Study of the Effect of Preoperative Dexamethasone before Total Thyroidectomy on Postoperative Nausea, Vomiting, Pain and Voice Dysfunction

ABSTRACT

The study was conducted in Ain Shams University Hospitals. It was a prospective randomized comparative study. Based on the results and data compared between the two groups preoperative dose of dexamethasone is recommended prior to total thyroidectomy operations, due to its beneficial effect in diminishing probability of occurrence of postoperative voice changes, pain and dyspepsia.

Key words:Thyroid, Dexamethasone, cartilage, trachea, chemotherapy.
