Interventions

PROCEDURE

total thyroidectomy followed by thyroid auto transplantation

All studied cases received general endotracheal anaesthesia, and all underwent total thyroidectomy. Frozen section will be done intraoperative to exclude malignancy and obtain piece of healthy tissue part . Most healthy-looking part of gland was selected after complete excision. Thyroid tissue to be transplanted weighed between two and five grammes. This section was finely split into ten-fifteen fragments with scalpel. Small pocket was created in sternomastoid muscle, into which these minor fragments were implanted, and this pocket was closed with absorbable sutures to prevent displacement of implanted fragments and was marked with metallic stables, as well as good hemostasis of thyroid bed and skin was closed with subcuticular sutures using absorbable three-zero Vicryl sutures.
