Abstract:
In order to assess the main complications following surgical treatment of thyroid neoplasms, a prospective-historical study was made in 145 patients operated between 1985 and 1997. Permanent hypocalcemia was encountered in 3.3% of our cases, and unilateral nerve injury in 2.2%, with 0.7% of fatal complications. The remain complications evaluated include: serohematoma, postoperative bleeding, and wound infection. To sum up, surgery of the thyroid neoplasms is a relatively safety procedure. The incidence of complications is similar to the surgical treatment of the remainder thyroid diseases.
