Thyroidectomy

Thyroidectomy is a medical procedure involving the surgical removal of all or part of the thyroid gland.
This operation is commonly performed to treat thyroid disorders, such as thyroid cancer, thyroid nodules, or hyperthyroidism.
Thyroidectomy can be an effective treatment option, but requires careful consideration of potential risks and benefits.
The procedure may involve the complete or partial removal of the thyroid gland, depending on the specific condition being addressed.
Patients undergoing thyroidectomy typically require close medical monitoring and may need lifelong thyroid hormone replacement therapy.
Optimizing the research and protocols around thyroidectomy can help improve outcomes and enhance reproducibility for this important surgical intervention.

The Clinformatics™ Data Mart captures administrative health claims across the United States for members of a large national managed care company affiliated with OptumInsight (Eden Prairie, MN). We examined claims from January 1, 2012 to June 30, 2015 among adults ages 18 to 64 to capture surgical procedures performed between 2013 and 2014 to account for the 12-month preoperative and 6-month postoperative study period. We included only individuals with continuous medical and prescription drug coverage to evaluate the complete health care experience. We excluded patients ages 18 and younger, as well as patients older than 64 years due to incomplete capture of Medicare Part D prescriptions claims data. The study was deemed exempt from review by the University of Michigan Institutional Review Board.
We selected 13 common elective surgical procedures, and categorized these into minor and major groups based on prior literature. Minor surgical procedures included varicose vein removal, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, laparoscopic appendectomy, hemorrhoidectomy, thyroidectomy, transurethral prostate surgeries, and parathyroidectomy. Major surgical procedures included ventral incisional hernia repair, colectomy, reflux surgery, bariatric surgery, and hysterectomy. We identified patients undergoing surgery using Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) or International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD9_ procedure codes (Supplemental Table 1).
We sought to determine new persistent opioid use after surgery, and included only patients who filled an opioid prescription fill either in the month prior to surgery or within two weeks after discharge. Comparable to previous studies of opioid naïve surgical populations,7 (link),8 patients who had filled one or more prescriptions for opioids 12 months to 31 days prior to their surgical procedure were excluded from the analysis (Figure 1). To account for prescriptions provided preoperatively for postoperative pain control, patients filling opioids in the 30 days prior to surgery were included, and prescriptions filled in this time was included as a covariate in the analyses. Lastly, we excluded patients who underwent additional surgical procedures during the study period using subsequent procedural codes for anesthesia in the 6-month postoperative period.
As a comparison cohort of patients who did not undergo surgery, we identified a random 10% sample patients ages 18 to 64 years of age who did not undergo surgery in the study period We included only patients in the nonoperative group who did not fill an opioid prescription during a 12 month period and did not have any codes for surgical procedures or anesthesia during this period. These patients were then given a random date of surgery. No patients had an opioid fill in the year prior to their fictitious surgery date nor did they have any anesthesia codes in the 6 months following their fictitious surgery date.

The study enrolled patients from September 2014 until February 2016, and was approved by the Ethics Review Board of the University Hospitals of Geneva (HUG 08‐2014). The trial was registered at http://clinicaltrials.gov (NCT02249780). Written informed consent was obtained from all study participants.
Thyroid surgery was performed by three experienced surgeons, using a standard protocol. The recurrent laryngeal nerve was identified during the procedure using neural monitoring (NIM 3.0®; Medtronic, Dublin, Ireland). No systematic search for parathyroid glands during total thyroidectomy was done and the dissection was performed close to the thyroid gland. Once the thyroid specimen had been removed, it was actively searched for parathyroid glands, which were then prepared for reimplantation if needed. The number of parathyroid glands identified in each patient was recorded.
After the thyroid gland had been removed, intraoperative angiography was performed on the identified parathyroid glands using a near‐infrared camera (Pinpoint®; Novadaq, Toronto, Ontario, Canada). ICG (2·5 mg/ml) was prepared as described previously and injected intravenously29, 31. Repeated doses were allowed until a maximum toxic dose of 5 mg/kg was reached. Approximately 1–2 min later, images were acquired by the near‐infrared system and recorded. Each identified parathyroid gland was classified according to the degree of ICG fluorescence: ICG score 0, a black parathyroid gland after the injection of ICG, indicating a non‐vascularized gland; ICG score 1, a grey or heterogeneous parathyroid gland, suggesting that the gland is partially vascularized; or ICG score 2, a white parathyroid gland, indicating that the gland is well vascularized (Fig1)29, 31. If there was discordance between surgeons in evaluating ICG fluorescence, the lowest value was taken into account.
Patients with at least one well perfused parathyroid gland (ICG score 2) were considered eligible for randomization. Study inclusion criteria were: adult patients undergoing total thyroidectomy or completion thyroidectomy with an ICG score of 2 in at least one identified parathyroid gland, and a signed informed consent. Exclusion criteria were: concurrent parathyroid disease or combined surgery (thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy); ICG score below 2 for all identified parathyroid glands; postoperative bleeding requiring reintervention; lack of informed consent; and altered mental status. Randomization was performed by the surgical team after ICG angiography at the end of the surgical procedure, by opening a sealed envelope.

Patients planning to undergo thyroidectomy were recruited between January and December 2010 with the following criteria: (1) age 25-80 years, (2) diagnosed with differentiated thyroid carcinoma, and (3) no previous cancer history. Based on these criteria, 272 patients were eligible for inclusion in the analyses. All participants underwent thyroidectomy as described previously [15 (link)]. The surgical procedures were performed by experienced thyroid surgeons. Prophylactic or therapeutic central neck dissection, which included the pretracheal, prelaryngeal, and paratracheal nodes, was performed on all patients. RAI therapy was recommended 2-4 months after surgery, depending on the risk stratifications included in the guidelines of the American Thyroid Association, after a full interdisciplinary discussion [16 (link)]. All enrolled patients were followed for > 12 months. KT-QoL and Voice Handicap Index 30 (VHI-30) were taken preoperatively and at 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery. All participants provided a written informed consent according to the policies and procedures approved by the institutional review board of the National Cancer Center, Korea (NCCNCS-09-294).

This retrospective study was carried out in King Salman Armed Forces Hospital, Northwestern Region, Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, between January 2015 and December 2021. We enrolled 437 male and female patients who underwent thyroid surgeries. Patients with symptomatic preoperative RLN palsy were excluded.
Data were retrieved from the patients’ medical records. Intraoperative vocal cord assessment was carried out before extubation via direct laryngoscopy if there was a concern during the procedure. Moreover, vocal cords were assessed via indirect laryngoscopy in patients who developed postoperative voice changes. Additionally, all patients were evaluated clinically 2-3 weeks after surgery. Nerve monitors were not used in either case.
We routinely visualize the RLN during surgery at our institution. Routine preoperative vocal cord assessment was not carried out at our center unless there were compressive symptoms, such as voice changes or prior redo surgery.
The records included demographic information (age and gender), final pathology (benign vs. malignant), and surgical extent (hemi, subtotal, completion, or total thyroidectomies).
The study was approved by the Review Board of King Salman Armed Forces Hospital, Northwestern Region, Tabuk, Saudi Arabia (approval number KSAFH-REC-2017166) and was carried out according to principles set forth in the Declaration of Helsinki. The informed consent was not required due to the retrospective design of the study.
