Add to ORKGBACKGROUND: Thyroidectomy is considered a low-risk operation. The authors report a case of tracheal necrosis after total thyroidectomy for multinodular goiter with bilateral adenomas, and a case of oesophageal fistula after total thyroidectomy for papillary cancer. METHODS AND RESULTS: The patient with tracheal perforation was treated by a non operative management after clinical stabilization. The patient with oesophageal perforation underwent surgical treatment consisting of neck drain placement. Both patients are alive after 12 months of follow-up, although the patient who had surgery for papillary cancer of the thyroid gland was found to have multiple diffuse liver and lung metastases. CONCLUSIONS: Thyroidectomy is a safe surgical ...
