title: [Echographic evaluation of goiter recurrence].
abstract: Ultrasound is mandatory in the follow up of patients surgically treated for benign thyroid diseases. In this study the Authors have examined 87 patients who underwent different surgical treatments for goiter over 40 years. Ultrasound allowed a more accurate study of residual thyroid, particularly evaluating thyroid tissue morphology in symptomatic patients (43.6%) and detecting many recurrences in asymptomatic patients (37.3%). This study also confirms the advantage of a more extensive surgery to reduce recurrences without increasing complications.
