[The effect of the primary operation on reoperations on the thyroid gland].
The authors analyze the possibility to reduce the number of reoperations of the thyroid gland, based on a group of thyroid operations performed at the Surgical Clinic of the Second Medical Faculty Charles University and Faculty Hospital Motol during the 22-year period from 1975-1997. 507 reoperations from a total number of 4501 thyroid operations amount to 11.3%. In the authors opinion correct indication of the operation is most important as well as the correct extent and technique of the primary operation. The achieved results are except for unilateral temporary lesions of the NLR comparable with primary operations.
