Minimal Invasive Resection of Large Retrosternal Thyroid Goiter
Published on: September 20, 2024
All our thyroid patients are seen jointly by a specialist in nuclear medicine and by an endocrinologist. From 1972 to 1976 we operated on 564 patients; 433 were benign goitres (152 of them hyperthyroid) and 131 were malignant thyroid tumors. Operations for recurrent benign goitre were performed on 61 patients. The frequency of unilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis following a first operation (checked by laryngoscopy) was 4,4%. The surgical measures for avoiding this complication are discussed.
