Ambulatory thyroidectomy: recommendations from the Association Francophone de Chirurgie Endocrinienne (AFCE). Investigating current practices.
TL;DR: Questions raised by the proposal of ambulatory thyroidectomy are answered and recommendations are proposed based on a review of the literature, an inquiry sent out to members of the AFCE, and an in-depth research of the medicolegal risks involved.

[Hypoparathyroidism after surgery on thyroid cancer: is there a delayed chance for recovery after a prolonged period of substitutive therapy?].
Beata Jurecka-Lubieniecka,Ewa Paliczka,Agnieszka Czarniecka,Michal Jarzab,Daria Handkiewicz,Kornelia Hasse-Lazar,Aleksandra Kukulska +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that reevaluation of hypoparathyroidism post total thyreoidectomy is necessary, as delayed recover of parathyroid dysfunction is a frequent phenomenon.

Quality of life and patient satisfaction in outpatient thyroid surgery.
Luca Cozzaglio,Roberta Monzani,Andrea Zuccarelli,Ferdinando Carlo Maria Cananzi,Federico Sicoli,Laura Ruspi,Vittorio Quagliuolo +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore how early discharge after thyroidectomy affects patients' quality of life (QoL) and satisfaction, and assess postoperative QoL and satisfaction retrospectively by giving each patient a self-report questionnaire specifically created in a center for OTS and derived from the post-discharge surgical recovery (PSR) scale to assess physical and mental well-being.

Randomized study on oral administration of calcitriol to prevent symptomatic hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy
Francesco Tartaglia,Alessandro Giuliani,Monica Sgueglia,Fausto Biancari,Tatu Juvonen,Francesco Paolo Campana +5 more
TL;DR: Oral administration of 1 microg of calcitriol twice per day and 500 mg of calcium salts 3 times per day after total thyroidectomy significantly decreases the risk of severe postoperative hypocalcemia.

Outpatient thyroidectomy: a feasibility study.
TL;DR: In a group of 48 highly selected patients, thyroid surgery was performed on an outpatient basis and was found to be a safe, cost-effective procedure, convenient for both the patient and the surgeon.

Complications of thyroid surgery
TL;DR: If surgery is to continue to play a dominant role in the treatment of thyroid disease, the complications of this form of treatment must be less than those of other equally effective forms of treatment.

"Same-day" thyroid surgery: an analysis of safety, cost savings, and outcome.
TL;DR: Same-day thyroid surgery is a safe and costeffective approach for patients with nodular thyroid disease and was associated with a 32 per cent and a 47 to 56 per cent reduction in cost for unilateral and bilateral thyroidectomy, respectively.
Surgical Management of Papillary and Follicular Carcinoma of the Thyroid
TL;DR: The clinical outcome in 155 patients with papillary or follicular carcinoma of the thyroid gland operated on over a 25-year period demonstrated no difference in survival rates or incidence of recurrent tumor between those treated by total thyroidectomy and those undergoing less thantotal thyroidectomy.
Evaluation of total/near-total thyroidectomy in a short-stay hospitalization: safe and cost-effective.
TL;DR: Serial serum calcium determinations used to construct a three-point calcium curve at 20 hours after operation can reliably and safely identify patients at risk to have clinically significant hypocalcemia.
