Abstract
To research the prevalence of postoperative difficulties following thyroid surgery for various benign and malignant lesions and to corroborate the findings in relation to the depth of the procedure, as well as to offer an expert summary of the rise and fall of surgery for the thyroid. At Gandhi Medical College in Hyderabad, a scientific research was carried out. Statistics originated from 50 patients who had thyroid removals for various thyroid disorders at this centre. In 30 cases (60%), 3 cases (6%), 2 cases (4%) and 15 (30%) cases, respectively, hemithyroidectomy, subtotal, near complete and total thyroidectomies were performed. The overall rate of postoperative complication was 20%. The most prevalent consequences were postoperative hypocalcemia and recurrent laryngeal nerve damage. In 4% of all operated cases, permanent hypocalcemia and recurrent laryngeal nerve injury were observed. The less frequent symptoms were wound hematoma, seroma formation and superior laryngeal nerve injury. In our study, there was no mortality. The overall complication rate can be minimised by operating in a bloodless field, executing a thorough dissection and precisely recognising and preserving recurrent and superior laryngeal nerves, as well as parathyroid glands.
