OMAR ROBERT, Zeila; ALFONSO QUERTS, Víctor Juan y SUAREZ CHUY, Ariadne. Thyroid Surgery Experience at Hospital Oncológico Conrado Benítez of Santiago de Cuba. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2023, vol.62, n.2 Epub 01-Jun-2023. ISSN 1561-2945.
Introduction:
Thyroid nodules are a common clinical problem. Thyroidectomy is one of the most performed techniques in head and neck surgery services, as well a treatment with curative intent for thyroid cancer and benign conditions such as nodular goiter and adenoma.
Objective:
To describe the experience in thyroid surgery at the head and neck surgery service from Hospital Oncológico Conrado Benítez.
Methods:
A descriptive, longitudinal and prospective study was carried out with patients who received any surgical treatment for thyroid disease in the period from September 1, 2017 to August 31, 2022.
Results:
87 % of patients were female, with a mean age of 47.1 years. All of them underwent ultrasonography and fine-needle aspiration biopsy, presenting a close concordance with their definitive diagnosis. Papillary carcinoma predominated (39.5 %), total thyroidectomy was the most commonly used technique (86.5 %) and 94.6 % of patients had no complications. Any recurrent lesion was present in only 1.1 % of cases.
Conclusions:
The thyroidectomy experience at Hospital Oncológico Conrado Benítez is good, based on the concordance between diagnostic means and definitive biopsy, as well as adequate surgical time and few complications.
