Abstract Total thyroidectomy has the advantage of removing the entire target organ in the diffuse diseases of toxic goiter and chronic thyroiditis and in some cases of multinodular goiter and cancer. The procedure can be performed with a morbidity and mortality comparable to that of subtotal thyroidectomy. When more than the thyroid gland is removed,
