Surgical treatment; a practical treatise on the therapy of surgical diseases for the use of practitioners and students of surgery . \ EPITHELIAL B0DIE5 ,\lNF THYROID ART5. Fig. 1085.—Operation for Double Goiter. Diagram showing segments of thyroid to be resected and result after closure of wounds. All arteries are tied excepting a large branch of the superior thyroid on either side. The results of the operation are good, provided adequate thyroid tissuehas been left, the parathyroids have not been removed, the recurrentlaryngeal nerves not damaged, and the operation conducted with surgicalcircumspection. Aberrant goiter, forming in the accessory thyroid glands, should be treatedby removal provided the function of the thyroid is normal. Degenerativedisease of the thyroid gland proper may be followed by a compensatoryhypertrophy of an accessory thyroid. To remove such an organ would be aserious mistake. Aberrant goiter in the region of the hyoid bone is removed without greatdifficulty. Goiter developing in the lingual thyroid, or other tumor of theroot of the tongue, is difficult to reach.
