Appraisal on the indications, subtypes, and complications of surgically treated thyroid diseases for thyroidologists: A systematic review and meta-analysis in thyroidology

Year: 2026

Type: review

Abstract: We address this letter to offer a brief, albeit essential, critique upon the recent systematic review and meta-analysis submitted by Getachew et al. [1], concerning the indications, sub-types, and attendant sequelae following surgical intervention for thyroid pathologies within the low and middle-income African nations, published in volume 27, Surgery Open Science. The scholarly diligence exhibited in collating data hitherto dispersed merits recognition, particularly as it illuminates a pooled prevalence of postoperative complications which doth stand notably higher when compared with established international figures in thyroidology [2–8].
