at the Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck
Surgery at the National University Hospital, Singapore

in this study. Preoperative patient data included age,
gender, history of previous thyroid surgery, indication for
surgery, vocal cord examination via laryngoscopy, and
biochemical measurement of thyroid status. Preoperative
ultrasound imaging of the thyroid gland was performed in
some patients. This provided objective details about the
characteristics and size of the lesions.
