It is not clear if patients with hypothyroidism have higher chances of complications after bariatric surgery. This study was done to find out the risks of bariatric surgery in patients with hypothyroidism.

However, patients carrying biallelic TG mutation, when untreated, are frankly hypothyroid unless and until they develop a massive goiter. To date, TG is the only proven endogenous precursor protein for thyroid hormone synthesis in vertebrates.

Prior guidelines indicate that completion thyroidectomy is considered in up to 20% of patients with a lobectomy and cancer >2 and ≤4 cm. This paper summarizes the changes in recommendations for completion thyroidectomy in the 2025 ATA differentiated thyroid cancer guidelines.

They identified 425 patients who met study criteria. The authors then identified which of these patients were prescribed levothyroxine after surgery.

]]> From Clinical Thyroidology® for the Public: When all of the thyroid is removed by surgery, patients will require a thyroid pill after surgery. When only part of the thyroid gland is removed during surgery (partial thyroidectomy or thyroid lobectomy), the thyroid tissue left behind might produce enough thyroid hormone to meet the body’s needs. The goal of this study was to develop a model to help predict which people will need to take a thyroid hormone pill after partial thyroidectomy. Read More…
