Objective

We are reporting our 14 years’ experience with prior hemithyroidectomies or contralateral hemithyroidectomies after a pathology result reporting malignancy (thyroid carcinoma) in the first surgery.

Material and method

Twenty female patients with an average age of 45 years old have been studied and we have analyzed the initial symptoms, results of complementary tests, pathology diagnosis following initial surgery, and final outcome after a second intervention.

Results

The incidence of malignancy shown in our series after secondary surgery was 40% and the percentage of hemithyroidectomy on hemithyroidectomy was 3% after operating on 650 thyroid glands.

Conclusions

Though opinions differ in the medical literature, we feel a total thyroidectomy must be performed after a casual finding of thyroid carcinoma because of the oncologically safer outcome and the better control of the patient.

Key words:
Thyroid carcinoma

Objetivo

Se presenta nuestra experiencia de 14 años en hemitiroidectomías sobre hemitiroidectomías previas o hemitiroidectomías contralaterales tras un resultado anatomopatológico de malignidad (carcinoma de tiroides) en la primera cirugía.

Material y método

Hemos incluido a 20 pacientes, todas ellas mujeres, con una media de edad de 45 años. Se analizan los síntomas clínicos iniciales, los resultados de las exploraciones complementarias, el diagnóstico anatomopatológico de la primera intervención y el resultado final tras la segunda cirugía.

Resultados

En nuestra serie la segunda hemitiroidectomía resultó positiva en un 40% y el porcentaje de hemitiroidectomías sobre hemitiroidectomías de 650 tiroides operados fue del 3%.

Conclusiones

Aunque hay diferentes opiniones en la literatura médica, nosotros creemos que ante el hallazgo casual de un carcinoma tiroideo se debe completar una tiroidectomía total, por su mayor seguridad oncológica y mejor control del paciente.
