No results posted yet for this study

Summary

459 adult patients who received a hemithyroidectomy at the Department of General Surgery, Division of Endocrine Surgery and a follow-up visit (3-12 months post-surgery) at the thyroid outpatient clinic of the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Medical University of Vienna between 1994 and 2018 were identified and investigated in this retrospective study. The aim of this study was to investigate whether patients post right side hemithyroidectomy require a higher mean levothyroxine dosage than patients after left lobe hemithyroidectomy as the right thyroid lobe is bigger than the left lobe. Further, we aimed at developing a better post-surgery thyroid dosage prediction model.
