Abstract

The aim is to study the frequency of postoperative complications after thyroid surgery for both benign and malignant disorders and to verify these results by analysing the influence of the surgical scope and the clinical course of thyroid surgery. Materials and Methods: An Observational study was done at a tertiary care centre, Government General Hospital, Markapur, and AMC/KGH, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India, over a period of 2years 5months, August 2021 to December 2023 which included 20 individuals who had thyroid surgeries for different thyroid conditions in Department of General Surgery. Results: According to the results of this research, hemithyroidectomy is completely risk-free. Malignant thyroid disease had a greater frequency of complications after thyroidectomy compared to benign thyroid disease according to this series. Reports indicate that the rate of postoperative death ranges from zero to one percent. This series has a mortality rate of 1.71%, which is lower than the majority of published data. An uncommon consequence of thyrotoxic storm was the cause of death for two of the patients. Eliminating this problem requires proper preoperative preparation to achieve euthyroid state, followed by ten days of therapy. Conclusion: It can be concluded that rather than the kind of operation, I think that the operator's ability and experience dictate the rate of complications
