Abstract
Hemithyroidectomy, according to surgical societies guidelines, is still the therapy of choice in patients with papillary microcarcinoma, with excellent results and a very low complication rate. The disease can be treated only by surgery. And active monitoring should be carried out only under well-defined and controlled conditions. Total thyroidectomy is indicated in patients with multifocal carcinoma, extrathyroidal tumor growth, hereditary tumors (FNMTC), as well as in children and adolescents. In our case, systematic lymphadenectomy is provided according to radiological indications or in case of suspicion of metastatic damage to lymph nodes detected intraoperatively, however, in case of relapse disease, due to the high probability of recurrent nerve damage due to reoperation and the advantage of frozen section pathology examination of intraoperative lymph nodes, the latter is actively used to increase the rate of further recovery in patients of our clinic and in order to maintain the quality of life.
