title: [Complications in thyroid surgery].
abstract: Since the first years of the century, the improvement in surgical techniques has drastically reduced the main postoperative complication, profuse bleeding. More experience in thyroidectomy has highlighted other specific problems of the procedure, which has received substantial benefits by the adoption of targeted surgical techniques. The Authors describe the most important topics reported for each complication, on the basis of the latest literature and their own experience, with particular reference to the oncologic surgery of the thyroid.
