ABSTRACT:

The aim of the study to find out the incidence and risk factors of complications in patients submitted to thyroidectomy in a cancer hospital for this purpose a retrospective study was conducted and reviewed complications of 1020 patients (1990-2000) underwent to thyroidectomy. And the results come out that transient hypocalcemia in 134 (13.1%) patients was the main postoperative complications as compared to permanent hypocalcemia in 26 (2.5%) patients, transient vocal cord palsy in 14 (1.4%) patients, and permanent vocal cord palsy in 4 (0.4%) patients. we conclude that thyroidectomy, whether or not associated with neck dissection, is an operation that has low morbidity with hypocalcemia as the most important postoperative complication. Paratracheal lymph node dissection was the most significant predictor of hypocalcemia in patients who underwent total thyroidectomy.
