Resumo

A Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Oncológica e a Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia de Cabeça e Pescoço elaboraram um consenso técnico sobre a codificação hierarquizada na cirurgia da tireoide, considerando o papel da Classificação Brasileira Hierarquizada de Procedimentos Médicos no enquadramento das indicações para cada cirurgia. O documento foi elaborado por um colegiado de 40 especialistas, reconhecidas lideranças de representatividade acadêmica e assistencial, provenientes de diferentes regiões do país, que avaliaram a pertinência dos códigos aplicáveis às principais cirurgias da tireoide. As deliberações foram realizadas por meio de votação eletrônica entre 37 participantes, sendo o consenso estabelecido quando se atingiu concordância ≥ 80%. Foram avaliados cenários de tireoidectomia total para doenças benignas, malignas e para ressecção de bócio mergulhante, incluindo códigos de exploração de nervos laríngeos, monitorização neurofisiológica, ligadura de ramos da carótida, biópsia e reimplante de paratireoide, linfadenectomia e esvaziamentos cervicais. Houve consenso favorável à pertinência dos seguintes códigos: exploração de nervos (83,3%), monitorização neurofisiológica (97,3%), biópsia e reimplante de paratireoide (89,2%), linfadenectomia cervical (89,2%) e esvaziamentos uni ou bilaterais (97,3% e 94,6%), ratificando a utilização destes códigos. Não houve consenso para inclusão do código de ligadura da carótida e/ou ramos nem para agregar um código de tireoidectomia parcial em casos de bócio mergulhante apenas unilateral, afastando a validação destes. O consenso fornece normatização clara e objetiva para a codificação hierarquizada nas cirurgias da tireoide, fundamentada em critérios técnico-científicos e éticos. Destina-se a orientar médicos assistentes e auditores, promovendo uniformidade, transparência e redução de conflitos na prática clínica e administrativa.

Abstract

The Brazilian Society of Surgical Oncology and the Brazilian Society of Head and Neck Surgery developed a technical consensus on hierarchical coding in thyroid surgery, considering the role of the Brazilian Hierarchical Classification of Medical Procedures in determining appropriate codes. A panel of 40 specialists - recognized academic and clinical leaders from across Brazil - assessed the applicability of procedure codes for common thyroid surgeries and prepared the current consensus. Deliberations were conducted via electronic voting among 37 participants, and consensus was defined as agreement by at least 80%. Scenarios included total thyroidectomy for benign and malignant disease and resection of substernal goiter. The analysis covered codes for laryngeal nerve exploration, neurophysiological monitoring, carotid artery branch ligation, biopsy, parathyroid reimplantation, lymphadenectomy, and neck dissection. Consensus supported the use of the following codes: nerve exploration (83.3%), neurophysiological monitoring (97.3%), biopsy and parathyroid reimplantation (89.2%), cervical lymphadenectomy (89.2%), and unilateral or bilateral neck dissections (97.3% and 94.6%, respectively). No consensus was reached on including carotid artery branch ligation or adding a partial thyroidectomy code for unilateral substernal goiter; therefore, these codes were not validated. The current consensus provides clear, objective guidance on hierarchical coding for thyroid surgery based on technical, scientific, and ethical criteria. It is intended to support attending physicians and auditors by promoting consistency, transparency, and reduced conflict in clinical and administrative settings.
