despite diverse surgeon experience and teaching responsibilities.
