Abstract

Introduction: papillary thyroid cancer is on the rise and surgical treatment is complex. Prophylactic central neck dissection for papillary thyroid cancer patients is controversial because of the possibility of higher risk of transient complications and the benefits of the surgery are low. As a result, the surgery is performed based of the risk factors of the patient and the experience of the surgeon.
Objective: to determine the levels of calcium and parathyroid hormone post-surgery in adult male and female patients with suspected risk of papillary thyroid cancer, to who prophylactic central drainage, was and was not performed.
Subjects and methods: this is an epidemiological, observational, analytic, cross-sectional, of cohorts. The research will be done on all patients suspected of cytological papillary thyroid cancer in Hospital Eugenio Espejo, and who underwent total thyroidectomy with and without prophylactic central drainage. Calcium and parathyroid hormone levels will be checked 24 hours post-surgery. The quantitative variables will be reported as averages and the qualitative variables as absolute and relative data. t-Student test was used to compare qualitative data. Qualitative data was compared using independent test with scales of x2 and the Fisher exact test. A logistic regression analysis was done and reported as Adjusted Odds ratios (AOR).
Results: calcium level on the group with central drainage had significant lower levels compare to the group without central drainage, the difference was of -0.07 mmol/L (IC 95 %: -0.036, -0.097 mmol/L; p<0.0001). The patients with central drainage had significantly lower levels of parathyroid hormone (levels lower than 10pg/ml) up to 53.9%; while the group without central drainage only had 11.1% %(IC 95%: 29.5, 56.2%; p < 0.0001).
Conclusion: though the study the thyroidectomy with prophylactic central drainage group had a significant rate of hypocalcemia and hypoparathyroidism. These patients had symptoms of hypocalcemia post-surgery, which prolong their hospital stay.
