Abstract:
Objective To study the causes of thyroid reoperation and the prevention of operative (complications). Methods The clinical data of 96 cases who underwent reoperation of thyroid were (retrospctively) analysed. Results There were 31 cases of thyroid carcinoma(14.0%, P0.05). Conclusions Thyroid (reoperation) is more difficult than primary operation, and has a higher post-operative complications rate. (Thyroid) reoperation should be avoided or decreased, so the operator should do the best at the time of the (primary) operation, and timely reoperation should be performed when necessary. Thyroid reoperation should be performed carefully to decrease complications as much as possible.
