Surgical Clinics of North America, 1975
For several decades following the turn of the century, most thyroid surgery was necessary because of endemic goiter and Grave's disease. A lack of safe anesthesia and an inability to control hyperthyroidism preoperatively necessitated a rapid operating technique. This often meant blind resection of the bulbous anterior and lateral portions of the gland,

POST-THYROIDECTOMY THYROTOXICOSIS
The Lancet, 197894 patients with postoperative recurrent hyperthyroidism were evaluated for duration of remission, goitre size, and response to radio-iodine (131I). 6 patients required 131I therapy within twelve months of operation--5 had large remnants because of inadequate surgery. 57% of patients relapsed within 5 years, but 16% relapsed after 20 years and 8% after

Thyroidectomy is the most frequent intervention in endocrine surgery. When performed in specialized centers, the operation is safe with low morbidity and a virtually 0% mortality. Complications of thyroid surgery are directly correlated to the extent of resection and inversely proportional to the experience of the operating surgeon.
