Abstract :
Background: Many surgical procedures are required for
thyroid diseases, with total thyroidectomy and lobectomy
emerging as the two main techniques. The purpose of this
study was to assess the relationship between clinical and
demographic factors and the surgical management option
selected for patients having thyroid surgery.
Methodology: Patients who had thyroid surgery were
categorized into groups for complete thyroidectomy and
lobectomy based on a retrospective analysis. Age, gender,
BMI, place of residence, length of stay, hospital stay, and
comorbidities such ischemic heart disease and diabetes
mellitus were among the factors looked at. Chi-square tests
were used to examine the relationships between these
variables and the type of operation, and p-values were
computed.
Result: Age, BMI, length of hospital stay, and diabetes
mellitus did not significantly differ between the groups
receiving total thyroidectomy and lobectomy, according to
the research. Nonetheless, there was a tendency towards
significance in terms of gender, with more men having
complete thyroidectomies. Living in a rural area was
significantly correlated with having a lobectomy, and
being in the 1-3 month range was significantly correlatedwith having a total thyroidectomy. There was a trend
towards significance in ischemic heart disease, indicating a
possible correlation with the kind of surgery.
Conclusion: The parameters impacting the decision
between a lobectomy and a complete thyroidectomy are
clarified by this study. Gender, residence, duration, and
ischemic heart disease showed significant relationships,
while age, BMI, hospital stay, and diabetes mellitus did not
significantly influence the decision. Additional
investigation into these patterns may lead to more
individualized surgical approaches for thyroid conditions,
improving clinical judgment in thyroid surgery and
improving patient outcomes.
