To assess the epidemiology of thyroid disorders and early and late complications following thyroidectomy..
The descriptive cohort study was conducted at the Benazir Bhutto Hospital, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, from April 2017 to Janurary 2020, and comprised of patients undergoing total and near-total thyroidectomy. Post-operative complications were noted, and patients were followed up after 6 months to assess long-term complications. Data was analysed using SPSS 22.
Of the 75 patients, 70(93.3%) were females and 43(58.1%) were aged <40 years. The most common symptom was neck swelling with hyperthyroidism 20(41.7%) and pressure symptom 20(41.7%). Post-operative complications developed in 26(35.6%) patients, with symptomatic hypocalcaemia being the most common 10(13.7%), followed by hoarseness 6(8.2%). Biopsy results were available for 50(66.6%) patients. Benign pathology was present in 44(88%) patients and 6(12.0%) had malignancy. Follow-up data was available for 62(82.7%) patients among whom symptomatic hypocalcaemia was the leading complication in 33(53.2%), followed by permanent hoarseness in 6(9.7%).
Symptomatic hypocalcaemia and hoarseness were found to be the most common post-operative and long-term complications of thyroidectomy.
