Background: Thyroid disorders are common surgical pathology in our part of world. Most commonly encountered complication after thyroid surgery are hypocalcaemia, hoarseness of voice, wound infection, seroma formation and thoracic duct injuries secondary to modifi ed neck dissections. The aim of this study is to share the experience of thyroid surgery at a tertiary care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan with rest of the world. Methodology: The cross sectional descriptive study was conducted in Endocrine unit of Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, Karachi, Pakistan from April 2009 till April 2019. About 2094 cases operated which includes multinodular goiter, malignant goiter, solitary thyroid nodules, recurrent goiter and goiter with retrosternal extension. Patients managed medically or not fi t for surgery or refused to surgery are not included in this study. Descriptive statistics were used to present the data. Results: Among 2094 cases 782 (37.3%) were diagnosed as MNG, 753 (35.9%) were malignant goiter, 487 (23.2%) were solitary thyroid nodules while 72 (3.43%) presented as recurrent goiter. Most common complication reported was transient hypocalcaemia which was reported in 89 (11.3%) patients who underwent thyroidectomy for MNG, 41 (5.4%) in patients with thyroidectomy for malignant goiter, 11 (2.3%) open lobectomy, 9 (12.5%) in thyroidectomy for recurrent goiter while only 1 (0.12%) reported permanent hypoparathyroidism who underwent surgery for MNG. Transient hoarseness was reported 10 (1.27%) with MNG and 14 (1.85%) in patients with malignancy proven goiter, while 2 (0.42%) in open lobectomy, 2 (13.3%) in endoscopic lobectomy and 1 (1.38%) in recurrent goiter. Permanent hoarseness was noted in only 1 (0.2%) who underwent completion thyroidectomy. Wound infection was reported in 10 (1.27%) with MNG, 18 (2.39%) with malignancy and 3 (0.63%) in open lobectomies. Seroma formation was associated with 7 (1.45%) in MNG, 13 in malignancy (1.7%), 11 (2.3%) open lobectomies, 2 (13.3%) in endoscopic lobectomies and 3 (4.1%) in recurrent goiters. Thoracic duct injury was reported in 7 (0.94%) left sided MRNDs. A total of 3 (0.14%) deaths were reported after surgery. Conclusion: Thyroid surgery is the treatment of choice for benign or malignant goiters where medical therapy is ineffective and not practical. Proper preoperative preparations, better understanding of anatomy, modifi cation of surgical techniques, use of energy devices and intraoperative nerve monitoring and careful follow-up has lead to major decline in postoperative complications and better surgical results with more detail understanding of thyroid surgery.
