The aim of this study was to review our experience with patients with BMNG in an endemically iodine\u2010deficient region treated by either subtotal or total\/near\u2010total thyroidectomy, and to document whether total or near\u2010total thyroidectomy decreased the rate of completion thyroidectomy for incidentally diagnosed thyroid carcinoma in comparison to the patients with BMNG treated initially by subtotal thyroidectomy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Two thousand five hundred ninety\u2010two patients with BMNG were included. There were 1695 bilateral subtotal thyroidectomies (group 1) and 1211 total or near\u2010total thyroidectomies (group 2) for BMNG during this period. All patients were euthyroid and had no history of hyperthyroidism, radiation exposure, or familial thyroid carcinoma. Any patient with preoperative or perioperative suspicion of malignancy or hyperthyroidism was excluded.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Bilateral subtotal thyroidectomy was performed in 1695 patients (58.3%) in group 1 and total or near\u2010total thyroidectomy in 1211 patients (41.7%), in group 2, respectively. The incidence of incidental thyroid carcinoma was found to be 7.2% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 210\/2906). Although the rate of permanent hypoparathyroidim and transient or permanent unilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) palsy were not significantly different between the two groups, transient hypoparathyroidism was significantly higher in group 2 than in group 1 (8.4% vs. 1.42%; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001, odds ratio [OR] = 52.98). The incidence of thyroid carcinoma was significantly higher in group 2 (10.7%, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 129\/1211) than in group 1 (4.68%, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 81\/1695) (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001; OR = 39.1).Thirty\u2010eight patients in group 1 (2.24%) underwent completion thyroidectomy, whereas completion thyroidectomy has been not indicated in group 2 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.007). Two of 38 patients (5.26%) had thyroid papillary microcarcinoma on their remnant thyroid tissue. The rate of recurrent goiter was 7.1% in group 1. The average time to recurrence in group 1 was 14.9 \u00b1 8.7 years. Six of 121 patients with recurrent disease (4.95%) has been operated on.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Subtotal thyroidectomy resulted in a significantly higher rate of completion thyroidectomy for incidentally diagnosed thyroid carcinoma compared with total or near\u2010total thyroidectomy in patients with BMNG. The extent of surgical resection had no significant effect on the rate of permanent complications. We recommend total or near\u2010total thyroidectomy in BMNG to prevent recurrence and to eliminate the necessity for early completion thyroidectomy in case of a final diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268-008-9808-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,10,28]],"date-time":"2008-10-28T14:44:45Z","timestamp":1225205085000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":70,"title":["The
