ABSTRACT

Introduction: The thyroid gland is the frequent location of the nodular illness either benign or malignant. In many occasions, the surgical procedure is the main criterion to treat the disease. Some of the complications associated to surgery are postoperative hypoparatyroidism, upper laryngeal nerve injure, mostly outer branch; recurrent laryngeal nerve, and hematoma in the surgical site.
Objectives: To identify the most frequently illnesses affecting the thyroid.
Method: A total of 234 surgeries performed in the thyroid in our center from February 2012 to October 2015 were studied. The percentage method was used to estimate all the variables. Required information was taken from the medical histories and the surgery reports.
Results: Most of the thyroidectomies performed in our center were on benign lesions. The anomalous anatomical variants of the recurrent laryngeal nerve were evident in some cases. There was one temporary recurrent lesion and one permanent, accounting for 0.42%, respectively. Three cases of temporary hypoparathyroidism for 1.28% and a vascular lesion in the anomalous anterior medial thyroid artery were reported.
Conclusions: Benign illnesses are still the most frequent ones in the thyroid gland. The knowledge about the thyroid anatomy and its variants are vital to perform thyroidectomies. Hypoparathyroidism and recurrent laryngeal lesion are the complications related to the extension of thyroidectomy.
