Comparison between thyroidectomy and hemithyroidectomy in treatment of single thyroid nodules identified as indeterminate follicular lesions by fine-needle aspiration cytology.

Abstract

Considering the high rate in which HT represents the adequate treatment, and the low rate of re-operation morbidity, HT seems to be the preferable initial surgical approach for indeterminate follicular lesions. Long-term ultrasonographic follow-up seems advisable.
