Abstract:

The classical Kocher incision for thyroid surgery has been the gold standard for more than a century. The present study was conducted to determine the impact of the size of the thyroid gland in planning the length of thyroidectomy incision.

Keywords:

Min-thyroidectomy, thyroid volume, incision length
