OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to consider levels of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1 and TNFα after thyroid surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 200 patients who underwent total thyroidectomy enrolled in this study. Drain fluid samples were taken. IL-1 and TNFα results and their relationship with other factors were analyzed. RESULTS There was a positive correlation between IL-1 ...
BACKGROUND The risk of hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy is well-described in the literature. Recalcitrant hypocalcemia after thyroidectomy in a lactating woman is uncommon and may require multiple strategies to correct. METHODS We present a case report of a lactating woman with papillary thyroid carcinoma requiring total thyroidectomy and neck dissections. RESULTS Postoperatively the ...
Amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis is often poorly tolerated owing to underlying cardiac disease, and frequently resistant to medical therapy. We describe a 48-year-old patient with severe cardiac disease who developed amiodarone-associated thyrotoxicosis, refractory to standard medical therapy. Due to the unremitting thyrotoxicosis, a total thyroidectomy was performed without complications resu...
We undertook this study to estimate an accurate incidence and spread patterns of occult papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) in patients with a preoperative diagnosis of solitary PTC by using whole-specimen mapping of all specimens after a total thyroidectomy. Enrolled prospectively in this whole-thyroid mapping study are 82 consecutive patients who underwent a total thyroidectomy under a preopera...
AIM The aim of this series is to study the need of drainage use after total thyreoidectomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective study of a series of patients who underwent total thyroidectomy from 2005 up to 2013. The presence or not of hematomas, seromas and hemorrhage were recorded. RESULTS Out of the 66 patients included in this series, only one case of post-operative hematoma was recorde...
BACKGROUND Total or near-total thyroidectomy is increasingly used to treat benign thyroid conditions. Lifelong treatment with thyroxine (T4) is then required, but the optimal dose is difficult to predict. This study investigated factors that might predict the ideal T4 dose, with the aim of reducing delays in achieving normal thyroid function after surgery. METHODS Data on 98 patients who unde...
BACKGROUND The ultrasonic scalpel is a recently introduced device in head and neck surgery. Total thyroidectomy is the most common endocrine procedure performed by surgeons. METHODS This was an open, phase IV, multicenter, randomized controlled trial (RCT) that compared the use of an ultrasonic scalpel with a conventional technique in patients who underwent total thyroidectomy. The outcomes w...
Hyperthyroidism in Graves’ disease can be managed with administration of radioiodine or pharmacologically with thionamides or surgically treated with subtotal or total thyroidectomy. The choice of therapy will depend on patient age and preferences, thyroid size, disease severity, presence of ophthalmopathy, and local resources and practices. Treatment policies vary considerably within and betwe...
There is continuing debate on the optimal treatment for Grave's thyrotoxicosis with a resultant variation in clinical practice. The present study aimed to ascertain changes in practice in the treatment of Grave's thyrotoxicosis in Tayside, Scotland, over the past four decades. Methods. The "Scottish automated follow-up register" (SAFUR) was queried to identify all patients treated for Grave's t...
OBJECTIVE To examine the indications for operation and the frequency, efficacy, and outcome of surgical therapy for thyrotoxicosis. METHODS The medical records of all patients who underwent thyroidectomy between 1990 and 1998 were reviewed. Operative indications, laboratory evaluations, extent of thyroidectomy, pathologic findings, and morbidity and mortality were determined for patients with...
