Retrospective Evaluation of Thyroid Cancer Cases Requiring Completion Surgery After Lobectomy

Öz

Background: Thyroid lobectomy has become an accepted initial surgical approach for selected patients with low-risk differentiated thyroid cancer. However, postoperative histopathological findings may reveal high-risk features that necessitate completion thyroidectomy. The clinical and pathological characteristics of patients requiring completion surgery after lobectomy remain an important area of investigation. Methods: This single-center, retrospective observational study included patients who underwent thyroid lobectomy for differentiated thyroid cancer between January 2018 and December 2022 and subsequently required completion thyroidectomy based on postoperative histopathological findings. Demographic data, clinical characteristics, surgical details, histopathological features, biochemical parameters, and postoperative complications were analyzed. Statistical analyses were performed using appropriate parametric and non-parametric tests, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Results: A total of 64 patients were included in the study. Papillary thyroid carcinoma was the most common histological subtype. The leading indications for completion thyroidectomy were multifocality, extrathyroidal extension, vascular invasion, aggressive histological variants, and positive surgical margins. Malignant lesions in the contralateral thyroid lobe were detected in approximately one-third of the patients following completion of thyroidectomy. Postoperative hypocalcemia was the most frequently observed complication, with the majority of cases being transient. Permanent complications were rare. Conclusion: Although thyroid lobectomy is an appropriate initial surgical option for selected low-risk differentiated thyroid cancer patients, a considerable proportion require completion thyroidectomy due to high-risk pathological features identified postoperatively. Careful histopathological evaluation and an individualized, risk-adapted surgical strategy are essential to optimize patient outcomes. Completion thyroidectomy can be performed safely in experienced centers with acceptable complication rates.
