Abstract
The paper gives the immediate and late (more than 10-year) results of central lymphadenectomy (CLAE) (removal of the 6th group of cervical lymph nodes) in 912 patients with primary thyroid cancer (TC) in the Saint Petersburg Center for Endocrine Surgery and Oncology in 1973 to 2011. It is established that CLAE under the visual guidance of recurrent laryngeal nerves and parathyroids should be simultaneously performed during all primary operations for differentiated TC. It is clearly brought out that precision surgical techniques can prevent severe complications – recurrent nerve injuries and hypothyroidism.
