Abstract
Thyroid Surgery is commonly performed by the general surgeons throughout the world. It is indicated as elective treatment for thyroid neoplasm. During surgery injury to RLN is common complication. Damage to the RLN has been reported as most common iatrogenic complications associated with surgeries of the thyroid gland. Injury to the RLN is most frequent and important cause of morbidity in thyroidectomies. Today most of the complications of thyroid surgery are related to either metabolic derangement or injury to recurrent laryngeal nerve. Other complications include hypoparathyroidism, hematoma, seroma, infection at surgical site, superior laryngeal nerve palsy. Hence before any thyroid surgery patient must be precisely informed the possible complications and their remedies. The present study aims to evaluate intra operative and post operative complications in 80 cases of giant thyroid gland tumours.
