Mean dominant nodüle diameter was 27.9±10.6 in preoperative sonographic evaluation. Postoperative complications were seen in two patients; one of them was temporary hypoparathyroidism and the other was dysphonia. Postoperative bleeding, permanent recurrent laryngeal nevre palsy and hypoparathyroidism were not observed in any of the patients.
