Factors responsible for major complications following thyroid surgery in 598 patients were studied. Patients with non toxic multinodular goiter involving both lobes of thyroid constituted the maximum bulk subjected to thyroidectomy. The most frequent procedure was bilateral subtotal thyroidectomy. Reactionary hemorrhage occurred in 6 patients, all following bilateral procedures and among them 5 patients developed tension hematoma with respiratory obstruction despite the presence of a drain. Temporary vocal cord palsy was observed in 7 patients whereas one patient subjected to total thyroidectomy with neck dissection for papillary carcinoma of thyroid developed permanent right vocal cord palsy. Temporary parathyroid insufficiency was seen in 51 patients and one patient developed permanent hypoparathyroidism. Incidence of parathyroid insufficiency was higher in bilateral procedures as compared to unilateral ones. There was no operation related death in this series, but complications like hemorrhage, vocal cord palsy and parathyroid insufficiency following thyroid surgery are still a deep concern.

Abstract The most convenient surgical procedure for benign thyroid diseases is still controversial. The aim of this study is to determine the recurrence rate and risk factors for recurrence after different thyroidectomy procedures in multinodular goiter patients. Patients were separated into two groups according to the detection of a recurrent nodule or not after thyroidectomy. Of the 748 patients, 216 (29%) had recurrence, while 532 had no recurrent nodule. The difference between surgical procedures described as subtotal (ST), near total (NT) and total thyroidectomy (TT) was statistically significant. Transient hypoparathyroidism was significantly higher in NT and TT, when compared to ST patients (P < 0.05). Young age, bilateral multinodular goiter and insufficient surgery are risk factors affecting recurrence for benign nodular thyroid disease. Currently, subtotal procedures should be discontinued and total or near total procedures should be preferred. Meanwhile, the probability of a higher risk of hypoparathyroidism should be kept in mind.
