Abstract
The procedure of total thyroidectomy was developed by Theodore Kocher and William Halsted, total thyroidectomy was established as the preferred operation for a range of thyroid pathologies.
The indications for total thyroidectomy are thyroid cancer, multinodular goiter (MNG), Graves’ disease and other less common conditions, such as thyroiditis and Amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis.
For MNG, the indications for surgery include suspicion of malignancy, either clinically or cytologically, thyrotoxicosis, pressure symptoms, retrosternal extension and occasionally cosmesis.
