CONCLUSIONS: The present study shows that total thyroidectomy can be performed without increasing risk of complication, and it is an acceptable alternative for benign multinodular goiter, especially in endemic regions, where patients present with a huge [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  […] usually alleviates symptoms. 2) Airway obstruction (compressing hematoma, trachiomalacia) Incidence of hematoma is 1-2%, tracheomalacia incidence is 3) Recurrent laryngeal nerve injury Incidence of injury is 0.77% for unilateral damage resulting in hoarseness [openanesthesia.org]

  There is a 1% chance of permanent hoarseness and a 5% chance of temporary hoarseness ( Low blood calcium: There are parathyroid glands that lie behind your thyroid gland that help to control your blood calcium levels. [endocrine.surgery.ucsf.edu]

  You may also have a hoarse voice or sore throat for a few days. There may be a drain from the site of the incision. It helps with healing and will later be removed. You’ll either stay overnight at the hospital, or go home the day of the surgery. [webmd.com]

  Potential complications of thyroid surgery include: Temporary or permanent hoarseness or loss of voice. This can happen if the larynx (voice box) or windpipe is irritated by the breathing tube that was used during surgery. [cancer.org]

• Anhidrosis

  Ophthalmic examination revealed eyelid ptosis, miosis and anhidrosis. Preoperative ultrasonography showed multiple isohyperechogenic solid nodules in each lobe, consistent with multinodular goitre. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Ejection Fraction Decreased

  One year earlier, the patient was diagnosed with primary dilated cardiomyopathy with ejection fraction decreased to 25% and after coronary angiography, which revealed normal coronary arteries, he received implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

To clarify the difference of their prognosis and establish the appropriate thyroid surgery, we studied 105 patients with differentiated thyroid cancer who were treated with total or subtotal thyroidectomy, excluding those with small tumors, under uniform [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Nursing priorities will include managing hyperthyroid state preoperatively, relieving pain, providing information about the surgical procedure, prognosis, and treatment needs, and preventing complications. [nurseslabs.com]

Also, the worsened prognosis observed in patients with locally advanced lesions, positive margins, and high-risk histologic WDTC variants – tall cell, columnar cell, and diffuse sclerosing – are indications for aggressive therapy that includes total thyroidectomy [larianmd.com]

Chronic hypocalcemia, irrespectively of its etiology, can lead to severe impairment of the left ventricular (LV) contractility manifesting as dilated cardiomyopathy, usually defined as hypocalcemic cardiomyopathy (hypocaCM). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The etiology of postoperative hypoparathyroidism has been proven to be multifactorial, with the surgical technique, the devascularization and accidental resection of the parathyroid glands being the most significant factors. 11 It is also related to the [hormones.gr]
