✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Objectives/Hypothesis:

To report surgical outcomes in a large series of patients with a history of thyroid cancer who underwent secondary central compartment surgery (SCCS).

Study Design:

Retrospective chart review.

Methods:

The records of 44 patients who underwent 47 secondary central compartment surgeries for thyroid cancer were reviewed.

Results:

Metastatic nodal disease was found in 59.6% (28) central neck compartments. Remnant thyroid tissue was removed from 17 necks. The rate of transient and permanent vocal cord paralysis per SCCS was 2.1% and 6.4%, respectively. Transient and permanent hypoparathyroidism occurred in 11.9% and 9.5% of cases, respectively.

Conclusions:

SCCS is feasible but does carry some risk. The long‐term implications of early intervention in this setting are still largely unknown and will warrant future research. Laryngoscope, 2009
