Özet

Objective: Retrosternal thyroid is the presence of thyroid tissue in the mediastinum either by enlarging of the cervical or by an ectopic mediastinal thyroid. Surgery for a retrosternal thyroid has technical differences than conventional cervical thyroid surgery and has a higher risk of complications. This paper aims to analyze the cases with retrosternal thyroid and to evaluate the outcomes of the surgery.
