It is common practise to do a lobectomy on patients with isolated T1 lesions. According to the guidelines, lobectomy or total thyroidectomy can be utilised to treat T2 lesions, depending on pathological features, contralateral thyroid disease, and patient concerns. In order to permit radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment, a total thyroidectomy is required whenever macroscopic nodal illness is present. Total thyroidectomy has several benefits, including the potential for adjuvant radioactive iodine (RAI) ablation, enhanced specificity in thyroglobulin testing for cancer surveillance, and the ability to perform whole-body nuclear medicine scanning. There are drawbacks, such as the requirement for permanent thyroid replacement and the possibility of greater surgical risk.
