Popis: The incidence of recurrent goiter after different surgical procedures for colloid-cystic goiter has been studied in 210 patients. The results of the study confirm the high incidence of recurrence (35.7%). This incidence was shown to be higher in patients undergoing more conservative surgery. Furthermore, the incidence resulted also higher in younger patients, while it was lower after postoperative replacement therapy.
