Summary

This study aims to investigate, based on existing knowledge, the incidence of occult thyroid carcinoma in a cohort of patients with MNG, providing new insights into the prevalence and characteristics of thyroid malignancies in MNG. It seeks to contribute to optimizing diagnostic evaluations for patients with multinodular goiter.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

total or partial thyroidectomy

Total thyroidectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the complete removal of the thyroid gland. It is performed to treat conditions such as thyroid cancer, large goiters, or severe hyperthyroidism. The surgery is typically conducted under general anesthesia through an incision in the lower neck. Postoperative management may include hormone replacement therapy with levothyroxine to compensate for the loss of thyroid function. Potential complications include hypocalcemia due to parathyroid gland injury and vocal cord dysfunction from recurrent laryngeal nerve damage.
