Abstract

Results of surgical treatment of thyroid diseases are reported in a limited number of cases. Preoperative diagnostics as well as our own indication for surgical interventions are described. The course of preoperative therapy and the operative technique are described. Postoperative therapy with special reference to problems of recidivity is discussed. Histological classifications are analyzed with special reference to adenomas and carcinomas. Postoperative complications are discussed. Questionnaires are evaluated in view of compliance with recidivity prophylaxis, absence of complaints, changes of the voice following operation and patient's judgement of the operation scar.
