Abstract

Abstract


One hundred and eleven patients were operated for various types of goitre between December, 1985 to June, 1988. These were evaluated to assess the morbidity and mortality associated with thyroid operations. A mortality of 0.9% was noted, owing to advanced age and fatal laryngeal oedema. Recurrent laryngeal nerve damage was seen in one (0.90%) cases Transient Parathyroid insufficiency appeared in 8.10% cases while the permanent damage occurred in one (0.9%) case only. Wound complications, including haematoma formation were noted in 14.40% cases. This study indicates that the thyroid surgery can be performed with acceptable morbidity and mortality, under the prevailing circumstances
