This review outlines surgical techniques and strategies to minimize complications such as bleeding and hypoparathyroidism during thyroid surgery.
May support prioritizing experienced surgeons to minimize complications; leaves open prospective validation of thresholds.
The main goal of thyroid cancer treatment is to completely remove the lesion and minimize recurrence.However, given the very favorable prognosis and the quality of life following the extended lifespan after surgery, completing the surgery without complications is just as important as the complete removal of the cancer.Preventing surgical complications is very important, and the experience of the thyroid surgeon is the most critical factor.Therefore, overcoming the occurrence of complications is a necessary step that a novice must take to become a competent thyroid surgeon.With this background in mind, the author believes that 'thyroid surgery is a battle with the laryngeal nerves, parathyroid, and blood vessels.'This review aims to describe methods to minimize postoperative bleeding and hypoparathyroidism based on the author's experience.
