Article Abstract
Objective: Thyroid lobectomy can be programmed to operate as "step by step". Each step must be performed meticulously with quality control, so as to minimize the complications of surgery.
Methods: From May 2013 to Auguest 2014, the meticulous thyroid operation was conducted in 72 cases (144 lobectomies). Pre- and post-operative evaluations by strobe laryngoscopy, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and blood calcium examinations were conducted in all cases.
Results: Four cases (5.6%) had transient recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis after surgery, but no permanent recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis. There was no transient or permanent superior laryngeal nerve paralysis. Transient hypoparathyroidism occurred in 10 cases, with no permanent hypoparathyroidism. No case presented with postoperative bleeding or infection.
Conclusions: "Meticulous operation of thyroid lobectomy" may minimize effectively the complication of surgery.

Objective: An optimal surgical approach for intermediate-risk papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) has not yet been established. The surgical procedure should be determined based on treatment outcomes and postoperative complications. This study aimed to evaluate appropriate surgical strategies for patients with intermediate-risk PTC by comparing treatment outcomes and postoperative complications following total thyroidectomy and lobectomy.

: Thyroidectomy, a surgical procedure for thyroid disorders, is associated with postoperative voice changes, even in cases without recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury. Our study evaluates the prevalence and predictors of voice disorders in thyroidectomy patients without RLN injury. : Our single-center prospective study at the University Hospital Center Zagreb included 243 patients, with pre- and postoperative voice evaluations using acoustic analysis and videostroboscopy.
