Thyroid surgery in patients aged over 80 years.

Acta chirurgica Belgica, 1994
In the past 5 years (1987-1991), we admitted for thyroid surgery 12 patients older than 80 years. Indications for surgery were represented by goiter causing tracheal compression and severe dyspnoea in 6 cases, and by preoperative cytological report of malignancy in the other 6 cases. The dyspnoea represented an absolute surgical indication.
