Subtotal Versus Total Thyroidectomy for Benign Thyroid Disease - a Prospective Case-control Surgical Outcome Study.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating thyroid resection for Goiter. Completed, enrolled 8,006 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The extent of thyroid resection in benign goiter is controversial. Potential advantages of TT over BST may include: one-stage removal of incidental thyroid cancer reported in up to 10% of operatively treated benign thyroid diseases, and lower risk for goiter recurrence. However, these potential advantages should outweigh the risk of morbidity associated with more radical thyroid resection. The aim of this study was to compare outcomes of bilateral subtotal (BST) vs. total thyroidectomy (TT) for benign bilateral thyroid disease.
