[Thyroid autonomous nodule. Surgical treatment and postoperative outcome, retrospective study of 102 cases (author's transl)].

Follow-up of 102 patients operated upon for autonomous thyroid nodules is reported. Retrospective study of operative findings and aftermath of surgery clearly demonstrates that the patho-physiological concept of autonomous nodule does not snugly fit practical problems experienced with the management of such patients. The autonomous nodule can be a malignancy. Ipsilateral thyroid lobectomy seems more suitable than nodulectomy. Gross appearance of the thyroid remnant makes sometimes post-operative hormonotherapy unexpectedly advisable. From a theoretical point of view, post-operative thyroid scan, TSH assay and TRH test are mandatory, to assess recovery.
