Whilst the thyroidectomy outcomes are not equal to international standards, an acceptable standard is achievable in this resource-limited setting. Poor outcomes are multifactorial but extremes of thyroid size, extremes of operation duration and total thyroidectomies all have statistically poorer outcomes in this setting.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
