Between July 1st, 1988 and July 31st, 1989 we registered 74 consecutive patients with a unilateral goitre. In all these patients the preoperative sonography showed no pathologic finding in the contralateral lobe of the thyroid. In 16 cases we found and resected nodules in the lobe, which was supposed to be normal. A consequent exposure of the whole thyroid gland, independent of the preoperative sonographic finding, principally is necessary. So, the rate of "false" goitre recurrences might be decreased.
在1988年7月1日至1989年7月31日期间，我们连续登记了74例单侧甲状腺肿患者。所有这些患者术前超声检查显示甲状腺对侧叶无病理发现。在16例患者中，我们在本应正常的叶中发现并切除了结节。因此，无论术前超声检查结果如何，原则上都有必要对整个甲状腺进行暴露。这样，“假性”甲状腺肿复发率可能会降低。
