Data were retrieved from a comprehensive integrated healthcare database. The primary outcome was overt gestational hypothyroidism (elevated thyrotropin [TSH] with low free T4). Secondary outcomes included thyroid hormone replacement therapy, obstetric complications, and the interval from surgery to the onset of overt hypothyroidism during pregnancy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 521 pregnancies following hemithyroidectomy were compared with 4168 matched control pregnancies. Overt gestational hypothyroidism was significantly more frequent among women with prior hemithyroidectomy than among controls (22.5% vs. 1.9%,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001), and the risk was highest among those operated for thyroid cancer. Thyroid hormone replacement therapy during pregnancy was markedly higher in the hemithyroidectomy cohort (19% vs. 2.7%,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001).

The median interval from surgery to gestational diagnosis was 2.5 years (interquartile range, 1.0\u20135.4 years), with nearly two-thirds of affected women already meeting biochemical criteria at their first prenatal assessment. Notably, a profound surveillance gap was uncovered 29.5% of post-hemithyroidectomy women completely missed first-trimester TSH screening. Despite the higher burden of biochemical thyroid dysfunction, absolute rates of adverse obstetric outcomes did not differ significantly between cohorts.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Preconception hemithyroidectomy is associated with a markedly increased risk of gestational hypothyroidism and a higher need for thyroid hormone replacement, particularly in women treated for thyroid cancer.
