Objective: In the present study, we compared subtotal thyroidectomy (STT) with total thyroidectomy (TT) in the management of bilateral multinodular goitre. Methods: A total of 204 consecutive patients with bilateral multinodular goitre were assigned to have either TT ( n = 73) or STT ( n = 131). Demographic details, hospital stay, biochemical findings, indications for operation and complications were noted. Results: There was no significant difference in the age and sex ratio between the two groups ( P = 0.695 and P = 0.733). According to thyroid functional status, the majority of patients were euthyroid in both groups (73.28% vs 84.90%). Goitre grades II and III presented the most common indication for STT and TT. Hospital stay for patients who underwent TT was significantly longer compared to STT ( P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the rate of permanent complications. Conclusions: In the present study, we have shown that the risk of permanent complications with TT is no greater than with STT. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
