Abstract


BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to assess the incidence of complications in various thyroid surgeries and to identify the risk of complication associated with type of disease and procedure.

                   

MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred fifty patients who underwent thyroid surgery between August 2017 to December 2019 were studied. Patients with various thyroid diseases were included in this study. These patients were thoroughly evaluated and were planned for surgery.

 

RESULTS: Incidence of complications were higher in toxic goitre followed by malignancy and multinodular goitre. Complications were observed following total thyroidectomy, subtotal and near total thyroidectomy. Among the complications incidence of postoperative hypocalcaemia and recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy were the commonly occurring followed by haemorrhage.

 

CONCLUSION: Hypocalcaemia and recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy were the commonly occurring complications. It is essential to have knowledge about the complications following thyroid surgery and good surgical expertise is essential to avoid such complications.
