    Author: Claeys D, Derom F, Verbist AM, Berzsenyi G, De Roose J, Vaneerdeweg W.
    Journal: Acta Chir Belg; 1978; 77(6):393-400. PubMed ID: 749483.
    Abstract:
    The surgical indications of a benign multinodular euthyroid struma are: compression of trachea and oesophagus or a possible malignity of the lesion. The operation of choice is a bilateral subtotal lobectomy. To avoid postoperative vocal cord paralysis or hypocalcemia due to damage of the parathyroid glands, it is important to demonstrate systematically the recurrent nerve and spare the inferior thyroid artery.
