Objective: The aim of this study was to consider levels of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1 and TNFa after thyroid surgery. Material and Methods: A total of 200 patients who underwent total thyroidectomy enrolled in this study. Drain fluid samples were taken. IL-1 and TNFa results and their relationship with other factors were analyzed. Results: There was a positive correlation between IL-1 and hyperthyroidism (rs=0.614, p<0.001), operative time (rs=0.770, p<0.001), and excised thyroid volume (rs=0.829, p<0.001). Moreover, there was a positive correlation between TNFa and hyperthyroidism (rs=0.430, p<0.001), operative time (rs=0.392, p<0.001), and excised thyroid volume (r s=0.398, p<0.001). Conclusion: The results of this study showed us that the parameters related to increased proinflammatory cytokine levels after thyroid surgery were hyperthyroidism, operative time, and excised thyroid volume, but this increase did not show us any clinical outcomes related to these parameters. ©Copyright 2014 by Turkish Surgical Association.
