Brief Summary

Quality of life (QoL) refers to perceived well-being, and encompasses the evaluation of physical health, and physical, social, and psychological functioning . The assessment of quality of life (QOL) post-thyroidectomy has gained significant attention in the medical community. Multiple studies have delved into the long-term consequences of thyroidectomy, aiming to evaluate the impact on patients' overall well-being and functional status. By examining numerous aspects, such as the physical, psychological, and social dimensions of QOL, researchers have provided valuable insights into the outcomes of thyroidectomy, hence contributing to improving patient care and enhancing their postoperative experiences.
