Thyroid Surgery: Techniques, Complications, and Patient Outcomes

When the thyroid gland, which is situated in the front section of the neck, becomes infected or otherwise unhealthy, the surgeon doing the thyroidectomy will remove all or part of the gland. This study aimed to know the Thyroid Surgery: Techniques, Complications, and Patient Outcomes. An analysis of demographic data was performed using IBM SOFT SPSS 22 in retrospective research including 85 patients who had thyroidectomy procedures performed at various Iraqi hospitals between 2018 and 2020.  Data on the gender, age, and developmental status of patients who had surgery within the specified time period was retrieved from their medical records. Hypercalcemia affected 12.9% of patients, wound hematoma 8.2%, and external branch of superior laryngeal nerve palsy 5.9% of the 85 patients included in this research.  The results showed a favorable and statistically significant correlation (p = 0.056) between the occurrences of the various thyroid surgical complications.
