Abstract The authors review the recent international literature relating to approximately 36,800 cases of thyroid surgery, analysing the complications associated with total thyroidectomy versus partial resection of the thyroid, with a view to drawing up lines of conduct in terms of indications for surgery of benign disease and suggestions on surgical technique to reduce complications such as recurrent laryngeal nerve injuries (transient and definitive), hypocalcaemia (transient and definitive) and superior laryngeal nerve injuries.
