Abstract
The authors report their experience of the application of microsurgical techniques in total and subtotal thyroidectomy operations from January 1984-January 1997. Four hundred and eighty-six patients with thyroid diseases were operated upon with both traditional and microsurgical techniques. The comparison of results shows that microsurgical skills are effective in reducing the dangers and important complications in both laryngeal nerves and parathyroids.
