OBJECTIVE To study the results of the reoperation for thyroid cancer. METHODS The clinical data of 288 cases who underwent reoperation for thyroid cancer were analyzed retrospectively. There were 69 male and 219 female. There were 249 cases (86.5 %) with papillary adenocarcinoma, 27 cases(9.4 %) with follicle adenocarcinoma, 6 cases (2 %) with medullar cancer, and 6 cases (2 %) with anaplastic cancer pathologically. The types of operation were lobectomy and near total lobectomy. The unilateral or bilateral neck dissections were performed in selected cases. RESULTS Pathological examination reveal that there were 63 cases of cancer residual in the ipsilateral side and 33 cases of the opposite side. The cervical node metastasis were present in 164 cases of patients at the same side. CONCLUSION The ipsilateral side lobaectomy and/or contralateral side near total lobectomy should be employed for the thyroid cancer patients.
