Percentage distribution of thyroidectomized patients, as to the definitive surgical complications, in relation to the type of surgery done (N/LI/L: lumpectomy/lobe-isthmectomy/lobectomy; ST: subtotal thyroidectomy; QTT/TT: quasi-total /total thyroidectomy). Comparison within each group, with or without complications, is represented by the upper case letters; and the one between the groups is in lower case ones [Goodman test; b > a, C > B > A (p < 0.05)].
