  • Title: Long term follow-up after enucleation and resection for autonomously functioning thyroid nodules.
    Author: Wolf G, Langsteger W, Passath A.
    Journal: Acta Med Austriaca; 1990; 17 Suppl 1():84-5. PubMed ID: 2389643.
    Abstract:
    The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of the operative method (i.e. std. resection vs. enucleation) on postoperative function of the thyroid. Uni- or multifocal thyroid autonomy was resected (group I & III) or selectively enucleated (group II & IV). Postoperative function was determined after 6 and 12 months and again after 3-5 years. "Selective" treatment showed minor postoperative hypothyroidism, but goitrous, nodular or functional disorders are more often present compared to resection cases (4.4% vs 12%).
