“In endocrine surgery, thyroidectomy is the most frequently performed surgical procedure.
Morbidity related to thyroidectomy is mainly represented by hypoparathyroidism, recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, and cervical haematoma. These complications can occur at a
considerable rate even if thyroid surgery is performed by highly experienced surgeons.
Obtaining accurate haemostasis during thyroidectomy is crucial to prevent the occurrence of postoperative bleeding and, allowing adequate vision of the anatomical structures, is also important to avert the onset of the other complications.”
