I met this his 54 year old female in the airport in Nigeria. I noticed she had a sizeable goiter and told her I could remove it next trip. She has had ir for 22 years and was anxious to find someone willing to do the surgery. She came this trip. The goiter was truly huge but we removed it without too much difficulty (but plenty of sceaming). Her nerves are intact. We packed the wound since the hole was so large (it extended into the mediastinum. As usual, thrombin and gelatin were used to control oozing. Closure in 2 days. Its always better to pack than worry about a life threatening hematoma.

Goiters used to be a common problem in the US, until iodine was added to table salt in the 1920's. It's an essential nutrient for healthy thyroids.

Goiters are relatively common. They affect about 5% of people in the United States. Anyone can have a goiter, but it’s about four times more likely to develop in people assigned female at birth compared to people assigned male at birth. Your risk of developing goiter also increases as you age. They’re more common after age 40.

People who have any of the following conditions may also be more likely to develop goiter: Obesity, Insulin resistance or Metabolic syndrome.

You’re also at greater risk for developing goiter if your head and neck have been exposed to radiation for medical treatments and/or if you have a family history of thyroid disease.

My mom had her thyroid removed due to cancer a long time ago. It took years to find the right balance of hormones to take before she felt normal again.
