Surgical Trends in Treatment of Thyroid Nodules, Thyroid Cancer, and Parathyroid Disease

This often requires a high-quality, preoperative imaging evaluation that provides tumor localization knowledge of relevant anatomical considerations. In this chapter modalities are discussed regards to benign malignant disease. Indications for lobectomy, total thyroidectomy, neck dissection, parathyroidectomy, standard cervical exploration (SCE) discussed.
