What has changed in thyroid surgery?
Stricter indications to perform thyroid gland surgery: as a result, fewer and fewer patients are being operated on. For example, the presence of nodules with benign features or small goiters are no longer an indication for surgery;

Less surgical aggressiveness in non-aggressive and non-locally advanced malignancies, resulting in a tendency to avoid unnecessary demolitive surgery;

Employment of new technologies in surgical dissection that make surgery more accurate and effective;

The possibility of using a device that allows monitoring of laryngeal nerves (Nerve Intraoperative Monitoring – NIM) with both intermittent and continuous technique, in order to prevent iatrogenic injury of nerve structures, a dreaded complication of thyroid surgery.
