    Abstract:
    Between 1980 and 1995, 4233 thyroid operations were carried out in our hospital and in 152 patients a thyroid carcinoma was treated. The choice of therapy concerning differentiated thyroid carcinoma, excluding the papillary microcarcinoma, is the thyroidectomy with resection of the central lymph node compartment. Since the introduction of routine, recurrent nerve representation, the rate of permanent nerve injury could be reduced from 7.2% to 1.3%. The permanent therapy of hypoparathyroidism was necessary for 9.9% of the patients. The well-known good prognosis of the differentiated and especially papillary thyroid cancer could be confirmed in our study.
