Résumé
Total thyroidectomy (TT) or near-TT (NTT) is often recommended over medical management for the treatment of Graves' disease (GD). We assess the safety within surgical subspecialties at our institution for TT/NTT in GD patients. A retrospective review of patients undergoing TT/NTT for GD was performed from 2004 to 2016. Patient factors, thyroid size, surgeon subspecialty, and intraoperative/postoperative outcomes were all reviewed. Multivariate analyses were used to determine risk factors for complications. A total of 383 patients underwent TT/NTT. Two hundred thirty-three patients underwent TT/NTT by otolaryngology (n = 233, 60.8%), surgical oncology (n = 140, 36.6%), general surgery (n = 8, 2.1%), and unknown (n = 2, 0.5%). On multivariate analysis, surgical duration was longer for males (
