Key Points

  • To evaluate the risk of complications associated with thyroidectomy in patients with Graves' disease.
  • Analyzed complication rates in patients undergoing thyroidectomy for Graves' disease.
  • Focused on procedures performed by high-volume surgeons.
  • Complications were found to be greater in patients with Graves' disease.
  • Overall occurrence rates of complications were low.

Abstract

Complications were greater in patients with Graves' disease, however occurrence rates were low. Based on our findings, it can be stated that thyroidectomy in patients with Graves' disease, even for high-volume surgeons, represents a more challenging procedure, but it can nevertheless be considered a valid therapeutic option.
