[Early complications of thyroid surgery].
The complications in thyroid surgery reported in literature are variables. The Authors describe the experience on 803 thyroidectomy from 1 January 1995 to 31 December 2000. The knowledge of the embryologic origin of the parathyroids glands, of the causes of haemorrhage and the improvement of the surgical technique has permitted a lower incidence of complications.
