Abstract There is continuous evolution in surgical management of thyroid diseases , from highly morbid to highly sophisticated surgery with minimal or even no morbidity since the first thyroidectomy introduced by Theodore Kocher 1880 . The aim of the surgical treatment in benign thyroid disease is to treat with the less complications rate and decrease recurrence rate nowadays there is uprising rate for total excision instead of subtotal excision in benign thyroid disease the rates of complications associated with total extracapsular thyroidectomy are 0.9% for recurrent nerve palsy 0.9% for hypocalcemia, and 0.6% for secondary hemorrhage. New technique evolved to minimize this complications this technique is called intracapsular total thyroidectomy and its idea is to keep the RLN away from the the dissection of the thyrios tissue and also the parathyroid gland . In our study we aim to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the new intracapsular technique in total thyroidectomy to treat benign thyroid diseases. This study was carried out on 58 patients aged from 58 patients with nonmalignant thyroid disease underwent surgical treatment. they all underwent intracapsular total thyroidectomy . the patients mean age was 36.39±9.8 years range from (18-55 ) years. Twenty patients were males (34.48%) males and thirty eight were females (65.52). from the 58 patients twenty eight patients were diagnosed with simple multinodular goiter twelve were primary toxic goiter and eighteen patients were diagnosed with secondary toxic goiter . in fifty eight patients was no postoperative recurrent laryngeal nerve injury found (0%) which is statitiscally significant . no postoperative hypocalcaemia manifestations which is statistically significant .we found no postoperative SLN injury (low-pitched voice ) found 3 (5 %) patients wound was complicated with seroma .operative blood loss mean was 110±50 ml and hospital stay was 1.01 ± .5 day. |
