[Problems of strumectomy from the ENT viewpoint].
During surgical ENT-treatment of the neck often operations including the goitre have to be performed. The reason for interferance is the mechanical obstruction of the air and food passage and not a functional leason of the gland. The problems of strumectomy connected with surgical treatment of tumors, with dystopic thyroid tissue and with the stenotic trachea are shown. Possibilities to preserve damage to the recurrent nerve and to restitute a sufficient glottic with in case of palsy are discussed.
