Background: One of the most commonly conducted operations by a general surgeon are thyroid surgeries. Many complications of thyroid operation are linked to metabolic disturbances or a recurrent laryngeal nerve injury. Superior laryngeal nerve injury, inflammation, weakness  of airways and bleeding are other risks. Subjects and Methods: This randomized retrospective sample consists of 50 successive patients who undergo various thyroidectomy procedures and who meet the inclusion criteria after having been introduced to OPD. Results: Post-operative complications following thyroidectomy was seen in 30% of the patients with Hypocalcemia being one of the most prevalent complications postoperatively observed in 18% of the patients followed by wound infection seen in 6% of the cases studied. The frequency of hematoma at the surgical site was 2%. Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve paralysis seen in 2% of the cases and Seroma formation was reported in one individual constituting 2% of the cases. Conclusion: Effective patient surgical control is important and assists in the early detection and treatment of such complications.Careful post-operative patient monitoring ensures quick intervention and helps the patient to achieve better results.

ABSTRACT Background To study the frequency of postoperative complications after thyroid surgery indicated for various benign and malignant lesions and to corroborate the results in relation to the extent of surgery and a clinical overview of evolution of thyroid surgery. Materials and methods An analytical study was carried out at a tertiary care center over a period of 3 years from January 2011 to December 2013. Data were collected from 80 patients who underwent thyroidectomies for various thyroid diseases at this center. Results Hemithyroidectomy, isthmusectomy, subtotal, neartotal, and total thyroidectomies were performed in 36 (45%), 6 (7.5%), 8 (10%), 10 (12.5%), and 20 (25%) cases respectively. The overall postoperative complication rate was 20%. Postoperative hypocalcemia and recurrent laryngeal nerve injury were the most common complications. Permanent hypocalcemia and permanent recurrent laryngeal nerve injury were observed in 3.75 and 2.5% of all operated cases respectively. The less common complications were wound hematoma, seroma formation, and superior laryngeal nerve injury. There was no mortality observed in our series. Conclusion The overall complication rate can be minimized by operating in a bloodless field, doing a meticulous dissection, and correctly identifying and preserving recurrent and superior laryngeal nerves along with parathyroid glands, if feasible.

The Moment

Introduction: Recurrent laryngeal nerve damage during total thyroidectomy was, is, and probably will be in the near future the Achilles’ heel of total thyroidectomy. Material and method: To perform the research we used the PubMed database. The questions were conceived to respect the PICOS guidelines. The PRISMA checklist was used to filter the results. The search was structured following the words: „recurrent laryngeal nerve injury” AND „total thyroidectomy”. Results: A total of 60 papers were identified. We excluded 12 papers as they were duplicates. From the 48 papers left, another 4 could not be obtained. Another 3 papers from the 44 left were excluded due to the fact they were not written in English. One paper was excluded as the subject did not follow our research purpose. 40 papers were left for analysis and discussion. Conclusion: To prevent recurrent laryngeal nerve lesions, at the moment in the literature there is no consensus. Unintentional injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve is predictable but not an avertible situation thus bilateral lesions still represent a dramatic situation across the world for the patients and the operating surgeon.
