Methods of thyroidectomy: principles and indications
https://doi.org/10.14341/serg12741
Abstract
This lecture presents 3 methods of thyroidectomy; the most common and widely used thyroidectomy method, i.e. the extrafascial thyroidectomy method (1), the historical subcapsular thyroidectomy method (2) and the combined extrafascial and subfascial thyroidectomy methods (3). Each of these methods is used in everyday practice and have their own indications for use. The methods are presented with a detailed description of the steps. In the description of the technique of the operation, we determined the stages. The presented three methods of thyroidectomy are a systematization of the existing widely used surgical methods of operation for various diseases of the thyroid gland. In our opinion, this systematic step-by-step approach to thyroidectomy, taking into account the characteristics of thyroid pathology, can improve the standards of treatment, surgical outcomes and training of surgeons in the field of thyroid surgery.
