Abstract
Background: Postoperative bleeding is a potentially life-threatening complication following thyroidectomy, but the risk factors and timing remain insufficiently understood. The bleeding rate for endoscopic surgery, specifically video-assisted neck surgery (VANS), also remains unclear in Japan.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective case-control study of postoperative bleeding requiring readmission to the operating room.
Results: The overall postoperative bleeding rate was 1.85%. Multivariate analysis revealed that postoperative bleeding was independently associated with antithrombotic therapy (odds ratio 2.95; 95% confidence interval 1.15-7.59) and dialysis (odds ratio 6.53; 95% confidence interval 1.75-24.2). Among patients with postoperative bleeding, the complication developed within 6 h in 56.1% and within 24 h in 93.0%. The postoperative bleeding rate in endoscopic surgery was 1.6%. The most common site of bleeding was around the thyroid in conventional surgery and around the flap in endoscopic surgery.
Conclusions: Post-thyroidectomy bleeding is associated with antithrombotic therapy or dialysis. While the bleeding rate in endoscopic surgery is similar to that in conventional surgery, the bleeding site differs.
期刊介绍:
The international effort to understand, treat and control disease involve clinicians and researchers from many medical and biological science disciplines. The Journal of Nippon Medical School (JNMS) is the official journal of the Medical Association of Nippon Medical School and is dedicated to furthering international exchange of medical science experience and opinion. It provides an international forum for researchers in the fields of bascic and clinical medicine to introduce, discuss and exchange thier novel achievements in biomedical science and a platform for the worldwide dissemination and steering of biomedical knowledge for the benefit of human health and welfare. Properly reasoned discussions disciplined by appropriate references to existing bodies of knowledge or aimed at motivating the creation of such knowledge is the aim of the journal.
