title: [Completing total thyroidectomy with lymph node dissection using a scintillation probe--case report].
abstract: Surgery remains the basic therapeutical method of the thyroid gland papillary carcinoma treatment. It is complemented by the adjacent thyro-eliminating therapy. A remarkable number of the thyroid gland carcinoma cases is still being diagnosed accidentally during the surgery for the thyroid gland benign disorders. The above mentioned patients, then, must undergo a reoperation, in order for the total thyroidectomy (TTE) and the lymphonodes dissection (LU) to be finished. The reoperations should be conducted in specialized clinics by sufficiently proficient teams. Our study reviews a case of a patient who underwent three surgeries on his thyroid gland.
