Abstract
Background: Hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, inflammation of thyroid (thyroiditis), thyroid enlargement (goitre), thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer are amongst the thyroid disorders. The study aims to the occurrence of various post-operative complications following thyroidectomy. Subjects and Methods: One hundred patients who underwent thyroid surgery, for various thyroid disorders were taken for the study. elaborate analysis of those patients who underwent thyroidectomy was done relating to numerous aspects like age, sex, diagnosis & indication for surgery, type of thyroidectomy procedure done, incidence of individual complications. Results: About 37% of the patients were diagnosed with multinodular goiter,followed in frequency by solitary thyroid nodule (27%) and Follicular adenoma (11%). Malignancy(bothfollicular in 3 patientsandpapillary in 7 patients) was diagnosed in total 10 Patients out of 100. Three cases each of Diffuse colloid goiter and Primary thyrotoxicosis. Conclusion: Careful assessment of surgical and medical thérapeutic methods can still minimize the complications and repetition of thyroid surgery.
Highlights
The thyroid is an endocrine gland found in the neck that produces hormones
Complications of thyroidectomy are related to disease type, extent of disease, removal procedures, surgeon training and experience.[2,3,4,5]
The purpose of this study is to figure out the various thyroid conditions and complications following different thyroidectomy procedures and postoperative complications with the timely care institution to minimize morbidity and provide the patient with the best result
Summary
The thyroid is an endocrine gland found in the neck that produces hormones. The thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) have a strong effect on energy metabolism, temperature control and the production of body heat. These entail physiological disorders, such as overproduction (hyperthyroidism) and thyroid hormone underproduction (hypothyroidism) due to inherent thyroid conditions, and the occurrence of pathological anomalies such as goiter (thyroid gland enlargement), adenoma or carcinoma, Thyroiditis (swelling of the thyroid). Subjects and Methods: One hundred patients who underwent thyroid surgery, for various thyroid disorders were taken for the study. Elaborate analysis of those patients who underwent thyroidectomy was done relating to numerous aspects like age, sex, diagnosis & indication for surgery, type of thyroidectomy procedure done, incidence of individual complications. Results: About 37% of the patients were diagnosed with multinodular goiter,followed in frequency by solitary thyroid nodule (27%) and Follicular adenoma (11%). Conclusion: Careful assessment of surgical and medical thérapeutic methods can still minimize the complications and repetition of thyroid surgery
