Feasibility of thyroid surgery without making use of drains and in one day hospital stay is verified in a selected series of 43 patients (13,6% of thyroidectomies performed in a year). Data suggest that lobectomies are the procedures that can be safely carried out with this aim, while total and subtotal thyroidectomies need longer observation because of possible hypocalcemic manifestations or localized serum-haematic collections in the thyroid bed. With an adequate organization, all the thyroid surgical procedures can be early discharged but after one day stay, because of general anesthesia, and only in highly selected cases.

Abstract

Feasibility of thyroid surgery without making use of drains and in one day hospital stay is verified in a selected series of 43 patients (13,6% of thyroidectomies performed in a year). Data suggest that lobectomies are the procedures that can be safely carried out with this aim, while total and subtotal thyroidectomies need longer observation because of possible hypocalcemic manifestations or localized serum-haematic collections in the thyroid bed. With an adequate organization, all the thyroid surgical procedures can be early discharged but after one day stay, because of general anesthesia, and only in highly selected cases.
