Tiroidektomi Olgularımızın Retrospektif Analizi

Aim: In this study, we aimed to present a retrospective evaluation of thyroidectomy in our patients.Material and Methods:193 patients operated between June 2010 and October 2014 was evaluated retrospectively. Demographic characteristics of the patients, type of the performed surgery and resulting complications were analyzed. Results: Of a total of 193 patients, 160 were women (82.9%), 33 were male (17.1%). Among them, the youngest patient was 18 years old and the oldest patient was 71 years old. The most common indication for surgery was non-toxic multinodular goiter that is seen in 140 patients (72.53%). Incidental malignancies were found in 21 patients (10.88%). While permanent hypoparathyroidism occurred in one patient, the permanent nerve damage was not observed. Conclusion:Complication rate increases following surgery that performed to recurrence cases. In addition, when considering the rate of incidental malignancies, total thyroidectomy is thought to be appropriate technic for primary cases
