Abstract

The definition, mode of development and symptomatology of cervico-thoracic goiters are described. The treatment of choice is a total thyroidectomy. The indication of each step in the preoperative work-up and the details of the surgical technique specific for cervico-thoracic goiters are reviewed. The choice between a purely cervical and a cervico-thoracic approach remains controversial in function of the morbidity.
