Abstract EN
The goal of this study was to evaluate the complication rate of secondary thyroidectomy in patients with prior thyroid surgery for benign disease.
Over more than 4-year period, 80 thyroid rcoperations were performed in Al-Hussain university hospital.
All informations related to operative procedures, pathology, and complications were recorded prospectivcly.
There were 14 men and 66 women with a mean age of 48 years.
Prior surgery was unilateral in 48 patients (60%) and bilateral in 32 patients (40 %), and 6 patients (7.5 %) had more than one previous thyroid operation.
For euthyroid recurrent nodular goiter, 73 rcoperations (91 %) were performed and 7 reoperations were performed for recurrent thyrotoxicosis (9 %).
Six canccrs were found (7.5 %).
Completion thyroidectomy was done in 50 patients (62.5 %).
Postoperative complications occurred in 11 patients (14 %) : recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy (3 patients), hypocalcemia (4 patients), hematoma requiring surgical evacuation (one patient), and wound infection (3 patients).
Complications remained permanent in 2 patients (2.5 %).
The permanent complication rate is slightly higher in thyroid reoperations than in primary thyroid operations.
However, we believe that this 2.5 % rate is low enough to allow rcopcration whenever it is necessary, provided precise operative rules are respected.
