摘要目的 探讨甲状腺癌患者行甲状腺全切除手术的安全性.方法 回顾性分析1986年1月至2006年12月因甲状腺癌行甲状腺全切除(全切组)以及次全或近全切除术(双叶手术组)的患者资料,比较两组间喉返神经损伤和继发性甲状旁腺功能低下的发生率.结果 双叶切除手术组433例:13例发生暂时性单侧喉返神经损伤,5例发生永久性单侧喉返神经损伤;11例发生暂时性甲状旁腺功能低下,无永久性甲状旁腺功能下病例.甲状腺全切手术组共70例:4例发生暂时性单侧喉返神经损伤(P>0.05),1例发生永久性单侧喉返神经损伤(P>0.05);7例发生暂时性甲状旁腺功能低下(P<0.01),2例永久性甲状旁腺功能低下(P<0.05).结论 甲状腺全切除术并不增加喉返神经损伤的概率,但手术后甲状旁腺功能低下发生率增加,因此应该有选择的施行甲状腺全切除手术.

abstractsObjective To explore the safety of total thyroidectomy surgery on patients with thyroid carcinoma. Methods From Jan 1986 to Dee 2006, clinical data of patients who underwent total thyroidectomy (total thyroidectomy group) and sub-total or near-total thyroidectomy surgery (control group) for thyroid carcinoma were retrospectively analyzed to identify the incidences of complications, recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis (RNLP) and secondary hypoparathyroidism in the two groups. Results In the control group there were 433 thyroid carcinoma patients who underwent sub-total or near-total thyroidectomy. Transient unilateral RLNP(13 eases), permanent unilateral RLNP(5 eases), transient hypoparathyroidism (11 cases) was diagnosed. There was no permanent hypoparathyroidism in this group. In the 70 cases of thyroid carcinoma patients receiving total thyroidectomy, there were 4 eases suffering from transient unilateral RLNP, one case from permanent unilateral RLNP (P > 0.05), and there were 7 eases from transient hopyparathyroidim (P < 0.01), 2 eases from permanent hypoparathyroidism (P < 0.05). Conclusion The incidence of RLNP after total thyroidectomy was not higher than that after subtotal or near-total thyroideetomy. Postoperative hypocalcaemia was the most common postoperative complication of total thyroidectomy. It is our belief that total thyroidectomy should be performed in selected patients.
