摘要
BackgroundThe incidence of complications and risk factors for hypocalcemia after pediatric thyroid cancer surgery has not been clearly defined in the literature because most reports fail to distinguish between benign and malignant disease. The trend away from total thyroidectomy (TT) to thyroid lobectomy in low-risk disease means there is a need to clearly define the complication profile of malignant disease.MethodsAfter institutional review board (IRB) approval, a retrospective chart review was undertaken at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center for pediatric patients undergoing surgery for well-differentiated thyroid cancer from 1986 to 2021. Clinicopathologic characteristics and complications were evaluated. Multivariable analysis was performed to identify factors independently associated with postoperative hypocalcemia.ResultsThe study identified 307 pediatric patients with well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma (median follow-up period, 61 months). Of these patients, 69% underwent TT and 31% received a partial thyroidectomy. Among them, 40% had N0 disease, 28% had N1a disease, and 33% had N1b disease. Postoperatively, no patients experienced a neck hematoma, 1.6% had temporary unilateral vocal cord palsy (VCP), and 0.7% had permanent VCP due to recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) invasion. Temporary and permanent hypocalcemia occurred in respectively 32.6 % and 5.2 % of the patients. Multivariable analysis identified central neck dissection (CND) (odds ratio [OR] 3.30; p < 0.001) and N1 disease (OR 2.51; p = 0.036) as independent risk factors for temporary hypocalcemia and N stage (OR 3.64; p = 0.018) as a risk factor for permanent hypocalcemia.ConclusionPediatric thyroid cancer surgery results in low complication rates despite nodal metastases. Vocal cord paralysis is rare unless disease is found to be invading the RLN intraoperatively. Both N stage and CND are independent risk factors for hypocalcemia, helping to identify high-risk patients.
