Despite a shift toward performing more initial lobectomies for thyroid cancer following the release of the 2015 ATA guidelines, the rate of late reoperations remained unchanged.
Although the 2015 American Thyroid Association guidelines led to an increase in thyroid lobectomies being performed, it did not result in high rates of early or late reoperation.This study examined both early and late reoperations in patients from the Vizient Clinical Data Base who underwent thyroid lobectomy or total thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer before or after the change in the ATA guidelines.
The proportion of patients receiving lobectomy as the initial surgery vs total thyroidectomy increased from 19.4% in 2013 to 42.6% in 2021.Before and after the change in the ATA guidelines, the overall rate of reoperation in the lobectomy cohort decreased from 37.3% to 17.1%, respectively, whereas the rate in the total thyroidectomy cohort increased from 2.6% to 3.3%, respectively.After the introduction of the 2015 ATA guidelines, the rate of early reoperations decreased from 34.8% to 14.
