Purpose: Traditionally, patients with poorly controlled Graves’ disease (GD) requiring thyroidectomy would require preoperative admission to control their thyroid function. COVID-19 led to the development and implementation of an outpatient-based protocol for patients unable to tolerate thionamides and/or uncontrolled relapsed disease. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of the outpatient protocol followed by thyroidectomy.
