This highly practical, full color teaching tool is focused on best surgical practice in thyroid surgery, including the key issue of prevention and management of surgical complications. An accompanying website contains twenty step-by-step surgical videos of thyroid surgery in action. Several chapters are included on brand new surgical techniques, such as robotic and image-localized surgery.
