Abstract

Between 1991 and 1994, 600 thyroidectomies were performed at the Beilinson Medical Center in Israel, 120 of which were due to malignancies. Routine preoperative and follow-up ultrasound examinations were performed in 100 cases. A prospective study comparing preoperative ultrasonic and operative findings revealed that ultrasound offered significant preoperative information that could alter operative decisions. Ultrasound also proved to be a valuable tool in follow-up. Based on ultrasound findings, patients were salvaged at an early stage of recurrent disease.
