Surgical intervention in asymptomatic retrosternal goiter (RSG) is debated in the absence of suspicious cytology, while performing fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is challenging in thyroids with mediastinal extension. The rate of unexpected thyroid cancers found at the time of thyroidectomy varies widely, while the notion of increased cancer incidence in RSG with respect to cervical goiters is still controversial. We retrospectively reviewed 411 patients with a preoperative diagnosis of multinodular goiter (MNG) (114 retrosternal, 297 cervical) who underwent thyroidectomy at an academic endocrine surgery referral center between January 2019 and October 2022.

Background: Traditional teaching dictated that patients with recurrent thyroid cysts undergo excision owing to a 12% risk malignancy. Ultrasound evaluation now determines management of these patients augmented by fine needle biopsy. In UK, a non-diagnostic category for thyroid cysts (Thy1c) exists, whereas the Bethesda system combines 'non-diagnostic-cyst fluid only' into Category I along with paucicellular and acellular results.

Context: In patients undergoing thyroidectomy for malignant disease, lower quality of life scores were observed in the early postoperative period compared to those undergoing thyroidectomy for benign causes.

Objective: Thyroid gland diseases are commonly encountered in society. This study presents health-related quality of life differences in thyroidectomies performed for benign and malignant diseases and the factors affecting this.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the degree of effect of central lymph node dissection on postoperative hypoparathyroidism incidence.

Methods: The incidence of postoperative hypoparathyroidism was compared between patients receiving thyroidectomy with central neck dissection for papillary thyroid carcinoma and those undergoing thyroidectomy for benign thyroid diseases (thyroid follicular adenoma and/or nodular goiter) necessitating surgical intervention.

Results: The incidence of postoperative hypoparathyroidism was not significantly different between the groups of lobe thyroidectomy for benign thyroid diseases and lobe thyroidectomy with ipsilateral central lymph node dissection for papillary thyroid carcinoma (immediate: 9.
