ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To study the surgical and biochemical outcomes in nerve-monitored reoperation or revision surgery for recurrent thyroid cancers. STUDYDESIGN:
A single-center retrospective study.SETTING:
Tertiary center.METHODS:
We identified patients with recurrent papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) who underwent reoperation/revision surgery. Study outcomes were surgical complications frequency, recurrence, distant metastasis, and biological complete response (BCR) by comparing preoperative and postoperative thyroglobulin (Tg) levels.RESULTS:
Out of 227 patients, 33.9% presented for ≥2 reoperation surgeries. Nineteen (8.4%) had permanent preoperative hypoparathyroidism while 22 patients (9.7%) had preoperative vocal cord paralysis (VCP). Following reoperation surgery, there were 12 cases (5.3%) of permanent hypocalcemia and no cases of unexpected postoperative VCP. BCR was achieved in 31 patients (35.2%) with complete Tg data. Mean preoperative Tg was 47.7 ng/mL and was 19.7 ng/mL postoperatively (p = .003). The cervical nodal recurrence rate after final surgery was 7.0% (n = 16).CONCLUSION:
Reoperation surgery for recurrent PTC may help achieve biochemical remission regardless of age or the number of prior surgeries.Palavras-chave
