Study Summary

This study proposes to randomize patients about to undergo surgery for their autoimmune, inflammatory thyroid disease, and determine if a short course of corticosteroids decreases the inflammation of the gland and makes surgery less difficult.

Primary Outcome

This scale is completed by the surgeon to assess the difficulty of a thyroid operation, and includes 4 parameters (vascularity, friability, mobility/fibrosis, and gland size). The scale ranges from 4 points (best outcome) - 20 points (worst outcome). Higher scores indicate a more difficult operation.
