Résumé

Obesity is a well-known public health concern in Western World.

Accordingly, an elevated number of obese patients undergo thyroidectomy every year.

We aim to assess the impact of obesity on intraoperative and postoperative outcomes of patients who undergo thyroidectomy.

1228 patients underwent thyroidectomy at our department between January 2021 and September 2021.

We divided patients into two groups according to body mass index (BMI): non-obese (BMI < 30 kg/m^2) and obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m^2).

A propensity score approach was performed to create 1:1 matched pairs (matching according to age, gender, diagnosis, nodule size and type of operation).

After matching, the final population included 522 patients, equally divided between each group: non-obese group (Group A; n = 261) and obese group (Group B; n = 261).

The primary endpoint of the study was the overall rate of postoperative complications; secondary endpoints of the study were operative time, use of energy device and length of hospital stay.

The duration of hospital stay resulted longer in Group B (p = 0.002).

No statistically significant differences were documented in terms of operative time (p = 0.206), use of energy devices (p = 0.855) and surgical complications (p = 0.429).

Moreover, no statistically significant differences were documented considering each specific complication: transient and permanent hypocalcemia (p = 0.336; p = 0.813, respectively), transient and permanent recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy (p = 0.483; p = 0.523, respectively), hematoma (p = 0.779), bleeding (p = 0.178), wound infection (p = 0.313) and cheloid formation (p = 0.412).

Thyroidectomy can safely be performed in obese patients.

Outcomes resulted comparable; nonetheless, obesity correlates to longer hospital stay.
