| Abstract: |
Objective: To study the surgical and biochemical outcomes in nerve‐monitored reoperation or revision surgery for recurrent thyroid cancers. Study Design: 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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
