Abstract

The effectiveness and complications of surgery and radioactive iodine therapy, which have been two treatment modalities in Basedow-Graves disease were investigated retrospectively by comparing 24 patients who were performed thyroidectomy and 15 patients who received radioactive iodine therapy for Basedow-Graves disease between January 2004 and July 2005. Of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in the surgery group, total thyroidectomy was performed in 11 patients. I131 treatment with a mean dose of 15.67±5.30 mCi (median 15.00) was administered in the radioactive iodine therapy group. The mean period of reaching euthyroid state after surgery was 2.33±0.97 months, whereas it was 4.28±1.54 months in the radioactive iodine therapy group (p<0.05). There was not a statistically significant difference between the two groups with respect to hypothyroidism. Radioactive iodine treatment is currently the most preferred method in the treatment of Basedow-Graves disease because of its ease of administration and cost, however it cannot be used in pregnancy and lactation, and use of it in children is under debate. Surgery is the best treatment modality in selected patients with minimal complications and recurrence risk.

Özet

Basedow-Graves hastalığının tedavi modalitelerinden olan cerrahi ve radyoaktif iyod tedavisinin etkinlikleri ve komplikasyonları, Ocak 2004 ile Temmuz 2005 tarihleri arasında Basedow-Graves hastalığı tanısı ile tiroidektomi ameliyatı yapılan 24 hasta ile radyoaktif iyod tedavisi alan 15 hasta retrospektif olarak karşılaştırılarak araştırılmıştır. Cerrahi tedavi grubunda en çok yapılan ameliyat total tiroidektomi olmuştur (11 hasta). Radyoaktif iyod tedavi grubunda ise hastalara ortalama 15.67±5.30 mCi (ortanca 15.00) dozunda I131 uygulanmıştır. Cerrahi tedavi grubunda ameliyat sonrası ötiroid hale geliş süresi ortalama 2.33±0.97 ay olurken, radyoaktif iyod tedavi grubunda bu süre ortalama 4.28±1.54 ay olarak gerçekleşmiştir (p<0.05). Hipotiroidizm açısından her iki grup arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık tespit edilmemiştir. Radyoaktif iyod tedavisi uygulama kolaylığı ve maliyet düşüklüğü nedeniyle bugün Basedow-Graves hastalığının tedavisinde en çok tercih edilen tedavi şeklidir, fakat gebelik ve laktasyonda kullanılamaz ve çocuklarda kullanımı tartışmalıdır. Cerrahi tedavi seçilmiş vakalarda en iyi tedavi seçeneği olup, komplikasyon ve rekürrens riski az olan bir tedavidir.
