Objective To analyze and explore the thyroid defunctionalization method for preoperative preparation of hyperthyroidism patients in endoscopic thyroid surgery. Methods The clinical data of 45 cases of hyperthyroidism treated with endoscopic surgery in this hospital from June 2009 to June 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. These patients were divided into study group (n=20) and control group (n=25) according to the preoperative preparation method, the study group was prepared with thyroid defunctionalization method, the control group was prepared with antithyroid drugs and iodine. The intraoperative blood loss, conversion to open surgery, and postoperative complications were compared in these two groups. Results The intraoperative blood loss and the operation time of the study group were significantly less than those of the control group﹝intraoperative blood loss: (120.32±50.26) mL versus (200.63±60.95) mL, P < 0.05; operation time: (120.43±40.56) min versus (180.76±50.92) min, P < 0.05﹞. There was no case of conversion to open surgery in the study group, there were three cases of conversion to open surgery in the control group. The incidence of postoperative complications of the study group was significantly lower than that of the control group﹝10% (2/20) versus 24% (6/25), P < 0.05﹞. Conclusion Thyroid defunctionalization method is more suitable as compared with the traditional method for the preoperative preparation of hyperthyroidism in endoscopic thyroid surgery.
