Intervention name:
Hemithyroidectoy
Description:
Hemithyroidectomy it is a surgical procedure where half of the thyroid gland is operated.
Summary:
Nodules in the thyroid gland are common. Patients discover these lumps either because of
their visible size increase or because of local discomforts such as difficulty
swallowing, difficulty breathing or voice changes. The thyroid gland is in close
connection with the esophagus, trachea and the vocal nerve. Thus, a lump in the thyroid
gland can cause pressure symptoms from these organs. In the event of such complaints,
patients are referred for investigation. If it turns out that the patient has a lump in
the thyroid gland ("goiter"), further investigation is carried out with an ultrasound
examination and sampling with a needle from the lump (puncture).
At present, most thyroid nodules are examined cytologically, ie the thyroid nodules are
punctured with a thin needle and the cells that are obtained are analyzed by a
cytologist. The material is graded according to Bethesda classification. Higher grading
is associated with a higher risk that the tuber is malignant. Lower grading is associated
with a lower probability that the tuber can be malignant. If these patients are operated
on, it is usually with the hope that their local ailments improve.
We want to investigate which patients who have a lump in the thyroid gland and experience
pressure problems experience an improvement after a thyroid operation.
