- Abstract
Hypothyroidism is a recognized sequela of conventional thyroid lobectomy. However, there have been no studies on the incidence of hypothyroidism following the preservation of the isthmus and pyramid during lobectomy. Therefore, in the present study, we compared the incidence of hypothyroidism following conventional lobectomy and lobectomy during which the isthmus and pyramidal lobe were preserved. Data for a total of 65 patients collected between September 2018 and April 2019 were reviewed retrospectively. Circulating thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) concentration was measured before and after surgery in a group who underwent conventional thyroid lobectomy (n = 29) and in a group in which the isthmus and pyramid were preserved (n = 36). We found no significant difference in TSH concentration between the two groups before surgery, or 3 months or 1 year after surgery. Thus, there might be no difference in the incidence of postoperative hypothyroidism between patients who undergo conventional thyroid lobectomy and those in which the isthmus and pyramid are preserved.
