title: [Extension of total thyroidectomy to the cellulo-lympho-thymic tissue of the anterior superior mediastinum].
abstract: Stress is laid on the importance of the cellulo-lympho-thymic tissue of the anterior-superior mediastinum in demolition surgery for thyroid cancer. For this reason, a straightforward, reliable technique for removing the thyrothymic lamina by the cervical route has been prepared. Experimented on cadavers, this method has been used for superior mediastinic lymphnode exeresis in all cases where it was indicated.
