RESUMEN

We present a review of 150 partial or total thyroidectomies, only 126 of which were considered valid for this study. They were performed during the period from March 1985 to March 1990 to treat benign or malignant thyroid pathologies judged to be susceptible to surgery. Only three permanent complications resulted: a definitive hypothyroidism and two recurrent paralyses, both in cases of papillary carcinomas, one with extracapsular invasion which required the sacrifice of the nerve.
