Risk of Complications in Patients Undergoing Complete Thyroidectomy. A Retrospective Study

Introduction: The main aim of this study was to determine the influence surgery on postoperative complications in patients undergoing total thyroidectomy. Methods: Patients diagnosed with goiter and thyroidectomy for more than ten years were retrospectively enrolled, outcomes complications. Statistical analysis done by chi-square t-test a p-value <0.05 as significant. Results: A 116 identified (mean age, 45.3 ± 8.75 years, minimum maximum age 23 69). most affected resulted 41-50 old 41.4% (95% CI, 37.4 45.8%). majority women (85.3%), mean 47 years. After thyroid surgery, male had significantly higher rates hospital readmission females risk ratio [RR] 1.05; 95% CI [0.67–1.52], = 0.02. Either hemorrhage/hematoma occurred 4.7% cardiopulmonary thromboembolic events 3.1% In addition, either hypoparathyroidism observed temporary recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy (RLN) 1.56%. Conclusion: current demonstrates that is associated an increased rate hemorrhagic RLN palsies are less observed. Male have ICU admission. Furthermore, revealed hemorrhage wound infection, while or frequent among female patients.
