COVİD-19 PANDEMİSİNDE TİROİD CERRAHİSİNİN DOĞRU PLANLAMASI: TEK MERKEZ DENEYİMİ

Amaç: SARS-CoV-2 virüsünün neden olduğu Covid-19 salgını tüm dünyayı etkiledi. Bu çalışma, Türkiye'de Covid-19 vakasının ilk görüldüğü 11 Mart tarihi itibariyle çeşitli tiroid hastalıkları nedeniyle ameliyat olan hastalarımızın verilerini sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntem: 11.03.2020-31.12.2020 tarihleri arasında tiroid cerrahisi geçiren hastalar retrospektif olarak incelendi. Veriler, geçen yılın aynı döneminde (GYAD) tiroid cerrahisi geçiren hastaların verileriyle karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Toplam 47 hasta dahil edildi. GYAD'de toplam 79 hasta ameliyat edilmişti ve %40.5'lik bir azalma mevcuttu. Hastaların 33'ü (%70.2) diferansiye tiroid kanseri nedeniyle ameliyat edildi. Geçen yıl bu oran %41,8 idi ve aralarındaki orantısal fark anlamlıdır (p=0,003). Covid-19 döneminde ameliyat edilen 47 hastanın sadece 1'inde (%2,1) Covid-19 pozitifliği gelişti. Sonuç: Pandeminin başlangıcında yayınlanan kılavuzlar, geçici bir çözüm olarak acil durumlar dışındaki ameliyatların ertelenmesini önermektedir. Bu nedenle gelecekte pandemi ile mücadelede pandemi dışı hastaneler önceden belirlenmelidir.

PROPER PLANNING OF THYROID SURGERY IN COVID-19 PANDEMIC: A SINGLE CENTER EXPERIENCE

Objective: The Covid-19 outbreak caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus affected the whole world. This study aims to present the data of our patients who were operated on for various thyroid diseases as of March 11, when the Covid-19 case was first seen in Turkey. Material and Methods: Patients who undergoing thyroid surgery between 11.03.2020 and 31.12.2020 were analyzed retrospectively. The data were compared with those of patients who underwent thyroid surgery during the same period last year (DSPLY). Results: A total of 47 patients were included. A total of 79 patients were operated on in DSPLY and there was a 40.5% reduction. Thirty-three (70.2%) of the patients were operated for differentiated thyroid cancer. Last year, this rate was 41.8%, and the proportional difference between them is significant (p = 0.003). Covid-19 positivity developed on in only 1 (2.1%) of 47 patients who were operated during the Covid-19 period. Conclusions: Guidelines published at the beginning of the pandemic suggest postponing surgeries other than emergency conditions as a temporary solution. Therefore, in the fight against the pandemic in the future, non-pandemic hospitals should be predetermined.
