This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to provide an update on the role of TT versus NTT, STT, or DO in MNG concerning goiter recurrence, thyroid cancer incidence, and reported complications. We conducted a systematic literature search in Medline, EMBASE, and CENTRAL. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared TT to partial thyroidectomy (NTT, STT, or DO) in the management of multinodular goiter (MNG). The following outcomes, goiter recurrence, cancer incidence, and adverse events (hypoparathyroidism and recurrent laryngeal nerve injury), were evaluated. We used the risk ratio (RR) to represent the dichotomous outcome. Subgroup analysis was performed based on the different types of partial thyroidectomy (NTT, STT, and DO). A total of 7 RCTs that included 1909 individuals were deemed eligible. TT showed significantly better results compared to PT in terms of goiter recurrence (RR = 0.05, 95% CI 0.02 to 0.13, <i>P</i> = 0.001; <i>I</i> <sup><i>2</i></sup> = 0%), whereas it showed similar results compared to PT in terms of thyroid cancer incidence (RR = 1.09, 95% CI 0.76 to 1.57, <i>P</i> = 0.63; <i>I</i> <sup><i>2</i></sup> = 0%).

Preoperative determination of DOI based on imaging can aid in decision-making regarding neck dissection or determining the prognosis of the disease. This study aimed to correlate the DOI measured on contrast enhanced computed tomography (rDOI) with the pathologically measured DOI (pDOI). Retrospective data of patients with OSCC of the gingivobuccal complex from January 2023 to July 2023 was collected. Two radiologists independently measured the DOI on axial and coronal planes of CECT. The correlation between rDOI and pDOI was determined. Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis was performed to predict the pDOI using rDOI. ROC curve analysis was performed for the rDOI as measured on both axial and coronal sections in predicting the nodal metastasis. A total of 59 patients were included in the study. The mean rDOI was 11.06 mm on axial section and 10.9 mm on coronal section, and pDOI was 9.7 mm. Spearman's correlation coefficient between pDOI and rDOI measured on axial (rho = 0.61; <i>p</i> value = 0.001) and coronal (rho = 0.62; <i>p</i> value = 0.001) sections implied strong correlation which was statistically significant.
