(1) Here, pathology results of hemithyroidectomy specimens for CTx-HTx, postoperative pathology results of the FNAC performed side for TTx and postoperative pathology result of the side that had FNAC before the first surgery for RTx-TTx are meant.
(2) Here, pathology results of complementary thyroidectomy specimen for CTx-HTx, postoperative pathology result of the contralateral lobe for TTx and pathology results after revision surgery for RTx-TTx are meant.
OR – odds ratio; CI – confidence interval; CTx-HTx – the patients who had completion thyroidectomy performed after hemithyroidectomy; TTx – the patients with total thyroidectomy without revision surgery; RTx-TTx – the patients with revision thyroidectomy after total thyroidectomy.
