Patients with thyroid goiters and compressive symptoms are treated with surgery.

The adequate extent of this surgery for these cases remains unclear. In the current study, we analyze the effect of surgery, total thyroidectomy versus hemithyroidectomy, on the resolution of various compressive symptoms.

This retrospective analysis utilized the TriNetX Research Network to recognize adults with thyroid goiters treated surgically.

International Classification of Diseases 10 (ICD10) was used to identify patients. Two groups were created based on surgical treatment, for either a hemithyroidectomy or total thyroidectomy.

The primary outcomes were compression symptoms, including dysphagia, choking/globus sensation, dyspnea, cough, and hoarseness/dysphonia.
