Overview
Surgery is usually reserved for patients with esophageal or tracheal compressive symptoms.
Surgery
- Usually, thyroid debulking surgery is performed in Riedel's thyroiditis.[1][2][3][4]
- Total thyroidectomy is difficult due to:
- Lack of tissue planes for surgery
- Fibrosis of adjacent structures
- Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either:
- Tracheal compression
- Esophageal compression
