Comparative Study[Postoperative complications in total thyroidectomy for Graves disease: comparison with multinodular benign goiter surgery].
To study and compare postoperative complications of total thyroidectomy for Graves disease and multinodular benign goiters. ⋯ Total thyroidectomy in the surgical management of Graves disease, after a cautious medical preoperative preparation, appears to be a safe technique. Total thyroidectomy must be performed instead of subtotal thyroidectomy in order to avoid recurrences.
