A Prospective Study

BACKGROUND Thyroidectomy is a surgical procedure which is commonly performed by surgeons worldwide, but the outcome and complication rates were mainly dependent on the surgeon’s skill and experience, indication and the extent of surgery and the number of thyroid surgeries performed at that particular centre. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of the postoperative complications after thyroid surgery in Sri Venkateswara Ramnaraian Ruiya Government General Hospital, Tirupati. METHODS A prospective study conducted on 100 patients with thyroid swelling who attended the Sri Venkateshwara Ramnaraian Ruya Government General Hospital, Tirupati. Patient age, sex, rural/urban origin, history, diagnosis, type of surgery, laboratory investigation such as complete blood, serum calcium, thyroid function test, us culture and sensitivity test in wound infections and indirect laryngoscopy for all pre-operative patients and postoperative voice change patients. Outcomes recorded as a complication of thyroid surgery within one week. RESULTS Totally 100 patients were enrolled in the study. Thyroid enlargement was more common in females (F: M =5.6:1) presenting in 3rd and 4th decades mostly with the mean age and standard deviation were 42.92 years and 13.097 years respectively. Total thyroidectomy was the most common procedure performed (44 %) followed by hemithyroidectomy (31 %), subtotal thyroidectomies (29 %) and near total thyroidectomy (5 %). On histopathological examination most common finding was multinodular goiter (54 %) followed by nodular goiter (33 %) and malignancies (10 %). The overall postoperative complication rate was 47 %. The most common postoperative complications after thyroidectomies were seroma formation in wound complication (27 %), followed by hypocalcemia (11 %), recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury (3 %), and surgical site infection (2 %). Majority of these complications were found to be associated with total thyroidectomy, female population, and in patients with age more than 30 years. CONCLUSIONS Seroma formation in wound complication is the commonest post thyroidectomy complication. Female gender, old age, and extensive thyroid surgery were associated with increased complication rate. KEYWORDS Post-Operative Complications, Thyroid Surgery

Post Operative Complications

Background: Incisional hernia is a common surgical condition encountered in day to day practice. Based on national operative statistics, incisional hernias account for 15 to 20% of all abdominal wall hernias. Of all hernias encountered incisional hernias can be the most frustrating and challenging to treat. This prospective study aims to assess the efficacy of preperitoneal mesh repair technique using polypropylene mesh in the management of incisional hernia.Methods: A total of 40 patients with incisional hernia undergone open preperitoneal polypropylene mesh repair. It had evaluated for post-operative complications and recurrence for six months to one-year post-surgery. The results had tabulated statistically analysed and compared with other published reports in the literature.Results: Out of 40 patients, the size of the defect, 10 patients had less than 2 cm, 28 patients had between 2.1-4 cm, 1 patient between 4.1-6 cm and 1 patient between 6.1-8 cm. The type of hernia, 32 patients had infra umbilical hernia, and 8 patients had a supraumbilical hernia. Post-operative complication 3 patients had seroma, 1 patient had edge necrosis, 1 patient had post-op ileus, and 1 patient had chronic pain. Based on follow up, 4 patients had followed until 6 months, 10 patients till 9 months and 26 patients till one year.Conclusions: Post-operative complications following open preperitoneal polypropylene mesh repair are considerably less compared to other techniques of mesh repair and showed no recurrence among its subjects during the follow-up period, and longer follow-up is required to draw a definitive conclusion.

Aim: The aim of the study is to observe the result of thyroidectomy without keeping drain tube. Methods: This is a prospective study of a series of patients who underwent thyroidectomy without drain from January 2017 to December 2019. Presence of any post-operative complications like hematoma, seromas and hemorrhage were recorded. Results: Among 105 patients included in this study only one patient had post-operative hematoma. There was neither hemorrhage nor seroma in other any patients. Proper hemostasis was maintained during surgery of all these cases. Their post-operative recovery was good. Conclusion: Drainage is may not be required after thyroidectomy if proper and adequate hemostasis is ensured. Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol; April 2020; 26(1): 41-44
