Clinical profile of patients with thyroid goiter
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Surgery - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Complications of any surgical procedure are sensitive measures of the quality. Reported complications following thyroid surgery are rare, but their consequences can often be life-threatening, as compared to some other surgeries being performed routinely. Complication rates after thyroid surgery varies widely from surgeon to surgeon and from centre to centre as reported in literature. Methodology: Along with routine laboratory investigations, USG of neck was performed in all patients, while FNAC was carried out, vocal cord function was evaluated by indirect laryngoscopy pre-operatively in all patients. Depending on the extent of resection of thyroid tissue, surgery was categorized as hemithyroidectomy, subtotal thyroidectomy, near total thyroidectomy and total thyroidectomy with routine identification of RLN in tracheao-esophageal groove, its relation with inferior thyroid artery and its branches examined and was then followed when it entered larynx. Results: In this study out of 100 patients 2 females with multinodulargoitre while 1 female with diffuse goitre had hyperthyroidism, rest 97 patients were in euthyroid state Conclusion: None of the patients had pressure symptoms due to enlarged thyroid or had complaint of pain in the swelling
