Risk of Recurrent laryngeal Nerve Injury In Complete Resection OF Recurrent Multi-nodular Goiter

Role of Preoperative Vit D Administration in Decrease Incidence of Post Thyroidectomy Hypocalcemia

“…The surgical therapy of goiter may be accomplished by lobectomy, partial thyroidectomy, near-total thyroidectomy, or complete thyroidectomy (4) .The gold standard therapy for thyroid carcinoma, multi-nodular goiter, and grave's disease is a total thyroidectomy (5) , however there is a chance of postoperative complications (transient or permanent hypocalcemia and recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis) (6) . Although there are few postoperative problems after a subtotal thyroidectomy, recurrence rates might reach 28% (7) . When compared to complete thyroidectomy, near-total thyroidectomy has lower recurrence and complication rates, making it a safe treatment choice for a variety of benign thyroid conditions (8,9) .…”
