AbstractThis study investigates the incidence of temporary and permanent recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy (RLNP) and possible risk factors for patients with different types of thyroid gland diseases. 1224 consecutive patients who underwent thyroidectomy for treatment of various thyroid diseases between the years 2001–2005. The rates of RLNP were evaluated. The surgeon and type of thyroid gland disorder were recognised as possible risk factors for RLNP. The incidence of temporary/permanent RLNP for the whole group was 4.5/0.8%. The rates of temporary RLNP for groups, classified as multinodular goitre, Graves’ disease, thyroid cancer or Hashimoto’s disease were 4.3%, 4.3%, 5.2% and 5.7%, respectively. The rates of permanent RLNP for the same groups were 0.4%, 0.9%, 1.6% and 1.9%, respectively. The frequency of temporary RLNP for individual surgeons ranges from 2.8 to 7.0% and the rates of permanent RLNP is between 0–3.1%. There was no relationship between the surgeon’s experience (the number of procedures performed) and RLNP rates. Total thyroidectomy is a safe procedure associated with a low incidence of RLNP not only for benign multinodular goitre, but also for Graves’disease, thyroid cancer and Hashimoto’s disease. The rates of RLNP among individual surgeons are acceptable with small inter-individual differences.

Short And Long Term

Objective: Approximately one out of five patients with Graves' disease (GD) undergoes a thyroidectomy after a mean period of 18 months of medical treatment. This retrospective and non-randomized study from a teaching hospital compares short- and long-term results of total (TT) and subtotal thyroidectomies (ST) for this disease. Methods: From 1987 to 1997, 94 patients were operated for GD. Thirty-three patients underwent a TT (mostly since 1993) and 61 a ST (keeping 4 to 8 grams of thyroid tissue - mean 6 g). All patients had received propylthiouracil and/or neo-mercazole and were in a euthyroid state at the time of surgery; they also took potassium iodide (lugol) for ten days before surgery. Results: There were no deaths. Transient hypocalcemia (< 3 months) occurred in 32 patients (15 TT and 17 ST) and persistent hypocalcemia in 8 having had TT. Two patients developed transient recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy after ST (< 3 months). After a median follow-up period of seven years (1-15) with five patients lost to follow-up, 41 patients having had a ST are in a hypothyroid state (73%), thirteen are euthyroid (23%), and two suffered recurrent hyperthyroidism, requiring completion of thyroidectomy. All 33 patients having had TT - with follow-ups averaging two years (0.5-8) - are receiving thyroxin substitution. Conclusions: There were no instances of persistent recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy in either group, but persistent hypoparathyroidism occurred more frequently after TT. Long after ST, hypothyroidism developed in nearly three of four cases, whereas euthyroidy was maintained in only one-fourth; recurrent hyperthyroidy was rare.
