Evolución del hemitiroides residual tras hemitiroidectomía por nódulo único

In view of the above, hemithyroidectomy for solitary nodules should be performed after careful preoperative evaluation of clinical, hormonal, ultrasonographic and cytological data. It should not be performed in all patients as a standard procedure and, in addition to hormone studies, follow-up should always include ultrasonography with determination of residual thyroid volume.
