In current clinical practice, the concept of outpatient surgery could apply to thyroidectomy. As the thyroid is anatomically accessible, its removal is not physiologically disabling; it makes surgery safer and precludes hospitalization. To evaluate the feasibility and solidity of outpatient thyroidectomy (OPT), the authors conducted a 12 1/2-year study

The Laryngoscope, 2019
ObjectiveIn this article, we present a series of 28 patients who underwent thyroid surgery using local anesthesia. We describe our technique, report outcomes, and assess how well the procedure was tolerated from a patient perspective.MethodsThree surgeons performed awake thyroidectomies and recorded data, including the patient's age and gender, surgery

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2016
Total thyroidectomy has significantly changed over the years from a morbid procedure to one that is performed routinely on an outpatient basis. This article reviews the history of thyroid surgery with regard to hemostasis, discusses surgical vascular anatomy, and describes the methods of hemostasis.

Thyroidectomy for Hyperthyroidism
Archives of Surgery, 1970From 1950 to 1965, 285 thyroidectomies were performed for hyperthyroidism with no deaths and few complications unless the patient had a repeat thyroidectomy. Total thyroidectomy and total lobectomy did not affect the incidence of complications. Seven percent of patients developed recurrent hyperthyroidism and 25% developed hypothyroidism.

Surgery Today, 2011
A new method for ensuring hemostasis during thyroid surgery has recently been introduced. This technique, electrothermal (LigaSure) and ultrasound blood vessel sealing, is still experimental. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the applications and efficacy of LigaSure by analyzing the duration of the surgery and the rate of complications of ...

Acta Physiologica Scandinavica, 1965
AbstractEkman, L. Thyroidectomy of the goat. Acta physiol. scand. 1965. 65. 331–336. —A procedure to obtain complete thyroidectomy in the adult goat is described. In 4 of 6 goats ectopic thyroid tissue was detected after surgical thyroidectomy. The goats were given treatment doses of 20 to 25 mCi I131 once a month until no ectopic thyroid tissue could ...

Clinical Techniques in Small Animal Practice, 2006
Thyroidectomy in cats is most commonly indicated to treat hyperthyroidism because of adenomatous hyperplasia of the thyroid glands. Preoperative stabilization of the hyperthyroid cat with antithyroid drugs is preferred to minimize anesthetic and surgical complications.

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1975
For several decades following the turn of the century, most thyroid surgery was necessary because of endemic goiter and Grave's disease. A lack of safe anesthesia and an inability to control hyperthyroidism preoperatively necessitated a rapid operating technique. This often meant blind resection of the bulbous anterior and lateral portions of the gland,

Complications of Thyroidectomy
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1983Postoperative complications are related to the wound, hemorrhage, damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve or the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve, injury to the blood supply, or removal of the parathyroids. With proper preoperative evaluation, well-planned surgery, meticulous dissection, and proper attention to intraoperative details ...
