Özet

Purpose: The main indications for completion thyroidectomy are the cases that operated for the benign disease, and had a diagnosis " follicular lesion" by FNA or frozen sections, and not exactly known as malignant or not, so waited for final pathological findings to avoid from unnecessary total thyroidectomy but which have malignant diagnosis finally. We aimed to evaluate the complications of the completion operations, which had unilateral or bilateral thyroidectomy for well differentiated carcinoma previously.
