Surgical outcomes of thyroidectomy patients: Single-center experience

Year 2024, Volume: 17 Issue: 2, 30 - 35, 01.07.2024

Abstract

Thyroid cancer incidence has been on the rise globally, attributed to advancements in detection technologies. Surgical outcomes and complications of thyroidectomy remain debated, with varying evidence on the safety and timing of completion of thyroidectomy. This study aims to retrospectively evaluate thyroidectomy patients at a regional reference clinic, comparing outcomes with existing literature.
A retrospective analysis of 471 thyroidectomy patients (2012-2022) included demographic data, preoperative assessments, and postoperative complications. Data were analyzed using SPSS. Patients with malignancy pathology results were compared with benign cases. Exclusions included those under 18 and reoperated cases.
Females predominated (81.5%), aligning with global trends. Malignant cases had higher rates of AUS-FLUS and follicular neoplasia on FNAB. Postoperative T4 values were significantly higher in benign cases, while TSH values were lower. Vocal cord paralysis occurred in 10.8%, with nerve monitoring reducing permanent damage post-2018.
Demographic findings mirrored global trends, emphasizing the female predominance in seeking thyroidectomy. FNAB effectively predicted malignancy, supporting accurate preoperative assessments. Postoperative thyroid and laboratory values varied between benign and malignant groups, with nerve monitoring reducing permanent damage rates.
Thyroidectomy, a common procedure for thyroid diseases, requires meticulous planning to minimize complications. FNAB results, laboratory values, and nerve monitoring significantly influence outcomes. This study contributes a comprehensive overview of thyroidectomy outcomes, emphasizing the need for careful preoperative assessments and the integration of advanced technologies. The findings prompt further research for a more nuanced understanding of thyroidectomy outcomes.

Tiroidektomi Hastalarının Cerrahi Sonuçları: Tek Merkez Deneyimi

Year 2024, Volume: 17 Issue: 2, 30 - 35, 01.07.2024

Abstract

Giriş:
Tiroid kanseri insidansı küresel olarak artmaktadır ve bu durum, tespit teknolojilerindeki ilerlemelere bağlanmaktadır. Tiroidektominin cerrahi sonuçları ve komplikasyonları, tamamlanmış tiroidektominin güvenliği ve zamanlaması konularında farklı kanıtların olduğu bir tartışma halindedir. Bu çalışma, bölgesel bir referans kliniğinde tiroidektomi geçirmiş hastaları retrospektif olarak değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır ve sonuçları mevcut literatürle karşılaştırmayı hedeflemektedir.

Yöntem:
2012-2022 yılları arasında 471 tiroidektomi hastasının retrospektif analizi, demografik verileri, preoperatif değerlendirmeleri ve postoperatif komplikasyonları içermiştir. Veriler SPSS kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Malign patoloji sonuçlarına sahip hastalar, benign vakalarla karşılaştırılmıştır. 18 yaşın altındakiler ve dış merkezde yeniden ameliyat geçirenler çalışmaya dahil edilmemiştir.

Sonuçlar:
Kadınlar çoğunluktaydı (%81.5) ve bu, küresel eğilimlere uyumlu bir şekildeydi. Malign vakalarda FNAB'da AUS-FLUS ve foliküler neoplazi oranları daha yüksekti. Postoperatif T4 değerleri benign vakalarda anlamlı derecede yüksekken, TSH değerleri düşüktü. Vokal kord paralizisi %10.8 oranında görüldü ve 2018 sonrasında sinir izleme, kalıcı hasarı azalttı.

Tartışma:
Demografik bulgular, kadınların tiroidektomi talebindeki küresel eğilimleri yansıtarak vurgulamıştır. FNAB, maligniteyi etkili bir şekilde öngörmüş ve doğru preoperatif değerlendirmeleri desteklemiştir. Postoperatif tiroid ve laboratuvar değerleri, benign ve malign gruplar arasında değişmiş ve sinir izleme, kalıcı hasarı azaltmıştır.

Sonuç:
Tiroid hastalıklarının yaygın bir tedavi yöntemi olan tiroidektomi, komplikasyonları minimize etmek için dikkatli planlama gerektirmektedir. FNAB sonuçları, laboratuvar değerleri ve sinir izleme, sonuçları önemli ölçüde etkilemektedir. Bu çalışma, tiroidektomi sonuçlarına kapsamlı bir bakış sunmakta ve dikkatli preoperatif değerlendirmelerin ve ileri teknolojilerin entegrasyonunun önemini vurgulamaktadır. Bulgular, tiroidektomi sonuçlarının daha derin bir anlayışını sağlamak için ileri araştırma alanlarını öne çıkarmaktadır.
