Resumo
Objetivo: A tireoidectomia, remoção parcial ou total da glândula tireoide, é uma cirurgia comumente realizada para diversas doenças da tireoide. Recentemente, tem-se observado uma tendência pelo uso de tireoidectomias parciais, devido às taxas de complicações mais baixas e resultados terapêuticos adequados.
Objetivo: Avaliar o impacto da tireoidectomia parcial e total na qualidade de vida.
Métodos: O questionário ThyPRO-39 foi utilizado para avaliar os resultados específicos de qualidade de vida relacionados à tireoide em pacientes que se submeteram a diferentes abordagens de tireoidectomia.
Resultados: As complicações pós-operatórias foram paralisia unilateral transitória do nervo recorrente (6,5%) e hipoparatireoidismo transitório (22,4%). Os resultados de qualidade de vida após a tireoidectomia foram favoráveis. A extensão da tireoidectomia não apresentou diferença estatística (p = 0,982). Escores significativamente mais baixos foram associados ao gênero feminino e ao esvaziamento cervical.
Conclusão: Os escores de qualidade de vida foram elevados, com escores mais baixos entre as mulheres e na presença de esvaziamento cervical.
