Thyroxine Prophylaxis after Bilateral Subtotal Thyroidectomy for Multinodular Goiter.

Abstract: Abstract.In this study, we investigated the value of thyroxine administration to prevent recurrence after bilateral subtotal thyroidectomy for multinodular goiter. Patients that had benign multinodular goiter were operated on with the same surgical principles: ligation of both superior and inferior thyroid arteries on both sides, bilateral subtotal resection of thyroid gland including all visible nodules. On the 3rd postoperative day, the patients were divided into two groups: with 100 microgram 1-thyroxine da… Show more

“…The prevention of goitre recurrence is of great clinical concern, especially in iodine‐deficient areas (Gaitan et al ., 1991; Miccoli et al ., 1993; Feldkamp et al ., 1997; Kulacoglu et al ., 2000; Rotondi et al ., 2000). In cases of goitre recurrence, a second surgical intervention is often required, with increased risk of serious complications (Reeve et al ., 1988).…”

“…In iodine‐deficient areas L‐T4 therapy has been advocated as a useful tool to hinder the recurrence of nontoxic nodular goitre (Ibis et al ., 1991; Miccoli et al ., 1993; Kulacoglu et al ., 2000). Because of the high sensitivity to TSH of the iodine‐depleted thyroid gland (Bray, 1968; Brabant et al ., 1992), suppressive L‐T4 therapy is needed for the prevention of postintervention goitre recurrence (Ibis et al ., 1991; Miccoli et al ., 1993).…”

“…Seu emprego tem relação com a eficácia na diminuição dos nódulos de origem adenomatosa (Bartalena et al, 1991;Bennedbaek et al, 1999;Gharib e Mazzaferri, 1998;Gharib et al, 1987;Samuels, 2001;Wémeau et al, 2002). O uso deste tipo de terapia é defendido por vários autores, especialmente nos estudos com populações de áreas onde há carência de iodo (Miccoli et al, 1993;Kulacoglu et al, 2000;Niepomniscze et al, 2001;Basili et al, 2003).…”
